When you install Adapter Framework 2.6 in a WebSphere environment
with an InterChange Server 4.3 or InterChange Server
4.2.2 integration broker, you can migrate adapters released with
framework 2.4 to the new framework.
- Note:
- If you want to migrate adapters released with a 2.3.x adapter
framework, see Upgrading pre-2.4 adapters.
This section describes tasks you must complete when you are migrating
adapters to Adapter Framework 2.6 configured with an ICS 4.3 or
4.2.2 integration broker. You can migrate adapters
released with the 2.4 framework only.
Before you begin If you have not already done so, install the
latest version of the 2.4.x framework adapter that you want to
migrate. For further information, see Upgrading pre-2.4 adapters.
- Backup all existing files for the adapter you want to migrate.
- Copy the adapter configuration template file or files to the ICS directory
structure containing Connector Configurator:
- Locate the connector configuration template file
(<adapter_name>
ConnectorTemplate) in the directory of the adapter you want to migrate.
This file contains the template for the connector definition and is used by
Connector Configurator. If necessary, consult the "Installed file
structure" section in the adapter guide to locate this file.
- Copy the <adapter_name>ConnectorTemplate to the ICS
directory where Connector Configurator resides. The default location is
as follows:
- InterChange Server 4.3
ProductDir/IBM/WebSphereICS/bin/Data/app
- InterChange Server 4.2.2
ProductDir/IBM/WebSphereICS/bin/Data/app
If your ICS broker was installed to a different location, simply search
on
ConnDesgner.exe -- the
Connector Configurator executable. Copy the template file to the
Data/app directory in this location.
- Update the start script for the adapter and, if applicable, the ODA, so
that they can run with Adapter Framework 2.6. Replacement
scripts are available for download from TechNotes. For links to
TechNotes for adapters, see Linking to TechNotes.
- Configure the adapter for use in your WebSphere environment.
