IBM® WebSphere® Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1 provides a migration tool to help you migrate the applications that you developed with pervious versions of the toolkit to the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1 architecture.
From WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 5.2 to WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1, there are API changes to the same functions. It is time-consuming to replace the old API calls with the new ones. The code migration function of the migration tool enables Java and JSP code to be migrated automatically.
The dse.ini file contains most of the configurations for the components of WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 5.2. New components have been added in later versions of WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit. In WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1, the dse.ini file has been reorganized and renamed as btt.xml. The migration tool helps you to migrate the dse.ini file to the btt.xml file.
In WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit, contexts, formatters, services, data elements, and operations are externalized into XML files. Because the referenced package names and class names of these XML files are different in different versions of WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit, the migration tool automatically changes the package names and class names.
After you run the migration tool, a report is generated to record the tasks that the migration tool performed. The migration report includes information on files that have been migrated by the tool and files that must be migrated manually.
