Migrating test cases from older DataStage versions

You can convert unit test specifications from classic DataStage® jobs into test cases compatible with NextGen DataStage.

Use the mettleci unittest migrate command that is available in the MettleCI command line to convert and import test specifications and associated test data files into NextGen DataStage projects. See the following example:

$> mettleci unittest migrate \
   -specs unittest \
   -url https://cpd-dm.apps.prod1.dm-cpd.mettleci.cloud \
   -user admin \
   -api-key **** \
   -project RegressionTest_ci \
   -test-data-archive TestData.zip
