Using the Migration wizard to migrate product configurations

Use the Migration wizard to migrate an earlier supported version of WebSphere Application Server to Version 6.1.

Before you begin

See Overview of migration, coexistence, and interoperability and Premigration considerations.

Before using the Migration wizard, you must have access to the existing, previous version of WebSphere Application Server.

Migrating a WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x or 6.0.x deployment manager to a Version 6.1 deployment manager moves all of the Version 5.x or 6.0.x managed nodes to become Version 5.x or 6.0.x managed nodes in the Version 6.1 cell. If you are migrating a Version 5.x or 6.0.x managed node that is part of a Version 6.1 cell to a Version 6.1 managed node, do not federate the managed node when you create it with the Profile Management tool, but do be sure that the Version 5.x or 6.0.x and Version 6.1 node names match. Migrating the Version 5.x or 6.0.x managed node to the Version 6.1 managed node also federates the node.

The Migration wizard was introduced in WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0. The wizard is the graphical interface to the primary Version 6.1 migration tools, the WASPreUpgrade command and the WASPostUpgrade command, which are command-line tools.

Procedure

Select the appropriate option to obtain instructions on how to migrate from your old version of WebSphere Application Server using the Migration wizard.
Tip: For help in troubleshooting problems when migrating, see Troubleshooting migration.
