Migrating Projects

You can migrate a Siebel Adapter and TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project created in TIBCO Designer™ to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x or TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition studio by using the migration tool in TIBCO Business Studio. You can migrate a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project to a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x project but migration in the other direction is not supported.

Note:
  • In addition to the notes mentioned, it is a good practice to review the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x Migration guide for additional information such as naming conventions, and more.
  • Migration is based on the information received from the AE activities. The Invoke an Adapter Request-Response Service and Publish to Adapter AE activities are supported for migration.
Below notes should be considered before migrating from TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x projects to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x projects.
  • Due to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project structure and the migration process, there are some files in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project migrated to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x, but are not used and must be ignored. For example, - ae folder and ae2xsd.xsd under Schemas folder, AESchemas folder, etc.
  • An EMF validation error occurs in the migrated TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 6.x project when one TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 5.x project is saved with another name and these two projects are migrated to the plug-in. To resolve this issue, delete the Namespaces/Imports from Process > Dependencies.
  • After migration, in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 6.x project the shared resource created is at the root level even if it is at a resource folder level in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 5.x project
  • For migration the command line data option must be used and the user workspace directory andTIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 6.x target directory should be the same. For example, bwmigrator.exe -data <user workspace> -projectDir <BusinessWorks 6.x target directory> <BusinessWorks 5.x project location>
    Note: The CLI migration is not supported for Invoke Request Response AE Activity migration.
  • Migration supports online schema migration, which means it retrieves the schema from the Siebel server during migration for the respective activity. Before migrating a project, ensure that the connection parameters provided are correct in the project or in JSON reference file, otherwise errors might occur post migration.
  • Module property is migrated to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x project only if it is created in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project and is referred in one of the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x projects or it must be referred in JSON file.
