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.sfmxsd 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.
