The migration tool cannot perform all the tasks that are
involved in migrating from
IBM® WebSphere® Multichannel Bank
Transformation Toolkit version
5.2 to
IBM WebSphere Multichannel Bank
Transformation Toolkit version
7.1. You
must perform the migration of the following items manually:
- Some new features in WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1, such
as Web 2.0, Rich Client, and so on. The base functionality of the
migration tool only migrates the existing applications to WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1 and
checks that they can run in WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1. You
must redesign your applications and implement them manually.
- The existing services that are out of the scope of WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1. The
services that are in the WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 5.2 application
system are not included in the migration tool; therefore, you migrate
them manually.
- The server-side event mechanism of WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1 has
changed. You can define event related migration rules in WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1, but
for complicated scenarios that migration rules cannot handle, you
must migrate them manually.
- The communication service access uses the JCA connector in WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1. You
must modify it manually.
- The WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 5.2 invoker.
The invoker is a hard coded EJB invocation framework. WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1 provides
a common invocation framework for POJO, EJB, Web services, and JMS.
These two frameworks are entirely different. The API usage and configuration
are also entirely different. The EJB invocation information that is
defined in the resource bundle file can be mapped to the EJB invoker
definition in the file invoker.xml. The WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1 invoker
is decoupled with WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit context
and formatter. The usage of WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1 invoker
is simple and flexible compared with the usage of the WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 5.2 invoker.
For detailed information on the WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1, see
the Invoker topic.
