My current application setup is running with WAS 7.0 and we are planning to migrate with WAS 8.5. Since my application is having lot of complex console setup like Queues , Activation Spec, multiple data sources , security configs, work manager etc... So, I thought of using a WAS 7.0 CAR file in WAS 8.5 to restore the profile configuration.

Is it possible to do that or do we have to configure manually in WAS 8.5?

To be honest I've never tried that, but you have some other supported migration paths:

  • Use migration wizard/migration tools - see Migrating product configurations for details - this will scan your v7.0 profile configuration and create v 8.5.5 profile. Probably the easiest, if you have lots of customized changes and dont have any scripts relating to them.

  • Use WebSphere Configuration Migration Tool - this tool is installed as plugin to Eclipse. Reads exported configuration and creates jython script. Tool migrates most common resources (like JDBC), but not all. See above page for limitations.

  • Use AdminTask which exports configuration as property file, change it according to your needs and update on target environment.

    wsadmin(.sh/.bat) –lang jython –c “AdminTask.extractConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName my.props'])”

    See Managing environment configurations with properties files using wsadmin scripting
