[Anonymous]

Hi,

as it took some time for me to figure out how to re-use 2.5 tools on 3.0 let me post it here.

BTW- Is there anybody out there with some useful tools to share?

Manually Converting a Tool From SCM 2.5 to 3.0

When you upgrade from SCM 2.5 to 3.0, your tools should automatically be converted from a TDEF file to a new XML tool definition file. If you need to manually convert tools after the upgrade, you can use the following procedure.

To manually convert a tool



Step 1. Create the XML file from the TDEF using the conversion tool:

/opt/mx/lbin/def2xml -t tdef_filename xml_filename

where tdef_filename is the name of the original TDEF file and xml_filename is the name of the new XML file.
Step 2. Add the tool to SCM:

mxtool -a -f xml_filename

where xml_filename is the name of the new XML file.
Step 3. Verify the tool:

mxtool -ld -t "Tool Name"

where Tool Name is the name of the new tool.
