Migrating a project WAR file for use with a new MobileFirst Server

You migrate a project WAR file by running a <migrate> Ant task, which is included in the worklight-ant-deployer.jar library. You can migrate .war files that are developed in V5.0.6 of this product and later. To run the Ant task, you invoke it from an Ant XML file similar to the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="MigrateWarFile" default="migrate" basedir=".">
  <target name="migrate">
    <echo message="Loading Ant Tool" />
    <taskdef resource="com/worklight/ant/defaults.properties">
      <classpath>
        <pathelement location="worklight-ant-deployer.jar" />
      </classpath>
    </taskdef>
    <migrate sourceWarFile="d:/myOldWarFolder/myProject.war" destWarFile="d:/myNewWarFolder/myMigratedProject.war"/>
  </target>
</project>

The <migrate> task accepts the following input parameters:

sourceWarFile

(mandatory) The path to the source project WAR file. The path must not contain spaces.

destWarFile

(optional) The destination file for the migrated WAR file. Default value: <source-war-folder>/migrated-to-<new version number>/<source-war-filename>.
