Upgrading to Java CAPS 6.2

ProcedureTo Use Enterprise Designer to Export Projects and Environments

Before You Begin

Before beginning the process of exporting Projects and Environments from prior releases of Java CAPS 5.1.0–5.1.3 or ICAN Suite 5.0.5, it is recommended that you acquaint yourself with the steps to complete the task in the appropriate eGate Integrator User's Guide.

  1. Install Java CAPS 6.2.

    See the notes under Upgrading From Release 5.0.5 - 5.1.3 to Release 6.2 for links to more information.

  2. If you are using any components that are not included in the default installation, reinstall them now.

    This includes certain adapters and add-ons, certain core components like Sun Master Index, and so on.


    Tip –

    You can view a list of installed products for Java CAPS 6.2 on the Suite Uploader, which can be accessed from a web browser if the Repository is started. The URL is http://host-name:port-number.. The default port number is 12000.


  3. Export a Project or Environment from releases 5.0.5 through 5.1.3 using Enterprise Designer and create an external file to import into Release 6.2.

    Record the settings for your Projects and Environments before exporting them. You will need this information when you reset the properties.

    1. From the Repository or Project context menu, select Export Project to display the Export Manager dialog.


      Note –

      If you do not have any existing Environments in your Repository, the Environment panes are empty.


    2. Highlight the desired Projects or Environments in the displayed lists.

    3. Click the appropriate Arrow button to transfer the highlighted items to the Selected Projects or Selected Environments panes.

    4. When the desired Project appears in the Selected Projects pane, click Browse.

      The Save As dialog box appears. A file name is already defined by adding the ZIP extension to the Project name.


      Note –

      You can change the export file name.


    5. To enter the file name click Save As.

      The Export Manager dialog box reappears.

    6. Select the export destination and then click Export to export the Project file.

      This process may take a few minutes. The Export Status message box appears after the file has been exported successfully.

    7. To close the message box click OK.

  4. Import the Java CAPS Project or Environment into the NetBeans IDE.

    1. Start the NetBeans IDE.

    2. On the menu bar, select Tools, point to CAPS Repository, and then select Import Project.

      A warning dialog box appears with a reminder to save any unsaved changes.

    3. Click No if you need to save or check in any changes; otherwise, click Yes to continue with the process.

      The Import Manager dialog box appears.

    4. In the From ZIP file field, browse to the location of the export ZIP file you created and then select the file.

    5. If you want the Project to appear as top level in the Projects pane in the NetBeans IDE, select As Top-Level under the Destination Project field drop down list.

    6. When you have made all your selections on the Import Manager dialog box, click Import.

    7. When the Import Status message appears, click OK.

    8. Wait until the Repository completes refreshing, and then close the Import Manager dialog box.

      The Project appears in the Projects Window.
