VisualAge Generator to Enterprise Generation Language Migration Guide
When you installed the Stage 1 migration tool on VisualAge Smalltalk, the
installation process created a sample preferences file called
MigPreferences.xml in the directory
VisualAge-Smalltalk-installation-directory\image. You should
make a copy of the MigPreferences.xml file for backup purposes before
you modify any preferences.
The VisualAge Generator to EGL migration tool on Smalltalk provides a GUI
editor to assist you in specifying your Stage 1 migration preferences.
You can start the Stage 1 preferences editor in either of two ways:
- From the System Transcript, select EGL Migration Tools ->
Preferences Editor. The EGL Migration Preferences Editor
appears. The preferences editor defaults to the last preferences file
that you modified (or to the MigPreferences.xml file that is shipped
with the Stage 1 tool if you have never modified preferences before).
If you need to point to a different preferences file, click the
Open... button.
- From the System Transcript, select EGL Migration Tools -> Migration
Driver. In the Migration File Preference section,
specify a file name for your preferences file and then click
Edit. The EGL Migration Preferences Editor appears.
The advantage of this technique is that after you finish modifying the
preferences file, you are positioned to run the Stage 1 migration tool.
Regardless of which technique you use, the EGL Migration Preferences Editor
enables you to set preferences that control the Stage 1 migration tool.
When you are finished editing the preferences, click the Save or
Save As... button, and then close the
editor.
- Note:
- For preferences that require a drive and directory, you can specify the
information in either of two ways:
- an absolute path. For example: d:\tempMig\MySystem\
- a relative path. In this case the path is relative to the working
directory. For example:
- .\tempMig\Systems results in an absolute path of
VisualAge-Smalltalk-installation-directory\image\tempMig\MySystem
- ..\tempMig\MySystem results in an absolute path of
VisualAge-Smalltalk-installation-directory\tempMig\MySystem
The preferences you can modify are described in the following sections,
based on the page within the GUI in which the preference appears:
- Build Plans
- Mapping
-
Renaming
- Execution
