Migrating IBM Websphere Commerce Version 7 Feature Pack 8 Management Center
If you have customized Management Center in the LOBTools project in your
IBM Websphere Commerce Version 7 development environment, you will need to follow the procedure below to
re-apply your customizations on HCL Commerce Version 9.1.
LOBTools is a web module, and your customization in IBM Websphere Commerce Version 7
might have modified existing files which are updated by HCL Commerce Version 9. Therefore,
migrating Management Center will need to be performed carefully without overwriting the
existing files.
Procedure

LOBToolscustomizations made for IBM Websphere Commerce Version 7, and understand what changes you have made to each file. - For all files and directories that you created as part of your Management Center customization for IBM Websphere Commerce Version 7, re-create them in the same location in your HCL Commerce Version 9.1 environment.
- For all files that you modified as part of your Management Center customization for IBM Websphere Commerce Version 7, re-apply the customization code changes in your HCL Commerce Version 9.1 environment. You should apply the customization changes carefully to avoid typos and mistakes, and ensure that you avoid the direct copying and replacement of files.
- Restart your HCL Commerce server.
- Test your migrated Management Center to ensure that your customizations are working as expected.
