Migrating the development environment database using the WebSphere Commerce Migration wizard
The Migration wizard server runs on the machine where WebSphere Commerce Developer v7.0 is installed. The WebSphere Commerce Migration wizard client can be installed on any machine which supports graphics.
Before you begin
Procedure
- If you are running the Migration wizard on a machine that is different from the one that has the previous version of WebSphere Commerce, copy the following file from the v5.6.1 or 6.0 machine, to a temporary directory on the machine where the Migration wizard is running:
- v5.6.1: WCDE_installdir \conf\xml\config.xml
- v6.0: WCDE_installdir \xml\config\wc-server.xml
During the migration, you are prompted for the location of this XML file.
- Complete the following steps:
- Open a DOS command window.
- Navigate to directory WCDE_installdir /bin .
- Enter the following command to start the wizard:
- wcimServer.bat [-port port_number -loglevel log_level ]
Where:
- port_number
- Optional: The number of the endpoint port. If a number is specified, the value must be between 1024 and 65535. If a number is not specified, the default number is 10,999.
- log_level
- Optional: The level of logging can be set to ERROR, WARNING, NORMAL, DEBUG, or VERBOSE. The default value is VERBOSE.
- Wait for the following message to be displayed:
Event: WCIM server started with protocol default at port 10,999.This indicates the server has started successfully.
- To start the Migration wizard client, complete the following steps:
- Open a DOS command window.
- Navigate to directory WCDE_installdir /bin .
- Depending whether the client machine is local or remote from the server machine, complete one of the following tasks:
- If the Migration wizard client is located on the same machine as WebSphere Commerce v7.0, enter:
- wcimclient.bat
- If the Migration wizard client is located on a machine remote from WebSphere Commerce v7.0, enter:
- wcimclient.bat -hostname hostname [-port port_number -loglevel log_level ]
Where:
- hostname
- The hostname of the machine where the Migration wizard server is running.
- port_number
