After R2 installation & configuration on existing CS server, if you try to open the application, you may get exceptions. One of the reason is that in R2, there are many changes happen to the existing API namespaces. This leads to ample amount of work for the developer if you want to migrate to the new R2 platform. If you are running the web parts provided by commerce server then your migration is simple and easy. To do this, you need to execute “SharePoint Commerce Services Configuration wizard” and below steps will help you to do easy migration.
