Before using the migration tools, consult the IBM® WebSphere Application Server supported hardware, software, and APIs Web site to understand what fixes you must apply to earlier versions. Applying fixes to an earlier version might also apply fixes to files that have a role in the migration. Apply any fixes to ensure the most effective migration of configurations and applications.
