Before running this step ensure that you have the following information available:

Whether the IBM HTTP Server is installed locally or not.

The IBM HTTP Server home directory <ihs_home>, if the IBM HTTP server is installed locally.

A new Web server host name. If the Web server is installed locally on the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system, the default host name can be accepted.

Suite V5.1 cannot be used.

Whether the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 instance and the new WebSphere Commerce V5.6 instance are using the same database server.

A new database name for DB2 databases or a new service ID for Oracle databases if the same database server is to be used for WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 and WebSphere Commerce V5.6.

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

WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system.

<wc56_home>\bin\
