You can work with resources from previous versions of WebSphere® Message Broker by using a project interchange file to import the resources into IBM® Integration Bus Version 9.0.
You might have resources from previous versions of WebSphere Message Broker, such as Message Flow projects, Java™ projects, message set projects, and PHP projects, that you want to use in IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. You can import these resources by migrating your WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit workspace, or by using a project interchange file.
Message flow projects are replaced by Message Broker projects in WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0. Message Broker projects are replaced by integration projects in IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. When you import Message Flow projects or Message Broker projects into IBM Integration Toolkit Version 9.0, they are converted automatically to integration projects. You can then use an imported project as the basis for a new application or library.
To import resources into IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0 by using a project interchange file, complete the following steps.
Next:
You can choose to convert the imported projects to applications or libraries. For an example of how you might convert your resources, see Example: Manual conversion of Version 7.0 resources to applications and libraries. For detailed instructions for how to convert your resources, see Converting existing projects to applications and libraries.
