Migrating a stand-alone version of WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation to WebSphere Process Server 6.0

Perform the following steps to migrate a stand-alone installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation 5.1 or 5.1.1 to WebSphere Process Server 6.0
  1. Install WebSphere Application Server 6.0 on the workstation on which the WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation instance that you intend to migrate is installed.
    1. Use the profile creation wizard to create a stand-alone profile and specify the same node name as the 5.1 or 5.1.1 node.
    2. Install WebSphere Process Server 6.0 to the same location that you installed WebSphere Application Server 6.0. Ensure that the profile is augmented with WebSphere Business Integration files. Do not start the 6.0 server.
    3. Create a sample Business Process Choreographer configuration only if you do not intend to migrate an existing WebSphere Process Choreographer configuration.
  2. Stop the 5.1 or 5.1.1 server. At this point you can verify your 6.0 server but ensure that it is stopped before proceeding.
  3. Migrate the instance of Server Foundation to WebSphere Application Server 6.0, using either of the following methods:
    Method of migrating Steps required to migrate
    Invoke the Runtime Migration GUI
    1. Select the source WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation 5.1 or 5.1.1 instance.
    2. Select the target WebSphere Process Server 6.0 profile.
    3. Select a location where a backup of the configuration can be created.
    4. Perform the migration.
    5. Start the 6.0 server.
    Invoke the individual migration tools from the command line
    1. Run the WebSphereProcessServerPreUpgrade command-line utility to back up the Server Foundation 5.1 or 5.1.1 configuration tree. This command renames the serverindex.xml file in the config repository to serverindex.xml_disabled, which prevents the 5.1 or 5.1.1 server from being accidentally started (which could cause port conflicts).
    2. Run the WebSphereProcessServerPostUpgrade command-line utility to migrate the system configuration and, optionally, all applications.
    3. Start the 6.0 server.
