Migrating a Workspace

After you upgrade to WorkSpace 2.1, you must manually migrate any workspaces you created in a prior WorkSpace version.

Note: After performing the upgrade, you may encounter errors the first time you access your old WorkSpace projects (WorkSpace projects that have not been imported to the new WorkSpace version). You can ignore the errors.
  1. Navigate to the location of the workspace in your environment that you want to migrate.
  2. Delete the .metadata folder at the root of the workspace directory.
  3. Launch Sybase WorkSpace 2.1, indicating the workspace when prompted.

    Sybase WorkSpace launches, creating the appropriate .metadata for the workspace and creates:


    • A project called ProxyProject for automatically generated service invocation artifacts if you have a service with a Java or Business Process service binding that invokes other services.
    • A bin directory as a java default output folder. All generated files, such as .class files created during .java file compilation are output to this bin folder. In earlier versions of WorkSpace, that default location was the top-level project itself.
    • References to the JRE System Library and annotations.jar file if you have Java projects.
    • A Schemas directory. This is used to house all the XSDs required by all the other services.
      Note: Do not delete these XSD files.
