Migrate promotions
The Management Center v7 Promotions tool uses a data model that is different from the data model for WebSphere Commerce Accelerator and Management Center v6 Feature Pack 3 and 3.0.1. This change requires that promotions created using these earlier versions of WebSphere Commerce be migrated so that they work properly in the Management Center v7 Promotions tool. A promotion migration utility is provided for this purpose.
Any promotions created using Management Center v6 Feature Pack 4 do not require migration.
