- Overview of migrating the WebSphere Commerce application using the Migration wizard
Migrating the application tier is the second step in the migration process. Use the Migration wizard to migrate the WebSphere Commerce application.
- Installing Remote WebSphere Commerce Management Utilities
If you are planning to migrate to new hardware, before you migrate the WebSphere Commerce application using the Migration wizard, you will need to install the Remote WebSphere Commerce Management Utilities. Ensure that the machine you will be using to install the Remote WebSphere Commerce Management Utilities code has 150 MB of free space available on the drive where you want to install the Remote WebSphere Commerce Management Utilities code.
- Migrating the WebSphere Commerce application using the Migration wizard
Before the application tier is migrated, a backup is needed. If the previous and new versions of WebSphere Commerce are installed on the same system, the Migration wizard automatically backs up the application for you. If the previous and new versions of WebSphere Commerce are installed on different systems, manual steps are required.
