Programming model extension migration

This product edition contains several programming model extensions (PMEs) that previously were available only by obtaining a different product edition.

This article describes the movement of a subset of PMEs to WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 from the following products:
  • [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] WebSphere Application Server Enterprise Edition Version 5.0.x
  • WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation Version 5.1.x
  • WebSphere Process Server for Multiplatforms Version 6

Overview of PME migration

The migration of PME services to WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 is handled on an individual basis. For PME services that are not supported in WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1, all configuration information is removed. For PME services that are supported in WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1, the configuration from the previous release environment overwrites the values in the new release.

Validating PMEs

As part of application installation, both during migration and outside of migration, applications are validated to ensure that they only use resources for services that are supported by WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1. Any application that uses a resource for a service that is not supported by WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 will not work correctly, and an error will be issued indicating that the application cannot be installed.

Running a mixed-node environment

When running in a mixed-node environment such as a WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 deployment manager managing WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation Version 5.1.x nodes, the first syncNode performed by the system downloads a configuration from the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 deployment manager to the WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation Version 5.1.x nodes. Therefore, any PME service that is not supported by WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 will be rendered inoperable on the WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation Version 5.1.x node.
