Migrating a Version 6.1 WS-Notification configuration from WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 to Version 7.0 or later

You can migrate an existing Version 6.1 WS-Notification configuration to run in a WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0 or later 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 or later, 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.

Note: For network deployment scenarios where a deployment manager is upgraded to WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 or later before its federated servers, the federated servers are not available as bus members for Version 7.0 WS-Notification service points.

Procedure

  1. Migrate your product configuration from WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 to Version 7.0 or later.
  2. 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 or later. Any messages pending notification are delivered.
