I perform the following steps:

– Open a new workspace
– Temporarily disable Build Automatically
– Checked out a project built on RAD 6.0 into Myeclipse 8.6.1

I disabled Build Automatically because in RAD 6.0, before we build, we need to create a source folder ejbDeploy and set it as the EJB Deployment Source Folder. We also set the java complier project setting to ignore a few things (like unused imports). Only then we start to build.

In the myeclipse workspace, I now hv the following on the problem tab

Project ‘BelsizeEJB’ is missing required source folder: ‘ejbDeploy’
Unbound classpath container: ‘JRE System Library [WebSphere v6 JRE]’ in project ‘BelsizeClient’
Unbound classpath container: ‘JRE System Library [WebSphere v6 JRE]’ in project ‘BelsizeConnector’
Unbound classpath container: ‘JRE System Library [WebSphere v6 JRE]’ in project ‘BelsizeEJB’
Unbound classpath container: ‘JRE System Library [WebSphere v6 JRE]’ in project ‘BelsizeWeb’

I tried turning on automatic build, I got lots 1800 error and 34000 warnings…

What should I do next…

BTW, we don’t really need the BelsizeConnector and the BelsizeClient project. Its legacy thing.

joejess,

Here’s a document that provides some direction on the migration process and some considerations you’ll want to keep in mind.
http://www.myeclipseide.com/Blue/Rational_tool_migration.pdf
http://www.genuitec.com/blog/?p=256

The documents list out the steps for migration.

Please have a look at it and let us know if the issue persists.

[CS Tan]

I managed to go as far as the resolution of the missing classpath. I point it back to the RAD 6 which has a WAS 6.0 runtime. The number of errors are now less. Its broken down as follows. The number at the end of each row is the number of error of that type.

What should I next do?

joejess,

1) Can you clarify if you are using the same version of websphere for both RAD and MyEclipse?

2) Also clear the contents of the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata folder. Now try migrating the project and check the .log file for any errors logged. Paste them here for me.

3) Here are couple of threads which discuss the migration issues from RAD to ME. Can you check if any of the solutions discussed in them helps you ?

http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-printview-t-25710-start-15.html

Let me know how it works for you.

[CS Tan]

We are migrating RAD 6.0 (with embedded WAS 6.0) to ME 8.6 to run on WAS 6.1. Looks like from the above posting, migrating and porting cannot be done with the wizard. I have 2 questions at this stage:

a) It seem the only solution is the one suggested by Rashid in http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-printview-t-26349-start-0.html, it was suggest that an entirely new project be created and then copy the source code across. If this the best way now?

b) Support-Brian mentioned that “even if you did have a 6.0 installation, migrating a 6.0 project [to ME] and then deploying [in ME] to 6.1 is not something I would recommend”. It doesn’t seem right that ME can deploy across multiple App Server but cannot deploy to an upgraded version of the same server. More directly, do we need to do a manual deploy like step a) each time WAS releases a new version?

With ME, we are really hoping to avoid having to migrate to RAD 7 etc… But ME has to work for us long term. Need your suggestion on our next step.

I am trying step a) in earlier post and seem to make some progress. Can you help me with the following error
ServiceLocatorManager cannot be resolved
Scheduler cannot be resolved to a type
Where do I need to do?

[CS Tan]

I managed to fixed that. a) Import the scheduler from WAS and b) copy the jar from RAD 6 for the ServiceLocator…

But I have problem when I deploy. There are a series of messages that looks like:

Ok…I managed to get the application to work. There was a conflict in the complier version.

[support-swapna]

joejess,

Glad that it is working.
Do let us know if you have any other issues.

[neelimabisht]

cannot find the tag library descriptor for http //java.sun.com/jsf/core
i cnt find the tag library

[support-swapna]

neelimabisht,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

Can you please answer some more questions for us ?

1. From which version of RAD are you migrating the project ? Can you clarify if you are using the same version of websphere for both RAD and MyEclipse?

2. Take a look at these documents to understand the migration process :

http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/quickstarts/blueedition/project_migration/
http://www.myeclipseide.com/Blue/Rational_tool_migration.pdf
http://www.genuitec.com/blog/?p=256

3. Did you check if the required jar is in the project ? Also please recheck the compiler version.

4. Can you please try a rebuild of the entire project and see if it helps ?

Let us know how it works for you.
