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 Derby development database for use on a different target production database. Use the enterprise bean conversion tool when the target production database is an Oracle database while the development machines use local DB2 or Derby databases
With the help of the enterprise bean conversion tool, the metadata 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 Package the module with conversion.
