  • Article

Migration to Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 R2 is supported for ASP.NET-based sites only. Migration of ASP-based sites is not supported. For Commerce Server 2000 sites, you can use the Commerce Server Upgrade Wizard to migrate your data to Commerce Server 2009 R2, however, your site code will require significant rework.

Migrating an ASP.NET site from Microsoft Commerce Server 2000 or 2002 to Commerce Server 2009 R2 involves migrating your data and Commerce Server schema, and reworking your site code to make calls against the Commerce Server 2009 R2 API.

To migrate from Commerce Server 2000 or Commerce Server 2002 to Commerce Server 2009 R2, you must complete the following tasks:

  1. Review information in Planning Your Commerce Server Site Migration.

  2. Back up your sites and set up your environment, as described in Preparing for Commerce Server Migration.

  3. Migrate site data and resources, as described in Migrate Data Warehouse Resources and Migrate Data and Update Commerce Server Schema.

  4. Update your site code to use the Commerce Server Foundation API and the Commerce Server 2009 R2 assemblies, as described in Update Site Code for the Foundation API.

  5. Recompile your site code and verify that the site functions properly on Commerce Server 2009 R2.
