Identifying solution assets for migration

Solution assets are components that comprise a solution, such as definition files, workflow collections, and pages. When you migrate your solution from one environment to another, you must ensure that you migrate all of the assets that are associated with your solution.

About this task

The first step when you prepare to migrate a solution is to identify and document all of the assets that are to be migrated. This assessment includes the following types of assets:
Solution assets
IBM® Business Automation Workflow assets. These assets are created when the solution is designed in Case Builder, and they are bundled together when a solution package is created in the IBM Business Automation Workflow Case administration client .
Solution application assets
Extra assets that are packaged by using tools that are local to the product component that is used to create them:
  • Other FileNet® P8 assets. These assets are associated with the solution but managed by other FileNet P8 tools. These assets must be migrated and deployed through FileNet Deployment Manager and Process Configuration Console.
  • Other IBM and external assets. These assets are developed outside of IBM Business Automation Workflow and FileNet P8 tools. Manual changes are required to migrate and deploy these types of assets.
