Keeping Commerce Applications Updated WebSphere Commerce 5.1 to 5.6 Migration Guide

At this point, you should be at the following stage of migration:

You have installed and configured the new WebSphere Commerce test 
environment in WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5.1.1.

Your development WebSphere Commerce instance is migrated to the new 
test environment in WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5.1.1.

Your existing development database has been migrated from DB2 Universal 
Database V7.2.5 to DB2 Universal Database V8.1.

Your development database has been migrated to the new schema for 
WebSphere Commerce V5.6.

Any encrypted data will be re-encrypted using the new algorithm and new 
merchant key (if required).

Before your store will work correctly in the new development environment, there 
are several steps that must be taken to modify your custom code. These steps 
are explained in the following chapter. If you have any custom EJBs you will now 
need to migrate these to WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5.1.1. 

The EJBs in WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 complied to the EJB 1.0 
standard. In WebSphere Commerce V5.6 EJBs should conform to the EJB 1.1 
standard. While WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 is capable of running 
EJBs at either level, it is not recommended that EJBs of different specifications 
are mixed. As a result, any existing EJBs that you may have must be migrated to 
the new specification.

Important: If you dropped any foreign key constraints before performing the 
migration, you must remember to recreate these before testing your migrated 
store.
