Migration considerations for WebSphere Business Integration adapters
By migrating to WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software Version 7.5.0.3, you have an adapter that is compliant with the Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (JEE) Connector Architecture (JCA) and designed specifically for service-oriented architecture.
Supported interfaces
The following are the interfaces supported for migrating from WBI SAP Adapter to JCA SAP Adapter.
- Simple BAPI
- BAPI Transaction
- ALE
- HDR
- ABAP Extension
Application artifacts
Before running the adapter migration wizard, use the WebSphere InterChange Server migration wizard to generate the application artifacts for the WebSphere Business Integration adapter, including the business objects, maps, and collaborations. Then you can run the adapter migration wizard to update the adapter-specific artifacts such as the schemas and service definition files (.import, .export, and .wsdl) so that they are suitably converted into a format that is compliant with JCA.
Run the migration wizard in a test environment first
Because migrating from a WebSphere Business Integration adapter to WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software might require changes to the applications that use Version 7.5.0.3 of WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software, always perform the migration in a development environment first and test your applications before deploying the application to a production environment.
