This section describes migration tasks at a high level. It also includes a table describing the Adapter Framework 2.6 environments you can migrate to. The table provides links and references to step-by-step procedures.
Before you begin, Is there a 2.6 framework version of the adapter you wish to migrate? If so, install it and skip the migration procedure. Here are the WebSphere Business Integration adapters released with the 2.6 framework:
If the adapter you want to migrate is on this list, install it after you install the 2.6 framework. For further information, including directions on installation sequence, see the Installing WebSphere Business Integration Adapters, V.2.6 guide.
The high-level tasks involved in migrating adapters from previous releases to Adapter Framework 2.6 are as follows:
To determine the adapter and Adapter Framework versions, you can do either of
the following:
Table 1 describes the migration procedures that apply to a variety of WebSphere Business Integration environments. Each row of the table ends with pointers to step-by-step instructions for completing the procedure.
