Back up and restoring the database
The Migration wizard prompts if a database backup and restore is completed. Restore the database backup image to the database server for WebSphere Commerce Developer v7.0. The restored database backup is what is migrated in order to keep the current environment functioning. The Migration wizard will not allow you to continue until database backup, restore, or both have been completed.
