To migrate a J2EE project targeted to a Tomcat server from an IBM Rational Software Development Platform V6.0.x to V7.0.x, complete the following steps:

  1. Verify your workspace contains an installed runtime environment entry for the Apache Tomcat and the matching version level targeting your migrating project by completing the following steps:
    1. In the IBM Rational Software Development Platform v7.0.x workspace, select Window > Preferences > Server > Installed Runtimes.
    2. On the right-pane of the Installed Server Runtime Environments page and under the Installed server runtimes list, verify there is an Apache Tomcat entry. If there is no Apache Tomcat entry, see the Defining the installed server runtime environments topic for adding an installed runtime environment.
  2. Select one of the following options to migrate your J2EE projects from V6.0.x to V7.0:
    • Migrating projects imported using Project Interchange: Projects exported from V6.0.x and imported into V7.0 using the Project Interchange feature are automatically migrated to V7.0.
    • Migrating projects loaded from a SCM (source code management) system: Projects from V6.0.x that exist in a SCM system are automatically migrated to V7.0 when they are loaded into V7.0.
    • Migrating a workspace on the same computer: When you are ready to permanently migrate your V6.0 to a V7.0 workspace on the same computer, start the V7.0 product with your old workspace. In this case, the settings in your Installed Runtimes (Window > Preferences > Installed Runtimes) are also preserved during the migration. See Migrating workspaces and projects from V6.0.x topic for details.
