Version 8 Feature Focus Session: Upgrading to WebSphere Portal and Web Content Manager Version 8
Successfully upgrading WebSphere Portal and Web Content Manager solutions to the latest release requires careful planning to understand the scope of the effort that is required and an awareness of the tasks involved. Join this Feature Focus session to understand the migration processes in plan to support upgrades from WebSphere Portal and Web Content Manager Version 6.1.5 and Version 7 (last two CF/fixpack releases), to WebSphere Portal and Web Content Manager Version 8. In this session, the IBM configuration architect for Version 8 will present the ‘basics’ behind upgrading to WebSphere Portal and Web Content Manager Version 8.0 as well as the overall architecture, planning, and best practices when planning for release migration activities. The session will also present detail outlining the difference between migrating from a 6.1 environment vs. a 7.0 environment (covering both standalone and managed node cases), and custom code considerations
