About this task

Migrating from WebSphere Application Server Version 6.x or 7.x:
  • Only web servers defined on managed nodes are migrated to WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0.
  • If you are migrating a web server and plug-ins from WebSphere Application Server Version 6.x or 7.x to Version 8.0 and the web server is defined on an unmanaged node, the web server creation and application mapping must be done manually.
    To create the web server definition manually, perform one of the following actions:
    • Use the administration console wizard.

      To generate mapping to all applications that are installed at web server creation, use the mapping ALL option in the wizard.

    • Use the wsadmin command.
      $AdminTask createWebServer -interactive 
      and reply ALL to the mapping applications prompt.
    • Use the configureWebserverDefintion.jacl script.

      This script maps all installed applications to the web server. The script updates all of the information related to the web server plug-in such as the locations of the plug-in installation root, log file, configuration file, and key stores on the Web-server system. However, the script does not update other properties related to the web server if the web server definition already exists.
