IBM WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit, Version 7.1

Phase 3: Migrating your applications

Phase 3 of the migration process involves the migration of your applications with the migration tool.

Procedure

To migrate your applications from WebSphere® Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 5.2 to WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1, do the following steps:

  1. Replace the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 5.2 JAR files with WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1 JAR files, and change the build path of the project to the new JAR files.
  2. Import the application that you want to migrate to the workspace as a project, and configure the migration tool. The migration tool migrates the application directly based on the original project.
  3. Migrate the dse.ini configuration file to the btt.xml configuration file. In WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 5.2, the configuration file is dse.ini, but in WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1, the dse.ini configuration file has been renamed as btt.xml.
  4. Migrate the definition files of global definition files and self-defined operation and processor.
  5. Migrate the business logic. In WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1, the architecture is refined, and some components are re-designed; therefore, the package names, class names, and some APIs in WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1 are different from those in WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 5.2. However, the functions are still compatible. The migration tool will automatically migrate these differences.
  6. Manually migrate the components that cannot be completely migrated by the migration tool. Usually, failure to migrate components with the migration tool are caused by errors. For information how to fix the errors, refer to the Phase 4: Adding the business logic and fixing errors topic.
