Get started with the migration toolkit for runtimes web console

The web console for the migration toolkit for runtime allows an individual or a team of users to assess and prioritize migration and modernization efforts for a large number of applications. You can install the console on a laptop or server, or on OpenShift. Here are instructions on how to get started.

Option 1:  Install locally

  1. Download the ZIP archive.
  2. Extract the ZIP archive.
  3. Check if your machine meets the prerequisites. (Note: MTR requires that either OpenJDK 11 or Oracle JDK 11 is installed; no other JDKs are supported.)
  4. Start the web console. (Note: In Microsoft Windows ‘run_windup.bat’ can be used instead): $ ./mtr-<version>-web-console/run_windup.sh
  5. Access the migration toolkit for runtimes web console at http://localhost:8080/windup-ui.
  6. Use the migration toolkit for runtimes web console to analyze the sample application (jee-example-app-1.0.0.ear) included in the ZIP file’s samples folder.
