3.5.1: Using the database conversion assistant to switch administrative databases
The database conversion assistant helps you modify the WebSphere administrative server
configuration in order to switch from one administrative database to another. This user-friendly
editor leads you through the necessary changes to the database configuration information
stored in the administrative server configuration and setupcmdline
files.
The assistant helps you convert database
settings.
You must also move database
content from the old database to the new database.
(You can use the XMLConfig administrative client to do so automatically).
Use the database migration assistant as part of the overall procedure described in
article 3.5.
Obtaining and running the database conversion assistant
Create a directory named DBUpgrade. Make sure it is a subdirectory of
the WebSphere directory in the
product installation_root.
