Workspaces from WebSphere® Developer
for zSeries® (WebSphere Developer) 6.0.0, 6.0.1, or 7.0
and Rational® Developer
for System z® 7.1 can be
migrated for use in the latest version of Rational Developer for System z.
A workspace from WebSphere Developer
6.0 or 7.0 or Rational Developer
for System z 7.1 can be
migrated to work in the latest version of Rational Developer for System zby simply opening the workspace
in Rational Developer for System z.
- After migration is complete, if the z/OS® Projects perspective is active, select Window->Reset
Perspective to ensure that the correct views are shown.
If the z/OS Projects perspective
is not open, select Window->Open Perspective->z/OS Projects.
- Following migration, you are likely to see one or more
of the following messages.
- A message indicating that a copy of the old workspace has been
saved in a location included in the message.
- A message indicating that the old workspace layout cannot be restored.
This condition is due to the renaming of some views and the obsolescence
of others.
- A dialog requesting a user ID and password for a remote system
connection. An attempt to connect at this time is likely to fail if
any connection properties need to be changed to reflect differences
in the old and new remote system environments.
