The migration output includes log files. You can also optionally enable tracing to the appropriate
level and select the location for the trace file. The trace file destination can be a different location
from the Migration output location.

Click Next.

9)Target Profile

If you have not created a target profile, you can ask the migration wizard to create the target profile. In
our case we have already created the target profile using PMT and hence we just proceed by selecting the
target profile from the list. Note that the target profile name can be the same as the source profile name.
10)Application migration options
By default Migration tool will Install the application once we complete application migration.
11)Control the port values that are to be assigned to the target profile.
By default, the migration wizard increments the port number and tries again when it encounters a port
number conflict.

12)Additional Migration options

By selecting “Migrate object types to support script compatibility” we ask the migration tool to bring
the security configuration from WAS 7.0 profile to WAS 8.0 profile. This means that the private keys and
digital certificates will be copied from the source profile to the target profile. If this option is not selected,
the default security configuration of WAS 8.0 profile is used.
13)Review the summary information and then we click Migrate button to proceed.

information in the text area.
