-instanceName instance

Specifies the 561 or 60 WCS instance name for the database that you are migrating.

  • WebSphere Commerce Enterprise drive:\WCToolkitEE70

  • WebSphere Commerce Professional drive:\WCToolkitPro70

  • WebSphere Commerce - Express drive:\WCToolkitExpress70

  • Apache Derby If you use the -instanceName parameter, it creates a subdirectory under the WCDE_installdir\logs\WCIM\instance directory.

tier

Specifies the tier of the WebSphere Commerce topology that you are migrating. You can migrate the following tiers:

db

The database server.

app

The application server.

When you run the config action on the app tier, it will also configure the Web server through the Web server plug-in.

action

Specifies the action to perform when the command runs. The supported actions are:

check

Runs the database pre-migration checker to check the status of the database prior to migrating it. Running the database pre-migration checker prior to performing the database tier migration is recommended.

None

Normal

All error messages and events are logged. It is the recommended option for most database tier migrations as it only requires in the order of 10 KB of storage for most migrations.

Verbose
