Review the migration planning information. See Knowledge Collection: Migration planning for WebSphere® Application Server.

You can migrate administrative agent profiles and the registered set of managed base application servers from Version 7.0 or above to Version 8.5.

About this task

Job manager profiles can have one or more of the following server types registered:
  • Deployment manager servers
  • Managed base application servers (which are also registered to an administrative agent)
Avoid trouble Avoid trouble:
  1. Managed base application servers and deployment manager servers cannot accept jobs from a job manager that is of a previous version. To avoid problems, migrate your job manager profiles to Version 8.5 before you migrate managed base application servers and deployment manager servers to Version 8.5.
  2. When migrating the managed base application server or managed deployment manager in a flexible management environment, the node names must be the same in Version 8.5 and the previous releases.
