IBM WebSphere Application Server Migration Toolkit 3.5.3

The IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Migration Toolkit is a suite of tools and knowledge collections that enables your organization to quickly and cost-effectively migrate to WebSphere Application Server V7, V8, or V8.5, whether from a previous version of WebSphere Application Server or competitive application servers including Apache Tomcat Server, JBoss Application Server, Oracle Application Server, and Oracle® WebLogic Server. Learn more through a free multimedia educational module, IBM Education Assistant.

Currently the Application Migration Tool - WebSphere Version to Version is available here through Eclipse Marketplace. Application Migration Tools for migrating applications from competitive application servers are available at the products web site free of charge.

The Application Migration Tool - WebSphere Version to Version enables organizations deploying WebSphere Application Server V7, V8, or V8.5 to more easily migrate applications from WebSphere Application Server V5.1, V6, V6.1 or V7. Upgrading to a more recent version of WebSphere Application Server is of course less time-consuming than migrating from another application server, given that IBM has made significant investments in upward compatibility, configuration, and management process upgrades, as well as API preservation and consistency between versions. However, in some cases, applications must be changed in order to support or exploit new levels of industry standard specifications delivered with new versions of WebSphere Application Server. The Application Migration Tool enables you to quickly and easily identify and implement any application changes required when upgrading to WebSphere Application Server V7, V8, or V8.5.
