Performing a batch migration

BTT provides you the batch migration function to help you migrate several of your applications at once.

To perform a batch migration, do the following:

  1. From the WebSphere® Integration Developer menu, select File > New > Other.
    Select File-New-Others
  2. In the dialog box that pops up, expand Branch Transformation Toolkit > BTT Batch Migration, and then click Next.

    Select BTT Batch Migration

  3. In the BTT Application Project Creating Wizard, select the batch description file, which contains URLs of ear file and dse.ini file. Below is a sample of the batch description file:

    C:\BTT\migration\SampleApplication.ear

    C:\BTT\migration\DSE_SampleApplicationWeb\dse\server\dse.ini

    Select the batch description file.

    Note: The migration tool can only migrate server-side application components. Make sure that the dse.ini file you selected is the server-side one.
  4. Click Finish.
After you create the migration projects in batch, you will find that all the BTT version 4.3 related definition files are copied and the projects of EAR, EJB, Web and Services are also created for every ear file and dse.ini file.

The wizard also migrates your version 4.3 dse.ini file into that of version 5.2, and copies the version 5.2 dse.ini file into the 5.2 definitions folder of your application migration project.

The wizard migrates the following files from version 4.3 to version 5.2:
  • dsedata.xml
  • dsetype.xml
  • dsectxt.xml
  • dsefmts.xml
  • dsesrvce.xml
