We tried migrating from RAD 6.0.2.23 to Myeclipse Blue a year ago. Not successful then but would like to try again.

Our workspace consist essentially of Web, EJB (1.4.2) and EAR.

I have a few questions I hope to get some help with.

1) Please provide links to latest literature to get us going with the migration. We use WAS 6.1 and DB2 9.5.

2) Our current source code is on CVS on Fedora Core. Do you think we need to upgrade the CVS.

3) If we are successful in migrating the tools, we may just use Myeclipse from here on. If this is the case, can we just use the standard Eclipse instead of Eclipse Blue. We don’t use web services (yet) or any connector in WAS.

4) Do you provide any paid remote web desktop support to help us for this exercise? If you do, please let us know the charges.

Thanks.

joejess,

Please provide links to latest literature to get us going with the migration. We use WAS 6.1 and DB2 9.5.

Here are the tutorials for the same :

http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/quickstarts/blueedition/blue_rad_overview/
http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/quickstarts/blueedition/project_migration/

Our current source code is on CVS on Fedora Core. Do you think we need to upgrade the CVS.

MyEclipse comes with a CVS and you can configure it to work it. To create a new repository all you need to do is:
1.Switch to the CVS Repository Exploring perspective
2.Right click on the Repositories view and choose New Repository Location…
3. Then specify the details in the New Repository dialog .
4. Hit Finish and a new repository will be created in your CVS Repositories view
Expand it and you can find all the projects under HEAD

If we are successful in migrating the tools, we may just use Myeclipse from here on. If this is the case, can we just use the standard Eclipse instead of Eclipse Blue. We don’t use web services (yet) or any connector in WAS

It is recommended to use MyEclipse Blue for RAD projects even though you don’t use the web services.

Do you provide any paid remote web desktop support to help us for this exercise? If you do, please let us know the charges.

We are sorry. We don’t provide any paid remote web desktop support. We can assist you through the support forums.

Let us know if you have any issues.

Would the following be the general sequence of steps for migration.

a) Start with a clean machine without RAD or WAS (say running Win XP, Win 7 or Suse Linux Enterprise – does it matter or do you have a preference?)
b) Install DB2 9.5 C
c) Install WAS 6.1 developer edition and configure JDBC, java Mail, scheduler.
d) Install ME Blue
e) Check out from our CVS the latest source codes (done on RAD 6.0)
f) Perform the migration outline in the documentation you indicated. http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/quickstarts/blueedition/project_migration/
g) Deploy to WAS 6.1 (Add and remove project? Are there instructions on how to configure WAS 6.1 with ME Blue for deployment)
h) See if ok.
i) Make EAR file with ME Blue
j) Deploy to production WAS 6.1
