About this task

A WebSphere ESB conversion session contains the WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus resources that you want to convert, your WebSphere ESB conversion session configuration choices, and your conversion results.

When you create a WebSphere ESB conversion session, a file with the extension .conversion is created. This file contains your conversion choices and the results of your conversion.

You can open the WebSphere ESB conversion session file at any time to modify your conversion configuration choices or to examine your conversion results.

  1. To create a conversion session, take one of the following steps:
    • In the WebSphere ESB Project Interchange importer, select Launch WebSphere ESB conversion after import.
