Chapter 3. Preparing the Migration Process

3.1 Preparation Overview

Table 12 shows an overview of a step-by-step preparation for the migration to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business. We recommend you execute the listed preparation tasks in the order presented. Depending on your company's resources and environment, not all may be relevant to you.


Table 12: Preparations Roadmap

Table 13 below provides an overview about the tools we used for some of the preparation steps listed in Table 12 above. The Provided By column indicates LAN Server if the tool mentioned is part of your OS/2 LAN Server product; otherwise, it can be found on the CD-ROM accompanying this redbook. It is also available within the RBSAMPLE.ZIP file on the OS/2 Warp Server for e-business CD-ROM (see Appendix B. LAN Server Management Tools (LSMT) for more information).

Some of these tools, for example, BACKDASD, are further described in the related chapter; whereas the description of others, such as LSMT, was moved to the appendix.
