You can migrate an existing Version 6.1 WS-Notification
configuration to run in a WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0 environment.
Before you begin
This topic assumes that you have the following configuration:
- An existing server or cluster installation of WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 that is ready for migration,
including at least one WS-Notification service, service point, and
underlying service integration bus.
- Existing subscriptions with associated messages pending notification.
- Existing operational WS-Notification client and web service applications
that are known to transmit and receive notifications through the existing
Version 6.1 WS-Notification service.
About this task
When you migrate your system from WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 to Version 7.0, any existing WS-Notification
configuration (for example WS-Notification services, service points,
administered subscribers), and the associated service integration
bus resources (for example inbound services and endpoint listeners)
are automatically migrated to valid configuration elements within
the new installation. The services and service points are migrated
to Version 6.1 WS-Notification services and service points, the endpoint
URLs for the service points are unchanged, and the functions supported
are exactly the same as in WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1. For example, reliable
notification is not possible with Version 6.1 WS-Notification services
and service points.
Any messages pending notification are delivered
following the update and server startup sequence.
Procedure
- Migrate your product configuration
from WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 to Version 7.0.
- Check that notifications are being published and consumed
correctly in your migrated system.
Initiate the program,
process, or application that includes the WS-Notification client (or
clients), and that causes notifications to be requested and transmitted.
Results
The WS-Notification services and resources are migrated to
Version 6.1 WS-Notification services and resources that run under WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0. Any messages pending
notification are delivered.
