Upgrading to IBM Business Automation Workflow V18.0.0.x or V19.0.0.x

To upgrade IBM Business Process Manager Advanced or IBM Business Process Manager Standard V8.6.x or V8.5.x to IBM Business Automation Workflow Enterprise V18.0.0.x or V19.0.0.x, or to upgrade IBM Business Automation Workflow Enterprise or IBM Business Automation Workflow Express V18.0.0.x or V19.0.0.x to V19.0.0.3, follow the instructions for your specific configuration to install the upgrade.

Restriction: You cannot upgrade from IBM Business Process Manager Express to IBM Business Automation Workflow Express. Use migration instead. If you are migrating to a version earlier than V19.0.0.2, you must use artifact migration.

During the upgrading process, you install a new release of the product on top of the previous release and update the existing installation, configuration, and database in place. You must back up your profiles and databases before upgrading. A profile defines a unique runtime environment, with separate command files, configuration files, and log files.
