The IBM® WebFacing Tool was a part of IBM WebSphere® Development Studio Client for iSeries® up through Version 7.0. As of Version 7.1, this tool is a part of Host Access Transformation Services. For the purpose of this document, we only refer to IBM WebFacing Tool and not its containing product.
This information explains how to migrate your WebFacing projects from previous versions of the IBM WebFacing Tool. Migration is supported from V5.1.2 or later.
Migration is required most often because of a change in the underlying technology from one release to another. For example, new standards in Web application directory structure may require reorganization of your projects from one release to another.
In general, migration is seamless and transparent. All you need to do is use your existing workspace, and continue working with your projects with the new software version.
In some special cases related to customization, you might need to do extra manual steps. This information is documented as a part of this migration guide.
