This guide is designed to help you migrate WebSphere Business Integration
adapters to Adapter Framework 2.6. That framework supports
migration of most adapters running with Adapter Framework
2.4.x.
The
way you migrate adapters depends on the configuration of your installed
WebSphere Business Integration environment and on the version of the adapter
or adapters that you want to migrate to the 2.6 framework.
This guide provides the following:
- An overview of the changes to and requirements of the new adapter
framework. For further information, see Overview of Adapter Framework changes.
- A task-oriented roadmap to migration scenarios. For further
information, see Migration task roadmap.
- A procedure for upgrading adapters released prior to Adapter Framework
2.4. See Upgrading pre-2.4 adapters.
- Note:
- You cannot run a pre-2.4.x framework adapter on the new
2.6 framework. Instead, you must upgrade the adapter to the
latest version released with framework 2.4.x. Then you
can migrate the adapter to the 2.6 framework.
- A description of script modifications to migrate adapters and Object
Discovery Agents (ODA's) to the new adapter framework that also includes
links to TechNotes. The
TechNotes provide adapter-specific start scripts for adapters and ODAs.
You use these scripts to replace those installed with the latest,
2.4.x framework compatible, version of the adapter. For
further information, see Linking to TechNotes.
- Note:
- This guide is not a substitute for the adapter or integration broker
installation, implementation, or administration guides. Instead, this
guide supplements these
documents, which include the following:
- Installing WebSphere Business Integration Adapters,
V.2.6
- System Installation Guide for Windows (InterChange Server
broker)
- System Installation Guide for Unix (InterChange Server broker)
- Implementing Adapters with WebSphere Business Integration Message
Broker
- Implementing Adapters with WebSphere Application Server
The rest of this chapter provides a task roadmap to migrating adapters and
an overview of the changes to the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter
Framework, Version 2.6. It also explains terms you need to
know.
