Migration of an existing workspace

  1. When you start Host Access Transformation Services (Start > Programs > IBM Software Development Platform > Host Access Transformation Services), you are prompted to specify which workspace to use for the session. Specify the directory location of your workspace (V5.1.2 or later) in this window.
    Note: Once you open an existing workspace with a newer version of the product, changes will take place in your projects that will prevent you from opening these workspaces in an older version of the product. It is recommended that you backup your existing workspace. Or alternatively, create project interchange files and import them into the new product. To do so, go to File > Import.... In the resulting Import dialog, expand Other and select Project Interchange.
  2. When prompted to confirm that you want to convert to the new workspace format, click OK.

A progress indicator confirms that your projects are being automatically migrated. During workspace migration, you might see the following message:

Could not restore workbench layout. Reason: Problems occurred restoring workbench.

The error messages have no impact on the successful migration of the workspace. After workspace migration is complete, you can manually reset the perspective by clicking Window > Reset Perspective.

Once your workspace migration has been completed you will need to migrate individual WebFacing projects. To do this, open the WebFacing perspective (if it is not already open) by going to WindowOpen PerspectiveOther and selecting WebFacing from the Open Perspective wizard. Once the WebFacing Project Explorer view is open within the WebFacing perspective, right click on the project that you want to migrate and select MigrateWebFacing Project.
