This topic provides information about how bidirectionally-enabled
projects are migrated from earlier versions of the product.
Enterprise Service Tools enables you to automatically migrate projects
created with an earlier release of the product. You are prompted to migrate
projects in the following situations:
- You launch Rational Developer for System z with
a workspace that contains a back-level service flow project.
- You import a back-level service flow project in to the current workspace.
Bidirectional-enabled projects have the following special features:
- BIDIMSG.sfmxsd file
- By default, a BIDIMSG.sfmxsd file is created
when you create a new project. When you migrate a project from a earlier version
of the product, the BIDIMSG.mxsd file is preserved.
- Messsage model
- The message model is extended to contain bidirectional attributes. When
you migrate a project from an earlier version of the product, the field-level
attributes are preserved.
