Which WAS versions can be migrated to v9 using UCD? I know v7 and v8, but what about v6?

The UCD WAS-Configure plugin does not support migrating from WAS 6 to later versions. As you mentioned we support migration for V7, V8 and V8.5.x.

Too bad WAS 6 can't be automated!! But for the rest of you, attached is a good user story of a client that did do the upgrade using UCD.   Quick excerpts here:

“What one senior engineer was able to do with uDeploy, and the WebSphere Application Server plug-in in 3.5 days, would have taken at least eight people and about 1-2 weeks to complete the same task.”

"Reduced total build time for 48 IBM WebSphere cells, including configuration and ensuring consistency between environments, from about 3 months to 6.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) days."

Also, for those that are not UCD clients, did you know you can get a cheap annual license, do the conversion and then stop using it?

Lastly, below are links to two videos (overview and more detailed), also a link to step-by-step instructions.

Short video, migrate to WAS v9

Does UCD work for WebSphere on z/OS as well?  Say, WAS v7.0.0.21 on z/OS?

Yes, UCD does work for WAS on zOS.  Just checking if there is any issue with using UCD for the conversion.
