MDM Java API migration

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are upgrading MDM 5.5 sp 5 to 7.1, right now we are using Java API version as

Build - 5.5.42.85

Meta Protocol - 5.5.42.01 [Interface CRC=0x6fd82bce]

Admin Protocol - 5.5.42.01 [Interface CRC=0x8a653578]

Data Protocol - 5.5.42.02 [Interface CRC=0xd7396486]

Could let me know do I need to upgrade JAVA API version and what are the coding changes need to be done?

Thanks

Thanks Guys for your reply.

How do i find out whether i am using old API or not.

Is there any other way to find out that?

Thanks

Hi John,

If you have access to code then you can easily identify if you are using the Old API or the new API. If you are using new API then you must be using Classes like: ConnectionPool, SimpleConnectionFactory, RetrieveLimitedRecordsCommand, CreateRecordCommand, etc. If you are n old API you can see reference to a2i classes and CatalogData.

Hope this helps!!

Hi John,

If you are using MDM Java API 2 in your programs then you dont need to do any changes to your existing code as it will be supported on MDM 7.1. If you are using MDM Java API (MDM4J Old Version - CatalogData) then you need to upgrade the code to the new MDM Java API 2 in order to have it working in MDM 7.1 APIs. MDM 7.1 APIs use MDM Java API 2.

Hope this answers your question.
