      • migrate

        @ThingworxExtensionApiMethod(since={7,1},
                                     canOverride=true)
        public abstract void migrate(ImportedEntityCollection imports)
                                                                                                                       throws java.lang.Exception


        Perform the migration of the extension. It is called before entities are imported and must be implemented by the subclass in order to execute during an import. This will get called once for each subclass.
        Parameters:
        imports - The collection of entities to be migrated. Once migrate() is complete, these entities will be imported.
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception
      • postMigrate

        @ThingworxExtensionApiMethod(since={7,1},
                                     canOverride=true)
        public void postMigrate(ImportedEntityCollection imports)
                                                                                                                  throws java.lang.Exception


        Post-migrate hook to allow subclasses to perform custom logic after the migrate() has been performed. Typically, this would be the location for any type of cleanup work to be done. This is an optional hook to implement and is called once for each subclass.
        Parameters:
        imports - The collection of entities that have been migrated and imported.
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception
      • getFromVersion

        @ThingworxExtensionApiMethod(since={7,1})
        public final EntityVersion getFromVersion()

        EntityVersion
      • getToVersion

        @ThingworxExtensionApiMethod(since={7,1})
        public final EntityVersion getToVersion()


        Returns the version that the extension will be migrated to. Cannot be overridden by subclasses. The version returned is the same as the version of the extension that the migrator is packaged with.
        Returns:
        EntityVersion
