VisualAge Generator to Enterprise Generation Language Migration Guide
The wizard described in Setting up the Stage 2 VAGen migration file provides the option to save your preferences in a .vgmig
file. If you select the Migrate now box in the wizard, then
Stage 2 migration starts when you click the Finish button in the
wizard. If you did not select the Migrate now box in the
wizard, when you are ready to run Stage 2 migration using your saved
.vgmig file, do the following:
- From the EGL perspective's Navigator pane, expand the project
containing the Stage 2 preferences file by right-clicking on the +
symbol next to the project name.
- Right click on the preferences file to get the context menu.
- Click on Start Migration.
Stage 2 migration starts and converts the External Source Format for your
specified migration sets to EGL source and stores the EGL source in the
migration database.
If you selected either Import into workspace or Save migrated
files to temporary directory, Stage 3 automatically starts after Stage 2
completes. After Stage 3, the migration tool automatically starts a
refresh of the workspace. The refresh step can take some time,
particularly if there is a large number of parts. When the refresh step
is complete, a pop-up window appears telling you that migration is
complete. Be sure to wait for the pop-up window.
When migration and the refresh step are complete, the following outputs
will be available:
-
The Stage 2 migration log file. The log file is in the directory you
specified as the Log File location. The log file contains information
about what parts were migrated and any informational, warning, or error
messages that occurred during Stage 2 migration.
- The "to do" list log file for the migration set. This "to do" list
file is created at the beginning of Stage 3 and contains a consolidated list
of the messages produced by Stage 2 that might require you to perform
additional tasks to complete the migration. The "to do" list is
somewhat similar to the VisualAge Generator generation messages in that the
messages for each generatable part and its associates are listed as a
group. If a part has messages and is an associate of several programs,
the messages are listed once for each program. The "to do" list differs
from the VisualAge Generator generation messages in that messages for unused,
nongeneratable parts are listed by project, package, and file name at the end
of the "to do" list. The "to do" list is placed in the same directory
as the Stage 2 migration log file.
-
If you selected Import into workspace, then Stage 3 automatically
starts and creates the EGL projects, source folders, packages, and EGL files
that are needed for your migration set. The Stage 3 tool also imports
the projects into your workspace and rebuilds the projects so that EGL
validation is run.
-
If you selected Save migrated files to temporary directory, Stage 3
automatically starts and creates the EGL projects, source folders, packages,
and EGL files that are needed for your migration set. The Stage 3 tool
places these projects in the temporary directory you specified. The
Stage 3 migration tool appends the VAGen version name to the project name when
creating the projects in the temporary directory. This enables you to
migrate multiple versions of a project at one time for later import into your
workspace.
