WebSphere Commerce enterprise bean conversion tool
The WebSphere Commerce enterprise bean conversion tool is a WebSphere Commerce-specific tool that allows you to develop enterprise beans using a DB2 or cloudscape development database for use on a different target production database. Overall, there are two scenarios in which the tool is used:
- If the target production environment runs on the i5/OS operating system
- If the target production database is an Oracle database while the development machines use local DB2 or Cloudscape databases
With the help of the enterprise bean conversion tool, the meta-data for the enterprise beans are converted to the format appropriate for the target database, and the deployed code is generated using this new meta-data. For step-by-step details on how to use this tool, refer to Packaging your module with conversion.
