Migrating Projects with Invoke an Adapter Request-Response Server Activity and Request-Response Service

You can migrate projects that use the Invoke an Adapter Request-Response Server from the Adapter palette and Request-Response service of ActiveMatrix® Adapter for Database to the Data Requester Activity in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for Database.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisite applies:
  • An ActiveMatrix® Adapter for Database projects created on ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x by using the Request Response service and Invoke an Adapter Request-Response Server activity must use an event source activity (such as a timer) as the starter activity.

Procedure

  1. In TIBCO Business Studio, right-click the project in the Project Explorer and select Refactor > Migrate Adapter to Plug-in.
  2. In the Migrate Adapter Activity window, select the project to migrate. Review the processes that are displayed for migration and then click OK.
  3. Open the processes and realign the mapper activity if required. Add mappings in the mapper activity.
    Name of the migrated shared resource is the name of the ActiveDatabase Adapter Configuration and the extension of the shared resource. For example, ActiveDatabaseConfiguration.adbResource.

    All the configurations of the Request-Response service are migrated to the respective fields of DBRequester on the Schema tab of the ADB Configuration resource.

    All the fields of Invoke an Adapter Request-Response Server activity are migrated to the General > Advanced tab of the Data Requester activity.

    On the General tab of the migrated Data Requester activity, the migrated shared resource is mapped to the Configuration Resource field. The schema selected in the Request-Response service is mapped to the schema picker of the migrated Data Requester activity.

    Note: In the migrated activity, the fields that are not present in the Request-Response service but are present in the Data Requester activity have default values. These fields can be configured by using the JSON preference file. For more information about the JSON preference file, see Working with Preference File (JSON) for Migration.

    You must specify the schema name while adding the procedure on the Call Operation tab of the Request-Response service.
