Setting the migration tool

Before you migrate your application by using the migration tool, you must do the following things:
  1. Package the server side application into jar files.
  2. Copy the jar files into the migration tool plug-in directory under runtime folder.
  3. Modify plug-in.xml to include the jars as the runtime library. For example:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <plugin
    id="com.ibm.btt.tools.migration"
    name="BTT Migration Tool Plug-in"
    version="1.0.0"
    provider-name="IBM"
    class="com.ibm.btt.tools.migration.BTTMigrationPlugin">
    
    <runtime>
        <library name="bttmigration.jar">
            <export name="*"/>
        </library> 
    
        <library name="runtime/bttstrutstool.jar"/>
    
        <library name="runtime/dseb.jar"/>
        <library name="runtime/dseflp.jar"/>
                               :
                               :
        <library name="runtime/yourapp1.jar"/>
        <library name="runtime/yourapp2.jar"/>
    </runtime>

    These steps are necessary for the migration because the migration tool must use the jar files to initialize BTT environment and read the related information about your application.
