Migrating from Commerce Server 2007

  • Article

Migrating an ASP.NET site from Microsoft Commerce Server 2007 to Commerce Server 2009 R2 involves migrating your data and Commerce Server schema. In addition, we strongly recommend that you rework your site code to make calls against the Commerce Server Foundation API to take full advantage of Commerce Server 2009 R2 functionality. However, since the Commerce Server 2007 API is still supported in Commerce Server 2009 R2, your site will continue function as before.

To migrate from Commerce Server 2007 to Commerce Server 2009 R2, 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. (Optional) 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.
