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 4.3 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 Java code migration function of the migration tool enables Java code to be migrated automatically.
The dse.ini file contains most of the configurations for all of the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit components. In WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 7.1, the dse.ini definition file has been converted to the btt.xml definition file. The migration tool helps you to migrate this 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.
The migration tool is rule-based, which means that the migration depends on the given rules. You can change the rules according your migration requirements.
