Adding rules

About this task

The migration tool enables different types of migration: Java migration, WebSphere® Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit definition XML file migration, dse.ini file migration, and JSP file migration. The migration is implemented according to the configured migration rules.

Two sets of migration rules are provided: version 4.3 to version 8.0 migration rule set and version 5.2 to version 8.0 migration rule set. The rule sets are in the $D(RAD)\plugins\com.ibm.btt.tools.migration.0\config directory. By default, version 5.2 to version 8.0 migration rule set is applied.

The following files are configuration files for the rule-based Migration tool:

If the default rules do not meet your migration requirements, you can add new rules and configure them as the migration rules.

Procedure

To configure your own migration rules, do the following steps:

  1. In IBM® Rational® Application Developer, click Window > Preferences
  2. In the Preferences window, expand the BTT folder, and then select Migration. The Migration page displays in the Preferences window.
  3. In the Migration page, select the migration configuration files that you require.
    • If the default migration rules that are provided by the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit migration tool meet your migration requirements, select the default migration rules.
    • If the default migration rules that are provided by the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit migration tool do not meet your migration requirements, define your own migration rules, and then click Browse to locate your migration configuration file.
    Note: If you do not specify any migration rules in the Migration page, the default migration rules will be used during migration.
