IBM Integration Designer source artifact migration refers to the process of importing a project interchange (PI) created in an older version of IBM Integration Designer or WebSphere® Integration Developer into a newer version of IBM Integration Designer.

Before you begin

Before you migrate the source artifacts, review the information in Migrating generated Java EE staging projects and Migrating server runtime targets.

Procedure

To migrate source artifacts, complete the following steps:

  1. Export the artifacts as integration modules by selecting File > Export > Business Integration > Integration modules and libraries.
  2. From the Export Integration Modules and Libraries window, select Project interchange for sharing between workspaces and select the projects to export. Click Next.
  3. From this window, specify the file names for each archive and the target directory. Click Finish.
  4. Import the archive file that is generated in the previous steps as a project interchange file. To import a project interchange file, select File > Import > Other > Project Interchange and click Next.
  5. Click Browse to select the archive file and click Finish. By default, the projects are set to build automatically. Therefore, after the project interchange is imported, the build, including the validation, begins automatically.
  6. The Workspace Migration wizard opens after the project interchange file is imported.
  7. After the migration process ends, you see a window indicating that the migration validation has completed successfully.

What to do next

To see more details about the validation, go to the Migration Results view.
