  • Subject: RE: WebSphere V3.0.2 to V3.5 is a full install

This is from IBM's V3.0.2 to V3.5 Migration document
(http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/websphere/wsappserver
/docs/35Migration.html awfully dang long URL, don't ya' think). It clearly
shows that you have to install V3.5 when migrating from V3.0.2. I think this
is the solid response you were looking for.

<IBM docs snip>

What does full migration require?


1. Ensure you have the latest Version 3.0.2.x PTFs loaded
2. Download and install the IBM supplied migration utilities
3. Save the administration repository
4. Export the configuration information from the administration repository.
This step requires that Version 3.0.2.x administration server is running.
5. Shut down WebSphere and delete Version 3.0.2.x
6. Install Version 3.5 and apply the latest 3.5 PTFs

</IBM docs snip>


>>>>The $64,000 question:  Is WebSphere 3.5 a separate install or is it
available via PTF?  Some people around here think you can take 3.0.2 to 3.5
with just a group PTF (SF99142), but I believe it's a separate program on
its own CD, and then to upgrade it to 3.5.3 you use the SF99142 PTF.  IBM's
docs are vague at best in regard to WebSphere.  A solid response to this
question would be appreciated - to stop the bickering.  And it would be nice
if I'm right.  Thanks in advance!
