The following provides available information about migrating from previous versions of the Globus Toolkit.
RFT no longer requires an externally running PostgresSQL server to be running. Included with the distribution of RFT is an embedded derby database. The database is automatically installed and configured at the time RFT is installed.
The public interfaces to Java WS Core (on which RFT is based) have changed and are not backwards compatible. For information on updating your services, see Section 1, “Updating higher level services”.
The RFT implementations in GT4 and GT3 are not interoperable, as they are built on different GT core implementations. In order to migrate to GT4 RFT you should follow the installation instructions, which can be found in Installing GT 4.2.1.
