Overview of migrating adapters to Adapter Framework 2.6

The sections in this chapter describe how to migrate adapters released with Adapter Framework 2.4.x to Adapter Framework 2.6. The migration tasks depend on your WebSphere environment and integration broker. The tasks also reflect the changes made to the new framework.

In Adapter Framework 2.6, environment variables and .jar files were renamed and relocated. To migrate adapters released with framework 2.4.x to the new framework, adapter and ODA start scripts must be updated accordingly.

For most adapters, TechNotes provide instructions to download modified start scripts. This chapter provides links to those TechNotes as part of the migration procedure. You open the TechNote and follow instructions to download platform-specific start scripts for adapters and, where applicable, ODAs. Then you use these scripts to replace the 2.4.x framework start scripts.

Not all adapters released with Adapter Framework 2.4.x can be migrated to Adapter Framework 2.6. For further information, see Adapter-specific TechNotes.

Custom adapter script modifications

For custom adapters, you must also modify the start scripts. A TechNote for custom adapters provides step-by-step instructions to implement the modifications and includes examples of platform-specific modified scripts. The modifications to the start scripts include the following:
