Extracting advanced applications and SIB messages

If you are migrating an Advanced or AdvancedOnly deployment environment, you must extract the advanced IBM® BPM applications and service integration bus (SIB) messages from your source environment. For a Standard or Express environment, you can skip this step.

Before you begin

Make sure that all failed event messages are resubmitted or removed before you migrate your environment, because failed event messages are not migrated. You can check the failed event messages in your deployment environment in the administrative console.

Procedure

To extract the advanced applications and SIB messages, complete the following steps in the source environment:

  1. Update the source_install_root/util/migration/resources/migration.properties file to point to your source environment. Update the following properties:
    admin.username=admin
    admin.password=admin
    
    bpm.home=E:/bpm8560
    profile.name=DmgrProfile
    
    source.application.cluster.name=
    source.support.cluster.name=
    source.messaging.cluster.name=
  2. Run the BPMManageApplications command to disable the automatic starting of your applications and schedulers.
    install_root/bin/BPMManageApplications -autoStart false -source -propertiesFile source_migration_properties_file
  3. Restart your source environment, including servers, nodes, and the deployment manager.
  4. Run the BPMExtractSourceInformation command to extract the advanced applications and SIB messages and create a snapshot in the folder that you specify.
    BPMExtractSourceInformation -backupFolder folder_path  -propertiesFile migration_properties_file
  5. Stop your source environment.
