Development environment migrated Current development environment Overview Migrating the development instance Our example, we used the following directory Running the toolRun the Wcim tool as follows Example 7-1 Sample output from the Wcim tool File name of the log will be in the following format Migrating unencrypted data Migrating the development databaseRun the migration script as follows Migrating encrypted data We used the following commandFor example, we used Run the script as follows Summary Migrating custom EJBs 119 Process for converting from EJBs from version 1.0 to Export the EJB project from VisualAge for Java Import the EJB projects into VisualAge for Java Export EJBs as EJB 1.1 JAR files Regenerate the deployed code for the EJBs Import the EJBs into WebSphere Studio Application Developer 6320chDEVmigration.fm Post-migration steps Lightweight test environment Setting up aliases Example 8-2 Excerpt from the deployment.xml file Example 8-1 Excerpt from the

Interface changes WebSphere Commerce V5.6 command interfaces ApplyOrderAdjustmentsCmd contain the following methods WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 interfaces for the commandsRefer to Example 8-5 on page 135 for an sample of this Accessing the order items Then this could be migrated into the following line Accessing OrderItemAccessBean Accessing Item 143 Access bean string converters Configuration and code changes for migrated EJBs 145 Example 8-7 Example ibm-ejb-access-bean.xmi file Change the access isolation level 147 Add the WCSecurity role Remove serialVersionUID constants Change the container transaction typeEnsure that ejbCreate returns primary key object Delete this line and save your source by pressing Ctrl + S Remove java.rmi.RemoteException from remote methods Remove FinderHelper interface Match ejbPostCreate and ejbCreate methodsFollowing method would be added to the home interface Regenerating the deploy code 7 J2EE Connector Architecture Changed price
