Branch Transformation Toolkit provides a set of tools to help you migrate
your toolkit applications developed with version 4.3 of the toolkit to the
new version 5.1 architecture.
The migration tools do the following things for you during a migration:
- Migrate version 4.3 definition files to version 5.1 definition files,
including dse.ini, context definitions, formatter definitions, type definitions,
service definitions, and so on
- Generate the corresponding runtime codes, including business process Java(TM) snippets,
Single Action EJBs, and so on
- Generate version 5.1 tooling artifact such as Graphical Builder definition
files
The migration tools provides graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to help you
migrate the toolkit configuration files, data model, formatter definitions,
server operations, flow processes, and screen flows of your version 4.3 application
to the corresponding components of your version 5.1 application. Furthermore,
the migration tools are designed to be a scalable toolset, so that you can
build your own batch migration applications using a set of APIs. You can also
customize the migration tools for your special needs.
Note: After migration, you should not change the names of the toolkit constructs
such as contexts, formatters, and so on. The names for the constructs are
assigned by the migration tools automatically. If you change the name of a
construct manually after the migration, the migrated application will not
be able to find that construct anymore.
