Chapter 2. MTA 6.0.1

2.1. New features and improvements

This section describes the new features and improvements of the Migration Toolkit for Applications (MTA) 6.0.1.

MTA no longer requires support for RWX volumes

Previously, MTA required support for RWX volumes, and in version 6.0.1 this is optional. The Tackle CR includes a new configuration option, rwx_supported, a Boolean parameter whose default is true.

  • When this option is set to true, the MTA Operator creates a cache volume as RWX. This volume is used by Maven as a durable local m2 cache that is shared across tasks.
  • When it is set to false, the Maven m2 cache will be local with each task. You can always configure the Maven cache separately.
Note

If you upgrade from version 6.0.0 to version 6.0.1, you can set this parameter after the upgrade.
