Phase 2: Customizing the migration tool

The IBM® WebSphere® Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit migration tool is a rule-based tool and provides two set of rules: version 4.3 to version 8.0 rules, and version 5.2 to version 8.0 rules. By default, the migration tool uses the version 5.2 to version 8.0 rules. If you want to migrate from WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 4.3 to version 8.0, you must customize the migration tool to use the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 4.3 to version 8.0 rules.

About this task

WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit version 8.0 provides two sets of rules under the migration tool installation directory: config\52to71 and config\43to71.
