Migration support consists of tools that are included with WebSphere® Application Server. These tools
primarily provide support for saving the configuration and applications
from a previous version of the product into a migration-specific backup
directory and then importing that configuration into the latest version
of the application server.
Procedure
Select the appropriate migration tools to migrate your
product configurations.

New feature: You can use the z/OS Migration
Management Tool to collect the information and generate the Job Control
Language (JCL) jobs (CNTL and DATA datasets) for migrating a standalone
application server, deployment manager, or federated node. You must
create these jobs before you can begin the actual migration.
