Migrating the Project Using TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks

Procedure

  1. In TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks, go to Project > Migrate BW Projects....
  2. In the BusinessWorks Migration Tool wizard, specify the relevant information in the following fields.
    1. Click Browse in the BusinessWorks 5 Project Folder field and provide the location of the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project that you want to migrate. The tool scans the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x projects in the specified folder location and displays the list of projects.
    2. In the Migrated Project Folder field, click Browse and provide the location where you want to migrate the project.
    3. Select the Add External JARs check box if the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project is using external JAR files in context with Java activities.
      It is a best practice to place the external JAR files in a single location. These JAR files can then be in-lined in the migrated ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x project.
    4. Click Browse in the Jar Location field and provide the location of the JAR files on disk.
  3. In the BusinessWorks 5 Projects area, select the projects you want to migrate and click Migrate.
    The migrated projects are visible in the Migration Output area.
  4. Click Close after the migration is complete.

Example

Note: You can alternatively migrate the projects using the File > Import menu option. Select Migrate BW Projects... > Next in the Import dialog.
