Using staging to production techniques to complete the migration
Choose this option if you want to use staging to production techniques to migrate from Portal Version 8.0.0.1 on WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.5.5.2 to HCL Digital Experience 8.5/9.5.
You can set up a staging server with a Portal 8.0.0.1 and WebSphere Application Server 8.0.0.5 installation, and use the staging to production tools to create a new environment that is based on the source environment.
-
Install Portal 8.0.0.1 and WebSphere Application Server 8.0.0.5 on a staging server with the same operating system as the source server.
-
Use the HCL Portal staging to production tools to deploy a stand-alone server that is based on the source server.
-
Install the HCL Digital Experience 8.5/9.5 and WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.12/9.0.5 binary files on the target server.
-
Access the Configuration Wizard on the target server, and click Migrate to a New Version > Migrate a Stand-alone Server.
-
When you complete the migration of the stand-alone staging server, you can build it into a cluster if needed.
