Mapping your source environment to IBM BPM V8.5.5

If you are planning to migrate your business data and applications to IBM® Business Process Manager V8.5.5, the topology of your target environment depends on your current source environment.

The following table provides the most common mapping examples for the product, version, and release level combinations that are supported as sources for migrating to IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.5. Other possible mappings include mapping a single-cluster topology to a 3-cluster topology, and mapping a multiple-cluster topology to a single-cluster topology. The latter is likely not an appropriate choice for production environments.
