Use the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.x migration tools to migrate your product configurations. These migration tools support migration from WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x and Version 6.0.x.
See Overview of migration, coexistence, and interoperability and Premigration considerations.
Migration Source | WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.x Target |
---|---|
Express Standalone Profile | |
WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x or 6.0.x base standalone application server | Supported |
WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x or 6.0.x Network Deployment standalone application server | Supported |
WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x or 6.0.x Network Deployment federated application server | |

You can migrate your product configurations using the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.x command-line migration tools.
Before using the migration tools, consult the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.x Release Notes document to understand what fixes you must apply to earlier versions. Applying fixes to an earlier version might also apply fixes to files that have a role in the migration. Apply any fixes to ensure the most effective migration of configurations and applications.
The WASPreUpgrade command saves the configuration and applications of the previously installed version of WebSphere Application Server into a migration-specific backup directory. The WASPostUpgrade command uses the backupConfig command to save the existing Version 6.1.x configuration before performing migration, and the results are stored in the profile_name/temp directory. You can use the restoreConfig command to restore the backup if required.
