This topic describe steps to migrate projects targeted to an Apache
Tomcat server from IBM® Rational® Software Development Platform V6.0.x to
a V7.0.x workbench.
Backward compatibility restrictions- After migrating the project targeting a Tomcat server from IBM Rational Software
Development Platform V6.0.x to V7.0.x, the tools does not support backward
compatibility of the migrated project from V7.0.x to V6.0.x
Migration stepsTo 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:
- 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:
- In the IBM Rational Software Development Platform v7.0.x workspace,
select .
- 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.
- 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.
