The MettleCI Connector Migration Tool plugin is used to automate the changing of Jobs to use Connector Stages instead of the deprecated Plug-in and Operator Stages. It uses the IBM-supplied Connector Migration Tool (AKA 'CCMT') which is provided as part of the installation media for each new version of DataStage. MettleCI provides an intelligent wrapper around the Connector Migration Tool to identify and upgrade the relevant jobs, also reporting issues that cannot be resolved by the Connector Migration Tool itself. You can use the Execute Connector Migration Tool task to invoke the Connector Migration Tool and log its output to the Bamboo log.
Configuring the Connector Migration Source Code Checkout Task
Navigate to the Artefacts configuration tab for your job and add a new definition for InfoServer Assets:
Name | Location | Copy pattern | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|
InfoServer Assets | datastage |
| Share |
Create two Bamboo Tasks in the following order:
Source Code Checkout
Execute Connector Migration Tool
Configure each task as described below
Note that you may add additional tasks in between Source Code Checkout and Execute Connector Migration Tool, however Source Code Checkout must always come before Execute Connector Migration Tool.
Using the Source Code Checkout Task user interface
Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
Click the name of an existing Export DataStage Asset task or click Add Task and then search 'DataStage' to easily locate the Export DataStage Asset task type, in order to create a new task.
Complete the following settings:
Task description | Description of the Bamboo task |
|---|---|
Disable this task | If checked, this task will be disabled |
Repository | The name of the repository |
Checkout Directory | Alternate sub-directory to which the code will be checked out. It is recommended that you leave this option empty. |
Force Clean Build | Removed the source directory and check it out again prior to each build. It is recommended that you check this option. |
