The WebSphere® ESB conversion tool accelerates the conversion of WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus resources to IBM® Integration Bus resources whilst reducing administration overhead and extending the reusability of service components.
Business requirements and integration strategy define the functions and enterprise service bus (ESB) products that an ESB layer must provide to an organization. In IBM Integration Bus, the WebSphere ESB conversion tool supports the consolidation of service resources into one product and one service provider within the ESB infrastructure.
The WebSphere ESB conversion tool converts mediation modules and libraries available in WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus to development resources in IBM Integration Bus.
A number of constraints apply when you convert WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus resources into IBM Integration Bus resources by using the WebSphere ESB conversion tool. For more information, see WebSphere ESB conversion tool limitations.
Use the WebSphere ESB conversion tool when you have a mediation module running in WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus that you want to reuse in IBM Integration Bus. For more information, see Converting WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus resources by using the WebSphere ESB conversion tool.
You can also convert resources manually. For more information, see Converting WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus resources manually.
