OPTIONS

-h --help

displays the arguments for launching the MigrationTool.

-v --version

displays the version of the MigrationTool.

-u --ui

invokes the tool in user interface mode.

-c --commandline

invokes the tool in command-line mode.

-q --quiet

launches the tool in quiet mode.

-d --debug

launches the tool in debug mode.

-s --sourcedirectory

identifes the directory where the source code to migrate or scan is present.

-S --sourceserver

identifes the source application server of the applications to be migrated. Possible servers include the following:

wl51: WebLogic Application Server 5.1
wl60: WebLogic Application Server 6.0
wl61: WebLogic Application Server 6.1
wl81: WebLogic Application Server 8.1
as65: Sun ONE Application Server 6.5
as70: Sun ONE Application Server 7.0
ws40: WebSphere Application Server 4.0
ws50: WebSphere Application Server 5.x
ri13: JavaTM^TM 2 Platform Enterprise Edition 1.3
ri14: JavaTM^TM 2 Platform Enterprise Edition 1.3
s1ws: Sun ONE Web Server
jb30: JBoss Application Server 3.0
tc41: Tomcat Application Server 4.1

-t --targetdirectory

target or output directory where the migrated application should be placed.

-T --targetserver

target application server to which the application is to be migrated. Use sjs80PE as the target server for Sun Java System Appplication Server 8.1 2005Q1.

-n --scan-native-apis-only

scans the source code only for the presence of application server specific proprietary APIs.

-p --scan-packages

comma-separated list of Java packages to scan.

-j --java2db

bypasses the creation of the sun-cmp-mapping.xml file. Instead, introduces the option argument into the sun-ejb-jar.xml file. Option arguments are:

create-tables: if set to true (default), creates tables at deploy. If set to false tables are not created.
drop-tables: if set to true (default), tables are dropped at undeploy. If set to false tables are not dropped.
db-vendor-name: name of the database vendor for the application to be migrated. Supported vendor names include: Oracle, Sybase, DB2, Generic SQL92, PointBase, MSSQL.

-m --migrate-cmp

migrates 1.1 compliant CMPs, if any, to 2.0. Option arguments are:

overwrite-conflicting-accessors: if set to true (default), conflicting accessors are overwritten. If set to false, conflicting accessors are not overwritten.
comment-pk-modifiers: if set to true (default), setters of primary key are commented. If set to false, setters of primary key are not commented.

-f --file-filter

selects the type of files to migrate. Option arguments are:

all-files: if specified and set to true (default), migrates all types of files.
html-files: if specified and set to true (default), migrates HTML files.
java-files: if specified and set to true (default), migrates Java files.
jsp-files: if specified and set to true (default), migrates JSP type files.
xml-files: if specified and set to true(default), migrates all XML type files.
archive-files: if specified and set to true (default), migrates jar/ear/war/rar file types.

-a --append-logs

if specified, appends the logging to the existing or previous logs without overwriting them. If not specified, previous logs are overwritten.

operands

identifes the archive file (jar/ear/war/rar) to be migrated.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 Using asmigrate

This example shows how to migrate the source code for a Websphere 4.0 application to Sun Java System Application Server 8.1 Platform Edition 2005Q1 using the command line options. The output directory for the migrated code is /tmp/ws_out. The location of the source code is in directory, /d1/asmt/examples/websphere_4_0/PeopleDB/src.

asmigrate -c -T sjs80PE -S ws40 -t /tmp/ws_out -s
/d1/asmt/examples/websphere_4_0/PeopleDB/src

This example shows how to migrate a Websphere 4.0 application archive to Sun Java System Application Server 8.1 Platform Edition 2005Q1.

asmigrate -c -T sjs80PE -S ws40 -t /tmp/ws_out
/d1/asmt/examples/websphere_4_0/PeopleDB/WA
SDeployed/PeopleDBEnEar.ear

This example shows how to migrate source code from Weblogic 6.1 application to Sun Java System Application Server 8 Platform Edition 2004Q4. Only Java files are designated to be migrated. CMP 1.1 beans will be migrated to CMP 2.0 beans and conflicting CMP related accessors will be overwritten.

asmigrate -c -T sjs80PE -S wl61 -t /tmp/ws_out -s
/d1/asmt_headstrong/asmt/examples/weblogic_6_x/
iBank -f java-files=true -m overwrite-conflicting-accessors=true

This example shows how to start the migration tool UI.
