Migrate attribute data
If the site plans to use the Management Center attribute dictionary after migrating to WebSphere Commerce v7 Feature Pack 2, there are some tasks perform to prepare the site.
If the store uses the WebSphere Commerce v7 Feature Pack 1 attribute dictionary, all data in the attribute dictionary is automatically migrated to the WebSphere Commerce v7 Feature Pack 2 attribute dictionary. Attribute data that is not contained within the Feature Pack 1 attribute dictionary (for example, stored with the catalog entry) is not automatically migrated to the Feature Pack 2 attribute dictionary. You must manually migrate this attribute data to the Feature Pack 2 attribute dictionary.
