MessageConverter class
The com.ibm.websphere.logging.MessageConverter class provides a method to convert a message ID at the front of a String into either a new message ID or an old message ID. The direction of the conversion is controlled with the conversionType argument.
Use the MessageConverter class with log analysis tools to convert message IDs from earlier versions of WAS into the corresponding message IDs that are used in later releases, or to revert message IDs to an earlier format. See the article Messages for list of message ID mappings.
