How do I migrate, coexist, and interoperate?

Use the documentation provided to answer your questions about migration, coexistence, and interoperability.

[IBM i] Find out about supported migration paths, migration tools, the goals of migration as well as coexistence, and more.Overview of migration, coexistence, and interoperability

Learn what changes during migration, which involves migrating a single instance or profile to another profile on the same or a separate machine.Configuration mapping during product-configuration migration

[IBM i] Become acquainted with the tools that the product provides for migration.Migrating product configurations with migration tools

Learn which product configurations are supported. Specification levels are included.Review the software and hardware prerequisites

Most combinations of Version 5.1.x, 6.x, and 7.0 products can coexist so long as there are no port conflicts. However, there are some coexistence limitations as described in the documentation.Running multiple application server versions

Version 7.0 autonomically detects free ports among profiles installed from the same core product files. However, the port mechanism does not detect ports in use by previous versions or by other products. You must verify that you are using ports that do not conflict with other products and programs running on your node.Configuring port settings

Version 7.0 is generally interoperable with some previous versions. However, there are specific requirements to address for each version. Certain changes might be required to support interoperability between versions.Interoperating multiple application server versions
