Migrating from a previous version of the Host Access Toolkit

The Host Access Toolkit is installed separately from Host On-Demand, and without regard for the version of Host On-Demand that is installed.

Host Access Beans for Java™ and Host Access Class Library applications and applets that are written using a previous version of the Host Access Toolkit will work with Host Access Toolkit Version 14.0, provided that these applications and applets were compiled with IBM Java™ 1.6 or later. The reason for this is the fact that all the new Host Access Beans for Java (jars) come with IBM JDK 1.6 compilation level.

If the Host Access Class Library applications and applets were compiled on a JDK less than 1.6, these application/applets will need to be recompiled with a JDK compiler later than or equal to IBM JDK 1.6.
