Upgrading but not migrating a project

You can upgrade the adapter from an earlier version, to version 7.5.0.3 while choosing not to migrate the adapter project artifacts.

Running the migration wizard without selecting any adapter artifacts installs and upgrades your adapter. As the artifacts are not migrated, your applications cannot take advantage of the features and capabilities that exist in version 7.5.0.3 of the adapter.


Procedure

  1. Import the PI (project interchange) file into the workspace.

  2. When projects are created in an earlier version of IBM Integration Designer, the Workspace Migration wizard starts automatically and selects the projects to migrate. Follow the wizard and complete the workspace migration. See http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v7r5m1/topic/com.ibm.wbpm.wid.imuc.doc/topics/tmigsrcart.html.

  3. In the Java™ EE perspective, right-click the project name and click Migrate connector project. The Adapter Migration wizard is displayed.

  4. In the Select Projects window, clear the dependent artifact projects, and click Next. A warning window is displayed with the message, “The properties that are not supported in the version of the target adapter will be removed during the migration.”

  5. Click OK.

  6. In the Review Changes window, review the migration changes that occur during updating the project. To view the details, expand each node by clicking the + sign.

  7. To complete the migration:

    • Click Finish.

    • If the files that need to be updated during migration are in read-only mode, you will be unable to click on the Finish button. To view these files, click Next. The Update Read-only files window displays the read-only files. To update these files and continue with the migration, click Finish. To exit the wizard without migrating the adapter, click Cancel.
