IBM App Connect Enterprise migration options

IBM® App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0 supports parallel migration and extract migration to migrate your application logic to Version 11.0 systems.

If you want to reproduce the integration node function on another computer, you can use parallel migration to associate the application logic on your existing integration node with a separate Version 11.0 integration node.

By using extract migration, you can migrate existing integration node and integration server configuration and resources to IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0.

Restrictions

Consider the following restrictions before deciding whether to use parallel migration for your integration nodes.

IBM MQ enhancements

Greater flexibility was introduced in IBM Integration Bus Version 10.0 in its interactions with IBM MQ; IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0 maintains this enhanced flexibility. Ensure that you are using a supported version of IBM MQ to take advantage of the greater flexibility.

If you use parallel migration, you can install and configure an IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0 deployment that takes advantage of the IBM MQ flexibility, and then move your applications into the Version 11.0 deployment.

For more information, see IBM MQ and migration to IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0.

Maintaining administration security

If you have administration security configured in your current environment by using IBM MQ queues, and you perform parallel migration, you must recreate the equivalent administration security settings by using file-based permissions on your new integration nodes; see Authorizing users for administration.
