Migrate connector project from Windows platform to other platforms

Before you migrate the connector project, verify that the project is available on the Windows platform.

Open the command prompt on the Windows platform and navigate to

%ICT_HOME%\tools\scripts

Run

ict.bat backupProject <source_dir> <destination_dir\FileName.zip>

to back up the connector project.

Specify the following arguments:

source_dir: The source directory of your connector project .
destination_dir: The directory where you want to save the backup file.
FileName: File name for the backup file.

The

<FileName>.zip

backup file is created in the specified directory.

Copy the

<FileName>.zip

file from the Windows platform to the target platform.

To restore the connector project, run

ict.bat restoreProject <source_dir> <destination_dir\FileName.zip>

from the target platform command prompt.

Specify the following arguments:

source_dir: The path of your
<FileName>.zip
file.
destination_dir: The directory where you want to save the connector project.
FileName: File name for the extracted connector project.

Set the environment variables

ICT_HOME

ECLIPSE_HOME

JAVA_HOME

and

ANT_HOME

on the target platform.

Run

ict.bat generateCode <source_dir>

to generate the connector code and the

build.xml

file.

Specify the path of the connector project in

<source_dir>

Run

ict.bat buildAdapter <source_dir>

to compile and deploy the connector project.

Specify the path of the connector project in

<source_dir>
