Use the migration tools to migrate an earlier WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0.x or Version 5.x release that is running on an operating system that Version 6.0.x does not support.
Steps for this task
See WASPreUpgrade command. Run the command from the migration\bin (or migration/bin) directory in the platform_root of the Version 6.0.x CD-ROM.
If possible, keep the system name and passwords the same as the old system. Place any database files related to applications you are migrating in the same path as the previous system. In general, try to keep paths the same. If you do change paths and names, refer to Migrating from Version 5.x to a Version 6.0.x stand-alone application server on a remote machine. Make any changes before running the WASPostUpgrade command below. See WASPostUpgrade command.
