188 Keeping Commerce Applications Updated WebSphere Commerce 5.1 to 5.6 Migration Guide
10.2.2 Prepare resources
The WCIM tool will create a ZIP archive with the entire directory structure for the
instance directory, that is all files under the directory
<wcs_home>\instances\<instancename>
Where <wcs_home> is the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 installation directory
and <instancename> is the name of your instance.
If you have WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 customized files and directories in
other locations outside of the instance directory that you wish to have included in
the ZIP archive, you must now copy these files and directories to subdirectories
under the mentioned instance directory
In our example we did not have any customized files or directories.
10.2.3 Disable security on WebSphere Application Server
If WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 security is enabled on your WebSphere
Commerce V5.6 system, you must disable it before migrating your instance by
doing as follows:
1. Open the WebSphere Application Server Administration console for the
WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system.
2. Click Security > Global Security and clear the Enable Security check box
in the right panel
3. Click OK and save the changes
4. Restart the WebSphere Application Server administrative server on the
WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system.
10.3 Database preparation
This section describes the tasks needed to prepare the database for the
WebSphere Commerce V5.6 database migration script. Each task is split up in
subsystems and can be applied in any order, only Section 10.3.1, “Unsent
messages” on page 189 should be considered first.
Note: It is not a strict requirement that you copy customized files to the
instance directory. The WCIM ZIP file is merely a convenient way to copy all
necessary file assets from the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 system to
the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system.
