The command has the following parameters:
The WASPreUpgrade tool displays status to the screen while it runs. The tool also saves a more extensive set of logging information in the WASPreUpgrade.time_stamp.log file written to the backupDirectory directory, where backupDirectory is the value specified for the backupDirectory parameter. You can view the WASPreUpgrade.time_stamp.log file with a text editor.
WASPreUpgrade saves all of your resources, but it does not migrate entities in your classes directory.
