If you have business process applications developed for previous versions of the portal, make changes to the business process and portlets.

This topic does not apply to System i5.

 

Migrate business processes

Changes that apply to business processes to migrate them to WebSphere Portal V6.0 are described in the WebSphere Business Process Management information center. In particular, read the following topics for migrating business processes:

• Migration overview

• Migrating source artifacts to WebSphere Integration Developer from WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition

 

Migrate custom pages

If you have created custom pages to use in place of the default pages to contain the task list and task definition pages, verify the following configuration before running the WebSphere Portal migration:

• Make sure the task list or task definition pages have already been placed on the custom pages.

• Make sure the custom pages are configured correctly.
  • If you use a custom page to contain the task list, change the location of the task list.

  • If you use a custom page to contain task definition pages, configure the pages and portlets for process integration.

• Make sure the default pages created by the action-setup-process-integration configuration task have been deleted.

 

Migrate portlets

Task portlets and business process portlets that use the generic client APIs provided by WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation V5.1 need to be changed. There is a new version of the Generic EJB API that uses DataObjects as its message format. This is described in detail in the WebSphere Integration Developer information center.

The JNDI name of the old Generic EJBs that takes WSIFMessage objects are:

    GenericProcessChoreographerEJB
    JNDI Name: com/ibm/bpe/api/BusinessProcessHome     Interface: com.ibm.bpe.api.BusinessProcess 
    TaskManagerEJB
    JNDI Name: com/ibm/task/api/TaskManagerHome     Interface: com.ibm.task.api.TaskManager 

The V6.0 JNDI names of these Generic EJBs are:

    GenericBusinessFlowManagerEJB
    JNDI Name: com/ibm/bpe/api/BusinessFlowManagerHome     Interface: com.ibm.bpe.api.BusinessFlowManager 
    HumanTaskManagerEJB
    JNDI Name: com/ibm/task/api/HumanTaskManagerHome     Interface: com.ibm.task.api.HumanTaskManager 

When you have completed updating and testing the migrated portlets, copy them to a location that is available for the migration tasks.
