Hi guys!
I just met with wM folks from the EAST COAST office. Basically, the conversion is coming up sometime in JUNE '03. You will NOT need to re-write codes of any sorts. My company are at wM 4.6 and thinking of converting to wM 6.0. They also stated that there has been NO customer that have migrate from wM4.6 to wM 6.0 and that we are almost a BETA company to do this. Companies that have gone with wM 6.0, started with 6.0 from the start. HOpe this helps!
Btw, UPGRADE doesn’t mean “upgrade”. It actually means a fresh install and a migration. You guys probably knew this right? And the other catch is that I have inquire with wM to see if they have any sort of system scripts that will “clean-up” the previous versions. If not, this will be hella fun!
Later.
I just discovered that the 4.6 version of BI only supported implementations in Enterprise, Workflow and TN, but not IS. That decision seems to have been reversed in 6.0.
Can anyone shed light on the reasoning for the TN-only implementation?
What was the last version of BI to support non-TN IS implementations and will it work with Broker 5.0 and IS 4.6?
TIA,
Mark
Hi. I’m currently using webMethods v4.6. Possibility of using v6.0 in future. How much issues do i need to address regarding the changing of versions?
Any documentation I can refer to?
Jennifer,
There is a document titled, “webMethods Integration Platform Upgrade Guide” for version 6.0.1 that is coded: webM-PlatformUpgrade601-4/16/2003. Should contain most of what you need.
I have had good luck with moving Integration Server Code between v4.6 and v6.0.1. Read the “readme.txt” file because it details a list of deprecated items and new services that replace most of them.
The deprecated services are still there, but they are hidden in the developer.
Hope this helps.

Would it cover issues for version control too, if i install additional service packs?
Hi
I just joined one client and here I have to migrate B2B code from 4.6 to 6.0.1. We have TN settings and ACLs and flows in pkgs. I know as we are not changing the database for TN so only we need to change the dsn to new server. But what should I do for the code. In my code we are using lot of services which is not provided in the 6. For example recordlist services as appendtoRecordlist.
Will webMethods tell me when we will migrate to 6.0.1 where should we change the service or will it be automatic within webMethods migration.
I really have no idea so need the help from experts who did the migration of B2B from 4.6 to 6.01.
In the code there are many flows in which we are using recordlist and in some services we are using as input.
Please Advice how to proceed.
TIA
Ajay
I believe even though you have 4.6 appendToRecordlist or pub.web services in 6.0 they are technically deprecated in 6.0, but it will still work as it is as expected.
And also there is no automatic way like
4.6appendtoRecordlist to 6.01appendToDocumentList)
But if you have implemented EDI then you have to use EDI migration utility for converting 4.6template to Schemas.
HTH,
Please send response to the following queries:
- What is ATC Adapter Workunits or Notifiers
- How to differentiate between Integration Server equivalents and webMethods 6 adapter equivalents
Srikanth,
As a WM starter, You better search in this site,you will find some good results based on your above queries.
goodluck,
Srikanth,
Can you provide more background on what your are attempting to do? Are you migrating from Enterprise Server / Broker to Integration Server 6.x? Do you have product documentation?
Integration Server adapters are developed using the IS adapter development kit (ADK). Adapters developed using a 6.x version of the ADK can take advantage of the architectural improvements of the 6.x platform (connection pooling, common logging, generation of services from within Developer, etc.).
IS Adapters built using an older ADK may still run on IS 6.x, but can not take advantage of the IS 6.x architecture. Most high-demand IS adapters have been ported or redeveloped to use the 6.x ADK. However, some IS and Enterprise adapters that are in lower demand have not been moved to the 6.x ADK.
Finally, the webMethods global field adapter (GFA) team can build custom adapters to spec on a project-by-project basis.
Hope that helps,
Can anyone please tell me the purpose of
- ATC Adapter Workunit or Notifier.
I searched the site. But , I was unable to find relevant answer.

Srikanth
“ATC WorkUnits” are nothing but Java programs that will be executed when a clientgroup subscribes to an Event.
PS:
Workunits, while very powerful due to their ability to perform any function Java can support, are more integration-specific and are, therefore, less reuseable and portable.
All ATC 4.1.1-based integration support Workunits (Java script).
“Notifier” It is also a part of ATC component,this will be triggered when any Event publishes to the Enterprise Broker and Notifier will notifies the subscriber about the event say for example: (insert/update/delete notifications)occured on a required DB table.

Thank you.
