IBM Branch Transformation Toolkit 5.1 Migration and Usage Guidelines

210 IBM Branch Transformation Toolkit 5.1 Migration and Usage Guidelines

7.1 Configuring the test environment

Although the migration work is nearly compete, before using the migrated

project, the application should be tested, deployed, and run. In this phase, the

server is created and some configuration carried out.

CHA provides context functionality in a distributed server environment. To fulfil

the functionality of the CHA in Branch Transformation Toolkit 5.1 applications, a

database server is also required. Although most kinds of database systems are

supported as described in Chapter 5, “Migrating an application”, IBM DB2

Universal Database 8.2 is used as the default in this book.

In our sample, the WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition

v5.1.1 test environment was used as the runtime platform and DB2 Universal 8.2

was used as the database server.

7.1.1 Preparing the CHA database

During the migration process, you created a database named SAMPLE. Check

the database status before proceeding. If you created the database correctly,

skip this phase. Otherwise, you have to create it again or fix it. For detailed

information, refer to 5.3.2, “Creating a CHA database” on page 116.

7.1.2 Creating a server

In 6.3, “Preparing the client and the server” on page 132, you created the server

named BaseSample. Check the server status before proceeding. For this

configuration, the security and database information is required. If you have done

this correctly, skip this step. Otherwise, reorganize the server again. For

information about the detailed method to do this, refer to 6.3.3, “Creating a

server” on page 143.

Once you finish this, deploy CHA to fulfil the EJB to RDB Mapping functionality. If

you have already done this correctly following the instruction given in “CHA

deployment” on page 151, you can skip this step. Otherwise, you have do it again

to fix any errors.

7.1.3 Adding application to the test environment

Because you will be publishing the BaseSample application by deploying the

BaseSample server, add the application to the server, by performing the

following steps:

1. Change to Server perspective.
