migration from 4.5 to 6

wlkanth

I need to convert from OpenDeploy script 4.5 tp 6.0, I mean from cfg to xml.
I could replace much of the script with xml tags and and left with some which I could not do as I am confused to replace with what tags.
Please let me know any utility to migrate from 4.5 to 6.0 and If possible can someone modify the below code to xml version.

function printPostDeployProc(PROC,OUTFILE,LOCATION,USER)
{
print "\tdeploy_run_script=" PROC >> OUTFILE

if (LOCATION == "Client")
{
print "\t\twhen=client_after_deploy" >> OUTFILE
}

if (LOCATION == "Server")
{
print "\t\tas=" USER >> OUTFILE
print "\t\twhen=server_after_deploy" >> OUTFILE
}

print "\t\t;" >> OUTFILE
return 0
}

function printStopStart(DIRENV,APPID,RESTARTTYPE,OUTFILE)
{
print "\t deploy_run_script=/" DIRENV "/wasad/scripts/wasStop" RESTARTTYPE " " APPID >> OUTFILE
print "\t\t as=wasadmin" >> OUTFILE
print "\t\t when=server_after_deploy" >> OUTFILE
print "\t\t ;" >> OUTFILE
print "\t deploy_run_script=/" DIRENV "/wasad/scripts/wasStart" RESTARTTYPE " " APPID >> OUTFILE
print "\t\t as=wasadmin" >> OUTFILE
print "\t\t when=server_after_deploy" >> OUTFILE
print "\t\t ;" >> OUTFILE
return 0
}


Thanks,
Kanth

What I would suggest you do is take a complete 4.x OD config file and use the cfg2xml utility (hmm, this doesn't appear to be shipped with OD6 - you might need to check with Support on that) - and create a fully translated version of the config file (the cfg2xml utility generally gets you about 75% of the way there, after that you need to do some hand-massaging sometimes).

Once you have both an old and new version of the configuration file - you can look at your code and figure out how you need to change it to work with the XML style configuration file.

Alternatively do the conversion by-hand -- the more you get to understand how the new-style configuration files are written, the easier it will be for you to figure out how to adjust your code that is responsible for generating such configuration files on the fly (or perhaps you abandon that approach altogether once you understand all the various bits and pieces of the later versions functionality?)
