Migrating applications using previous adapter levels

Applications using a previous level of adapter can be quickly migrated to the current level with a utility.

A utility can quickly migrate your applications using a previous adapter level to the current level. It is a two-step process that replaces the previous version of the RAR file in a module with the current version and then migrates the business data in the module itself. Read the "Migrating to version <version number>" information; for example, "Migrating to version 6.1.0". You will find this section in the information for each adapter; it is nested beneath the "Planning for adapter implementation" section.
