Draft Document for Review July 28, 2004 7:33 pm 6320ch_migrating.fm

Note: all the information required for this step is derived from the

WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 system.

–The WebSphere Application Server home directory <was35_home>.

–The WebSphere Application Server administration node name.

–The WebSphere Application Server node name.

–Whether the IBM HTTP Server is installed locally or not.

–The IBM HTTP Server home directory <ihs_home>.

On the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 system, run the WCIM tool with the following parameters to backup your existing instance:

wcim.bat -component wc -from 51 -backup remote -instance <instance_name>

from the following directory:

<wc51_home>\temp\bin\

In our example:

wcim.bat -component wc -from 51 -backup remote -instance demo

–Enter the previous WebSphere Application Server home directory:

D:\WebSphere\AppServer

–Enter the previous WebSphere Application Server administration node name:

wcs51

–Enter the previous WebSphere Application Server node name: wcs51

–Is a previous IBM HTTP Server installed locally? [DEFAULT yes] yes

–Enter the previous IBM HTTP Server home directory:

D:\WebSphere\HTTP

Running the above command will produce the following file:

<wc51_home>\temp\instance_backup.zip

The instance_backup.zip file contains a single file,

backupwc_51_<instance name>.zip, which is used to deploy the instance on WebSphere Commerce V5.6.

5. Transfer and unpack the backup file
