Migration Guide


Moving applications from VisualAge Standard

If you developed applications using VisualAge Standard, you must complete several steps to move your code to a Version 5.5 library:

  1. Generate archival code for your applications into new applications.

    Refer to Version 3.0 (or Versions 1.0 or 2.0) documentation to learn how to generate archival code.

  2. File out the original (runtime) applications and the new archival applications.

    Again, refer to Version 3.0 or earlier documentation for information on filing out code.

  3. File the applications into a Version 5.5 development image.

    The chapter "Managing your VisualAge application" in the VisualAge User's Guide explains how to file the code into a Version 5.5 development image.

  4. Generate runtime code for the applications as described in Generating runtime code.
  5. Run the migration tool as described in Using the migration tool.
  6. Version and release the classes; then version the applications.

    The IBM Smalltalk User's Guide provides extensive information on versioning and releasing.
