Migrating artifacts from WebSphere Process Server V7.0.x or V6.2.x
You can migrate artifacts from a previous version of WebSphere® Process Server to IBM® Business Process Manager V8.5.
About this task
The following product, version, and release level combinations are supported as sources for migrating your business data and applications to IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.
Migration Source | Migration Target (New Installation) |
---|---|
WebSphere Process Server V7.0.0.x or V6.2.0.x |
|
WebSphere Process Server functionality is included in exactly the same way whether you install IBM BPM Advanced: Process Server or you install IBM BPM Advanced and select the Process Server during installation. Any differences between installing IBM BPM Advanced and installing IBM BPM Advanced: Process Server are noted in the documentation.
If you migrate the
target runtime environment to IBM Business
Process Manager V8.5, you
can run the applications that you previously deployed, even if you
do not migrate Integration Designer or WebSphere Integration
Developer. However, if you want to edit the applications, you must
also migrate Integration Designer or WebSphere Integration
Developer to a compatible version so the major versions of the two
products match.
If you are migrating
the target runtime environment to IBM Business
Process Manager V8.5, and
want to run and edit the applications that you previously deployed,
you must install the latest version of IBM Integration
Designer on
a supported operating system, and then re-create the required applications.
Instead of migrating the source artifacts individually, you can import your existing workspace by selecting the directory where your workspace is located when IBM Integration Designer is launched. See Considerations for the IBM Integration Designer migration process before you import your existing workspace.
