Migrate to a v8.0 stand-alone application server

Use the migration tools to migrate from a WAS Application Server Version 6.x or 7.x stand-alone application server profile to a v8.0 stand-alone application server.

Supported configurations:

This topic is about configuration migration, such as migrating dmgrs and federated nodes in a network deployment environment. The Application Migration Toolkit for WAS provides support for migrating applications from previous versions of WAS to the latest product version. For information about migrating applications, read more about the Application Migration Toolkit.

Read Overview of migration, coexistence, and interoperability and Premigration considerations.

For help, read Troubleshoot migration.

If your scenario includes migrating a WAS Application Server Version 6.x or 7.x configuration on one machine to v8.0 on another machine, use the alternate procedure described in Migrate to a v8.0 stand-alone application server on a remote machine.

Tip: Before migrating a WAS v6.x or 7.x stand-alone application server, use the backupConfig command or your own preferred backup utility to back up your existing configuration if to be able to restore it to its previous state after migration. Read the "backupConfig command" article in the information center for more information. Make sure that you note the exact name and location of this backed-up configuration.

Decide whether to migrate from WAS Application Server Version 6.x or 7.x to v8.0 using the Migration wizard or using the command-line migration tools.
