VisualAge Generator to Enterprise Generation Language Migration Guide
To import the External Source Format file into WebSphere Studio, do the
following:
- Using the EGL perspective, in the Navigator view, select the EGL package
in which to put the resulting EGL file.
- Right-click the package. From the context menu, select
Import.
- Select VAGen External Source Format File and select
Next.
- In the Input File Name field, enter the name of the External
Source Format file you want to import.
- In the Source Folder field, enter the name of the project and
source folder in which to put the EGL file. (For example,
MyProject\EGLSource)
- In the Package Name field, enter the name of the package to be
used in the package statement within the EGL file. (For example,
my.pkg)
-
In the EGL File Name field, enter the name of the EGL file that
will be created from your External Source Format file. By default, the
EGL file name will be the same as the External Source Format file, but with
the .egl file extension. See Overview of Single File Migration for information about how the migration tool uses the
Separate parts into EGL files preference and the type of parts in
the External Source Format file to determine what files to create during
migration in single file mode.
-
In the Log File Location field, enter the drive and directory where
the migration log file is to be placed. In the Log File Name
field, enter the name for the migration log file. The Log File Name
defaults to match the name of the External Source Format file that you
specified. The migration log file contains any messages written during
migration.
- Click Finish. If the file name you specified in the EGL
File Name field already exists in the container you specified in the Container
field, you are prompted to append or overwrite to the file.
- When the migration completes, you should notice the following:
-
One or more EGL files should be listed in the project, source folder, and
package that you specified. See Overview of Single File Migration for information about how migration tool uses the Separate
parts into EGL files preference and the type of parts in the External
Source Format file to determine what files to create during migration in
single file mode.
- Any error messages appear in a pop-up window. If you did not
specify a Log File Location, you can use the Save to File button
to save the messages in a file. Be sure to close the pop-up
window.
-
Select the project and then select Project --> Rebuild
Project. This causes validation to run so that the Tasks list
reflects the most current messages for all files in the project.
