Migrating and deploying case management solutions

After you develop and test a case management solution, you can migrate the solution to another environment. After you migrate a solution to a development environment, you can edit, deploy, and test the solution. After you migrate a solution to the production environment, you can deploy the solution to make it available to your case workers.

Solution migration and deployment
You can migrate a solution from one development environment to another development environment, a test environment, or a production environment. After you develop and test a case management solution, you must deploy the solution in the production environment to make the solution available for your case workers.
Preparing for solution migration
To help you prepare for migration, identify and collect information about the solution assets that you want to migrate. In addition, prepare a comprehensive set of migration and deployment instructions that are tailored for your environment and solution applications. If your solution package includes assets that are managed by FileNet® P8, you must create the FileNet Deployment Manager deployment tree and environment definition.
Migrating solutions
To migrate a solution, you export the solution assets that were defined in Case Manager Builder and optionally other solution application artifacts from the development environment. You then import the assets to the new environment.
Deploying migrated solutions
Deploying a solution makes it available as an application in the target environment.
Configuring the target environment after solution deployment
After you migrate a solution and deploy the solution package and its related assets, you must configure some system settings to make the solution operational.
Modifying solutions after deployment
If you update the solution design, you can redeploy the solution to a production object store that already contains cases for the solution. Modifying a case and redeploying it affects existing case data and new case data. Before you modify a solution that was deployed into production, you must plan for how the changes affect both your new cases and existing cases.
Verifying solution deployment
Verify your solution completely in your test and pre-production environments before you deploy the solution into production. After you deploy the solution, test the solution to verify that all of the components are working correctly.
