WAS v8.5 > Migrate, coexist, and interoperateMigrating web services
This page provides a starting point for finding information about web services.
Web services are self-contained, modular applications that can be described, published, located, and invoked over a network. They implement a services oriented architecture (SOA), which supports the connecting or sharing of resources and data in a very flexible and standardized manner. Services are described and organized to support their dynamic, automated discovery and reuse.
Subtopics
- Migrating web services
- Migrating Web Services Security
We can migrate Web Services Security bindings from an older version to the latest version of WebSphere Application Server. WAS v8.5 migration function handles most of the migration process, but your input and action is required for specific configurations in order to complete the migration.- Migrating the UDDI registry
With most scenarios, existing UDDI registries are migrated automatically when we migrate to the current level of WAS. However, if your existing UDDI registry uses a network Apache Derby database or a DB2 UDDI v2 database, there are some manual steps that you must take.
