Migrating test cases from older versions of DataStage¶

Users of IBM® DataStage® v11.x who built DataStage unit tests using MettleCI will be familiar with the YAML syntax used to specify those unit tests. Test cases for Cloud Pak DataStage are different in that they are specified using JSON rather than YAML. Despite this syntactic difference, the options and structure of a test specification remain identical.

Existing MettleCI unit tests are easily migrated into DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data using the mettleci unittest migrate command available in the MettleCI command line. The documentation for this command describes the process you need to undertake to safely migrate your tests to Cloud Pak.
