Preparing to migrate your HCL Commerce Version 9.1 production database
Now that you have migrated your development environment and deployed your containers in HCL Commerce+, you can now build and deploy your customizations, and migrate your HCL Commerce Version 9.1 database to HCL Commerce+.
Migrating the production database is broken up into two parts. First, you back up and restore your HCL Commerce Version 9.1 production database to your HCL Commerce+ environment, where you can test your container technology with your HCL Commerce Version 9.1 production database. After your testing is complete, you can execute the second part of the migration, which is where you put your HCL Commerce Version 9.1 live store in maintenance mode, and point your HCL Commerce+ environment to your live HCL Commerce Version 9.1 database, then migrate that database.
