Migrating Portal on AIX® IBM i Linux Solaris Windows

The following sections describe concepts and instructions for migrating WebSphere® Portal.

Removing custom JVM properties
In WebSphere Portal Version 6.1.x, some custom JVM properties were introduced to improve performance. Since Version 7.0, these custom properties are no longer needed and are unavailable, hence they need to be removed before migrating.
Disabling JCR text search indexing
Before beginning with migration, you need to disable JCR text search indexing. After migration is complete, you need to re-enable JCR text search indexing.
Migrating from WebSphere Portal V6.1.x on a V6.1 application server
When you migrate from IBM WebSphere Portal V6.1.x on IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1, you can migrate either a standalone, single server or a clustered deployment with nodes distributed across multiple servers. New tools and enhanced capabilities provide a more streamlined experience while minimizing required downtime.
Migrating from WebSphere Portal V6.1.x on a V7 application server
When you migrate from IBM WebSphere Portal V6.1.x on IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.0, you can migrate either a standalone, single server or a clustered deployment with nodes distributed across multiple servers. New tools and enhanced capabilities provide a more streamlined experience while minimizing required downtime.
Migrating from WebSphere Portal V7.0
When you migrate from IBM WebSphere Portal V7.0, you can migrate either a standalone, single server or a clustered deployment with nodes distributed across multiple servers. New tools and enhanced capabilities provide a more streamlined experience while minimizing required downtime.
