This information explains how to migrate your projects to Rational® Developer for Power Systems Software V8.5 from previous versions of Rational Developer for Power Systems Software. Migration is supported from Versions 7.5.x, 7.6.x or 8.0.x for Rational Developer for Power Systems Software. Migration of earlier projects is not supported because of additional features that have been added.
Migration is required most often because of a change in the underlying technology from one release to another. For example, new standards in Web application directory structure may require reorganization of your projects from one release to another.
In general, migration is seamless and transparent. All you need to do is use your existing workspace, and continue working with your projects with the new software version.
In all cases, a message informs you when migration is necessary.
