Application development migration considerations
This section provides a general overview of what needs to be considered when migrating apps between WAS versions.
Consider the following points:
Understand the new features and use the right development and deployment tools. WAS V7.0 provides two tools:
-- - WAS Deploy and Assembly V7.5
-- - Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software V7.5
Understand JDK V1.6 impacts, such as whether it will affect any of the API commands used in the app.
Understand the changes to the admin deployment scripts with the introduction of new components (such as Business Level Applications).
Identify the deprecated APIs in WAS V7.0 and determine whether any of these APIs are used in the existing apps.
See about deprecated APIa, see the Information Center article Deprecated, stabilized, and removed features.
