Intelligent Management: VEUpgrade command

Use the VEUpgrade command to migrate product configuration data from an existing WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise Version 6.1.0.5, Version 6.1.1, or Version 7.0 cell to a new Intelligent Management Version 8.5 cell.

Location

Run the command from the target_profile_root/bin directory.

Parameters

-userID: Specifies the administrative user name for authentication if security is enabled on the workstation. Because the migration utility does not check for the -userID parameter, you must specify it or the migration process fails. (Required)
-password: Specifies the administrative password for authentication if security is enabled on the workstation. Because the migration utility does not check for the -password parameter, you must specify it or the migration process fails. (Required)
-sourceWasHome: Specifies the install_root directory of the existing product installations from which the configuration is migrated. (Required)
-sourceProfilePath: Specifies the fully qualified path of the existing profile from which the configuration is migrated. (Required)
-targetProfilePath: Specifies the fully qualified path to the target profile. (Required)
-traceLevel: Specifies the trace level for generating diagnostic messages. (Optional)
-traceDir: Specifies the directory of the XDUpgrade.log and XDUpgrade.trace files. The default directory is app_server_root/logs. (Optional)
