This IBM® RedpaperTM publication positions WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0 in today's marketplace and discusses the most common migration methods taking WebSphere Application Server from a V5.1 and V6.x environment to V7.0. This paper helps you to understand the significant changes with respect to migrating to WebSphere Application Server on V7.0. This paper provides several business scenarios that can be implemented through simple customizations. Each scenario addresses a unique requirement that can be mapped with similar business scenarios, as in the following examples: Migrate portions of a configuration from an existing WebSphere Application Server V5.1.x, V6.0.x, or V6.1x to V7.0. Migrate existing configurations and applications to WebSphere Application Server V7.0 by copy and coexistence. Migrate a large network deployment configuration with a large number of applications. This paper has been developed for an experienced WebSphere Application Server design, development, and software engineering audience.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication helps you plan and execute the migration of J2EE applications developed for Oracle WebLogic Server, JBoss, GlassFish, and Apache Tomcat, so that they run on WebSphere® Application Server V7. This book provides detailed information to plan migrations, suggested approaches for developing portable applications, and migration working examples for each of the platforms from which we migrated. It is not our intention to provide a feature-by-feature comparison of these application servers versus WebSphere Application Server V7, or to argue the relative merits of the products, but to produce practical technical advice for developers who have to migrate applications from these vendors to WebSphere Application Server V7. The book is intended as a migration guide for IT specialists who are working on migrating applications written for other application servers to WebSphere Application Server V7.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication explains the capabilities of IBM WebSphere® Application Server Liberty profile (Liberty profile), which is lightweight, easy to install, and fast to use. Liberty profile provides a convenient and capable platform for developing and testing your web and OSGi applications. The Liberty profile server is built by using OSGi technology and concepts. The fit-for-purpose nature of the run time relies on the dynamic behavior that is inherent in the OSGi framework and service registry. As bundles are installed or uninstalled from the framework, their services are automatically added or removed from the service registry. The result is a dynamic, composable run time that can be provisioned with only what your application requires and responds dynamically to configuration changes as your application evolves. This book can help you install, customize, and configure several popular open source technologies that can be deployed effectively with the Liberty profile server. The following popular open source toolkits for the Liberty profile server were selected for this book based on the significant enhancements they provide to the web application development process: Apache Maven Spring Framework Hibernate Jenkins Opscode Chef Arquillian MongoDB In this book, the Todo sample demonstrates the use of multiple open source frameworks or toolkits with the Liberty profile server, including Maven, MongoDB, Spring, JPA, Arquillian, Wicket, and others. The Todo sample is a simple application that can be used to create, update, and delete todo items and todo lists, and put the todo items into a related todo list.

The Migration Manager enables you to migrate configuration content from one production environment to another. The typical use is to migrate configuration content from a development environment to a test environment and then on to production for the Tivoli® process automation engine and its applications, such as IBM® Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB) and IBM Tivoli Service Request Manager®. The goal of migration is to ensure that your production environment fully meets the needs of your users. This IBM Redbooks® publication covers the most common migration use cases with the Migration Manager. Of course, these use cases are only a small subset of the possible migration scenarios that can be performed by the Migration Manager, but they were chosen to be representative of the capabilities of the Migration Manager. In addition to these use cases, the book presents a migration strategy and a comprehensive chapter about troubleshooting possible migration problems when using the Migration Manager. We strongly suggest that you read Chapter 1, "Migration strategy" on page 1 first before reading the other chapters. This chapter will give you a good foundation for all of the migration scenarios covered in the book. This book will be a reference for IT Specialists and IT Architects working on migrating configuration content from one production environment to another using the Migration Manager.
