You cannot migrate the WebSphere® Message Broker Toolkit from previous versions, but you can install IBM® Integration Toolkit Version 9.0 to coexist with a previous version, and migrate the development resources that you created in your workspace.
You can continue to use resources from a previous version of WebSphere Message Broker by importing them into an IBM Integration Toolkit Version 9.0 workspace. After you import resources, you can no longer use them in a previous version of the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit.
Message flow projects are replaced by integration projects in IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. When you import message flow projects into IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0, they are converted automatically to integration projects. You cannot create a message flow project in IBM Integration Toolkit Version 9.0.
To migrate your WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit workspace to IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0, complete the following steps.
To import resources in a Project Interchange file, complete the following steps.
Results:
You can now view and modify existing resources, and create new resources. You can deploy your workspace resources to IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0 integration nodes (brokers).
After migration, your resources are contained in a integration project. You can then decide how you want to organize your resources. Applications are typically used to contain all the resources that are required for a particular solution. Libraries are typically used to contain resources that you might want to reuse. So you might decide to store your main message flow in an application, and store your reusable resources in a library. For an example of how you might convert your resources, see Example: Manual conversion of Version 7.0 resources to applications and libraries. For instructions about converting your migrated resources to applications and libraries, see Converting existing projects to applications and libraries.
