Cloud Migration Tool
The cloud migration tool scans for known migration issues that you might encounter when you move applications to a cloud platform. For more information, see Cloud migration rules.
WebSphere Application Server Version Migration Tool
The version-to-version migration tool scans for known issues in applications being migrated from WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 8.0, or 8.5.5 to WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.5 or 9.0. It also scans for known issues in applications being migrated from WebSphere Application Server traditional to Liberty. See the following sections for rules that support WebSphere version-to-version migration:
Third-party migration tools
The third-party application migration tools scan for known issues in applications that are migrated from WebLogic Server, Oracle Application Server, JBoss Application Server, or Apache Tomcat to WebSphere Application Server. Where possible, a quick fix is provided to change your code to a more portable solution. See the following sections for supported rules and quick fixes for your third-party application server:
- WebLogic Server rules and quick fixes
- JBoss Application Server rules and quick fixes
- Oracle Application Server rules and quick fixes
- Apache Tomcat rules and quick fixes
You can use the quick fix preview support in the migration tools to help you decide if you want to accept the suggested code change. Also, view the help information provided with the rules to decide if you want to run the quick fix. Always make a backup copy of your source code before you start a migration.
For some rules, the scan detects code that requires design changes and code rewrites. The tools highlight these problem areas but do not provide a quick fix.
The Tomcat configuration migration tool migrates a subset of the server configuration and application configuration from Apache Tomcat to Liberty. For information about which configuration elements are migrated, see Migrated Apache Tomcat configuration elements.
Getting assistance
If you have entitlement to open a support case for WebSphere Application Server or Liberty, you can also open a customer problem report.
As new rules and quick fixes are available, updates are made available on the Eclipse Marketplace.
