This document covers the following areas:

•  iWS functionality that cannot be directly migrated to an Oracle supported product as this time

This document covers the most common issues when migrating from iWS to OHS, but cannot cover all possible variations. Customers should ensure the new environment meets their requirements prior to going into production
