clientUpgrade command
Use the clientUpgrade command to migrate v6.x and v7 client resources to v8 level resources.
In the process of migrating these resources, the client-resources.xmi file located in the client JAR files is migrated to the latest level. A backup of the client-resources.xmi file is also located in the client JAR file. If this command is not launched against the client EAR files before they are installed on v8, the client EAR files do not operate or install correctly.
cd WAS_HOME/bin clientUpgrade.sh EAR_file [-clientJar client_jar ] [-logFileLocation logFileLocation] [-traceString trace_spec [-traceFile file_name ]]
Supported arguments...

If not specified, the program transforms all client JAR files in the EAR file. -logFileLocation log_file_location Alternate location to store the log output. Optional. -traceString trace_spec -traceFile file_name Gather trace information for IBM Service personnel. Specify a trace_spec of...
