The following sections describe concepts and instructions
for migrating WebSphere® Portal Express®.
Removing custom JVM properties
In WebSphere Portal Express Version
6.1.x, some custom JVM properties were introduced to improve performance.
Since Version 7.0, these custom properties are no longer needed and
are unavailable, hence they need to be removed before migrating.
Migrating from WebSphere Portal Express V6.1.x on a V6.1 application server
When you migrate from IBM WebSphere Portal Express V6.1.x on IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1, you can migrate
either a standalone, single server or a clustered deployment with
nodes distributed across multiple servers. New tools and enhanced
capabilities provide a more streamlined experience while minimizing
required downtime.
Migrating from WebSphere Portal Express V6.1.x on a V7 application server
When you migrate from IBM WebSphere Portal Express V6.1.x on IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.0, you can migrate
either a standalone, single server or a clustered deployment with
nodes distributed across multiple servers. New tools and enhanced
capabilities provide a more streamlined experience while minimizing
required downtime.
Migrating from WebSphere Portal Express V7.0
When you migrate from IBM WebSphere Portal ExpressV7.0, you can migrate
either a standalone, single server or a clustered deployment with
nodes distributed across multiple servers. New tools and enhanced
capabilities provide a more streamlined experience while minimizing
required downtime.
Deploying new functionality in a migrated portal
The migration process collects configuration data and applications
from an earlier installed version of IBM WebSphere Portal Express and merges them into
the newer installed version so that the new environment is identical
to the earlier environment. Taking advantage of new functionality
that was not available in the earlier portal requires additional attention
after migration is complete.
