If you have the source code for your applications, I would suggest downloading IBM's migration toolkit and using it to see what issues you will have.

As for the actual migration, the directions in the InfoCenter have worked pretty well for us. If you've done anything more than basic configuration changes, you'll want to double-check the values after the migration.
If your application would support it, I'd recommend looking at a second migration to WAS 8.5. For our applications and configuration, it's proving to be very stable and fast.

Subject: [WEB400] WAS Upgrade 5.1 Express to 7.0 Express
We are working on upgrading our system from V5R4 to 7.1, and before we can do that we need to upgrade WAS. We have never tried to upgrade WAS before, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice or suggestions on things we need to look for, especially when it comes to migrating our applications.
Thanks,
Mark
