Before you begin

  1. DB2 Run the updatedb2configuration.bat script .

Procedure

  1. If you are running the Migration wizard on a machine that is different from the one that has your previous version of WebSphere Commerce, copy the following file from your Version 5.6.1 or 6.0 machine, to a temporary directory on the machine where the Migration wizard is running:
    • Version 5.6.1: WCDE_installdir \conf\xml\config.xml
    • Version 6.0: WCDE_installdir \xml\config\wc-server.xml

    During the migration, you are prompted for the location of this XML file.

  2. Complete the following steps:
    1. Open a DOS command window.
    2. Navigate to directory WCDE_installdir /bin .
    3. Enter the following command to start the wizard:
      • wcimServer.bat [-port port_number -loglevel log_level ]
      Where:
      port_number
      Optional: The number of the endpoint port. If a number is specified, the value must be between 1024 and 65535. If a number is not specified, the default number is 10,999.
      log_level
      Optional: The level of logging can be set to ERROR, WARNING, NORMAL, DEBUG, or VERBOSE. The default value is VERBOSE.
  3. Wait for the following message to be displayed: 
    Event: WCIM server started with protocol default at port 10,999.
    This indicates the server has started successfully.
  4. To start the Migration wizard client, complete the following steps:
    1. Open a DOS command window.
    2. Navigate to directory WCDE_installdir /bin .
    3. Depending whether your client machine is local or remote from the server machine, complete one of the following tasks:
      • If the Migration wizard client is located on the same machine as WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0, enter:
        • wcimclient.bat
      • If the Migration wizard client is located on a machine remote from WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0, enter:
        • wcimclient.bat -hostname hostname [-port port_number -loglevel log_level ]
        Where:
        hostname
        The hostname of the machine where the Migration wizard server is running.
        port_number
        Optional: The number of the endpoint port. If a number was specified to start the Migration wizard server, the same port number value must be specified for the client.
        log_level
        Optional: The level of logging can be set to ERROR, WARNING, NORMAL, DEBUG, or VERBOSE. The default value is VERBOSE.
  5. The Migration wizard's default user is wcimadmin and the default password is wcimibm . Use these values to sign in.
