Migrating a WebSphere Application Server memory-to-memory replication or database session to use WebSphere eXtreme Scale session management

You can migrate any previously set memory-to-memory replication session or database session to use WebSphere® eXtreme Scale session management.

Before you begin

For session support for client applications running on WebSphere Application Server in the cluster, WebSphere eXtreme Scale must be installed on top of the WebSphere Application Server node deployments, including the deployment manager node. See Installing WebSphere eXtreme Scale or WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client with WebSphere Application Server.
A WebSphere eXtreme Scale grid environment, that consists of one or more catalog and container servers must be started. For more information, see Starting and stopping stand-alone servers.
If the catalog servers within your catalog service domain have Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) enabled or you want to use SSL for a catalog service domain with SSL supported, then global security must be enabled in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. You require SSL for a catalog server by setting the transportType attribute to SSL-Required in the Server properties file. For more information, see Global security settings.

About this task

The steps in this scenario are for Version 8.5 of the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. This information may vary slightly depending on the version of WebSphere Application Server you are using.

Note: WebSphere eXtreme Scale Version 8.6 is not supported on versions of WebSphere Application Server prior to Version 7.0.
