Intelligent Management: VEUpgrade command

Use the VEUpgrade command to migrate product configuration data from an existing WebSphere Virtual Enterprise v6.1.0.5, v6.1.1, or v7.0 cell to a new Intelligent Management v8.5 cell.

Run the command from the target_profile_root/bin directory.

Parameters

-userID

The administrative user name for authentication if security is enabled on the workstation. Because the migration utility does not check for the -userID parameter, we must specify it or the migration process fails. (Required)

-password

Administrative password for authentication if security is enabled on the workstation. Because the migration utility does not check for the -password parameter, we must specify it or the migration process fails. (Required)

-sourceWasHome

The install_root directory of the existing product installations from which the configuration is migrated. (Required)

-sourceProfilePath

Fully qualified path of the existing profile from which the configuration is migrated. (Required)

-targetProfilePath

Fully qualified path to the target profile. (Required)

-traceLevel

Trace level for generating diagnostic messages. (Optional)

-traceDir

Directory of the XDUpgrade.log and XDUpgrade.trace files. The default directory is app_server_root/logs. (Optional)

The following example migrates the deployment manager to the new cell:

VEUpgrade.sh -userid user_name -password user_password 
-sourcewashome install_root/DeploymentManager -sourceprofilepath install_root/DeploymentManager/profiles/default 
-targetprofilepath target_profile_path/DeploymentManager/profiles/default

The following example migrates an application server to the new cell:

VEUpgrade.sh -userid user_name -password user_password 
-sourcewashome install_root/AppServer -sourceprofilepath install_root/AppServer/profiles/default 
-targetprofilepath target_profile_path/AppServer/profiles/default
