upgrade Ant Task

Upgrades a WebLogic Workshop application version 8.1 (SP4, SP5, or SP6) to a Workshop for WebLogic, version 9.2 workspace.

Note: This Ant task is also available as a command-line command. For more information, see upgradeStarter command.

Note: Your version 8.1 application must have been upgraded to SP4, SP5, or SP6 before using this task.

This task exposes through Ant essentially the same functionality exposed by the import wizard when upgrading an application. (See How To: Use the Import Wizard to Upgrade Version 8.1 Applications for information on the wizard.) One exception to this support is that it is not possible with this task to specify a subset of an application to upgrade. For example, this task does not support specifying which projects to upgrade; all projects are upgraded.

This task requires com.bea.wlw.upgrade.cmdline.UpgradeTask, which is available in the wlw-upgrade.jar. This jar is installed by default to WORKSHOP_HOME/eclipse/plugins/com.bea.wlw.upgrade_9.2.0.

Environment

The task classpath (as specified by the classpathref attribute in the example below) must include startup.jar (see the eclipseHome attribute description below).

Attribute	Description	Required
data	The Eclipse workspace to which the specified 8.1 application will be imported and upgraded.	Yes.
eclipseHome	The Eclipse directory that contains startup.jar. By default this is BEA_HOME/workshop92/eclipse.	Yes.
weblogicHome	The location of the WebLogic Server root folder.
pluginCustomization	The location of an optional preference file to use during import and upgrade. For more on this file, see the Remarks for the `upgradeStarter` command.	No.
wlwApplication	The location of the WORK file for the version 8.1 application that you are upgrading.	Yes.
