This guide takes you through the steps for migrating to IBM Business Process Manager (IBM BPM) V8.6.0 from a previous version or another product.
The Interactive Migration Guide works best in supported versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox on Windows. In most instances, the generated output is restricted to supported migration scenarios. However, it might be possible to generate an unsupported set of instructions. For information about supported migration scenarios, go to the IBM Support Portal.
The Interactive Migration Guide uses rules and considerations that are described in other topics. Each of those topics is accessible to screen readers, but the Interactive Migration Guide itself is not fully accessible. For fully accessible information, use the migration topics as an alternative to using the Interactive Migration Guide.
By submitting answers to the following questions, you generate a custom set of migration instructions for common environments and scenarios.
Note: Use this migration guide only if you are migrating from IBM BPM earlier than V8.5.0. If you are switching from any edition of IBM BPM V8.5.x to V8.6.0, then you are upgrading. For instructions, see Upgrading IBM Business Process Manager.
