Using the migration tools

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:

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.
