Migrate campaigns and Web activities from WebSphere Commerce Accelerator to Management Center

By running the marketing migration utility, you migrate existing campaign and Web activity data so that business users can use Management Center to manage all marketing objects, instead of WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.

Before you begin

Ensure you have reviewed and understood the information in Overview of migrating marketing from WebSphere Commerce Accelerator to Management Center v7.

Before running the marketing migration utility:

• Complete migration of the WebSphere Commerce database and application to v7.

• Complete migration of promotions to Management Center v7.

The marketing migration utility is a script that calls an ANT task that loads a configuration file to migrate campaign and Web activity data to the the Management Center database tables. Error conditions will be written to standard output.

Procedure

1. Stop the WebSphere Commerce server.
   

2. Ensure that you run the marketing migration utility as the wasuser user.

   To do so, issue the following command: su - wasuser_ID where wasuser_ID is the non-root user ID created before installing WebSphere Commerce. The default WebSphere Application Server user name is wasuser.

3. Open a command prompt window.

4. Run the marketing migration utility with arguments specifying the build file and the information needed to connect to a database in the server environment.

   1. Call the migration script with the following command:

      • WCDE_installdir/bin/migrateMarketing.bat -verbose

      -verbose

      (Optional) Indicates that you require additional logging for use when debug the command.

   2. Call the migration script with the following command:

      • WC_INSTALL/bin/config_ant.bat -buildfile WC_INSTALL/migration/optional/components/component-services/subcomponents/marketing/xml/MarketingMigration.xml -DinstanceName=instance -DdbUserPassword=database_password -logfile logfile_path -verbose

      • WC_INSTALL/bin/config_ant.sh -buildfile WC_INSTALL/migration/optional/components/component-services/subcomponents/marketing/xml/MarketingMigration.xml -DinstanceName=instance -DdbUserPassword=database_password -logfile logfile_path -verbose

      -buildfile

      (Required) Specifies the build file to use for the migration. This parameter must be followed by the path to the migration build file as shown.

      -DinstanceName

      (Required) Specifies the instance to migrate. When using this parameter, replace instance with the name of the WCS instance for which you are migrating the marketing data.

      -DdbUserPassword

      (Required) Provides the password to use to connect to the database. When using this parameter, replace database_password with the WebSphere Commerce database user's password.

      -logfile

      (Optional) Specifies the location of a log file. When using this parameter, replace logfile_path with the absolute path of a file to contain logging information, for example, C:\marketingMigration.log. If you do not specify this parameter, then logging information is displayed in the console.

      -verbose

      (Optional) Indicates that you require additional logging for use when debug the command.

5. Review the log file to understand the results of the migration.
