As part of migration to a WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance session, you should take
note of your previous configuration settings in WebSphere Application
Server administrative console.
When migrating to a WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance session, the configuration settings have to reflect what you already
had configured for your database or memory-to-memory session.
About this task
There are specific settings in
WebSphere Application
Server administrative console
that you should take note of. You will need these values when updating
the
splicer.properties file. The steps in this
procedure 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 Client Version 8.6 is not supported on versions of WebSphere Application
Server prior to Version 7.0.
