10.2.2 Prepare resources

The WCIM tool will create a ZIP archive with the entire directory structure for the instance directory, that is all files under the directory

<wcs_home>\instances\<instancename>

Where <wcs_home> is the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 installation directory and <instancename> is the name of your instance.

If you have WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 customized files and directories in other locations outside of the instance directory that you wish to have included in the ZIP archive, you must now copy these files and directories to subdirectories under the mentioned instance directory

In our example we did not have any customized files or directories.

Note: It is not a strict requirement that you copy customized files to the instance directory. The WCIM ZIP file is merely a convenient way to copy all necessary file assets from the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 system to the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system.

10.2.3 Disable security on WebSphere Application Server

If WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 security is enabled on your WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system, you must disable it before migrating your instance by doing as follows:

1.Open the WebSphere Application Server Administration console for the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system.

2.Click Security > Global Security and clear the Enable Security check box in the right panel

3.Click OK and save the changes

4.Restart the WebSphere Application Server administrative server on the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system.

10.3Database preparation

This section describes the tasks needed to prepare the database for the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 database migration script. Each task is split up in subsystems and can be applied in any order, only Section 10.3.1, “Unsent messages” on page 189 should be considered first.
