Performing parallel migration for an integration node
You can use parallel migration to perform a staged migration process by creating a new Version 11.0 integration node to run in parallel with your existing integration node. You can then migrate your application logic from your existing integration node to your new integration node.
Before you begin
- Plan your migration; see Preparing for migration.
- Perform pre-migration tasks; see Performing pre-migration tasks.
- If your deployment uses functions that integrate with IBM MQ (or IBM MQ), or requires that the integration node has a specified queue manager, make sure that you have a supported version of IBM MQ. For information about IBM App Connect Enterprise functions that require IBM MQ, see Installing IBM MQ.
- If you are reusing an existing IBM MQ (orIBM MQ) deployment, migrate your queue managers and other resources to a supported version of IBM MQ by following the instructions that are provided in the IBM MQ product documentation.Note: If you are reusing an existing IBM MQ (or IBM MQ) deployment, you can configure the new IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0 integration nodes to use the same queue managers as the existing integration nodes. You do not have to create new queue managers for the new integration nodes.
- If you are installing a new IBM MQ deployment, create one or more queue managers to support the required configuration for your IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0 integration nodes.
- If you are reusing an existing IBM MQ (orIBM MQ) deployment, migrate your queue managers and other resources to a supported version of IBM MQ by following the instructions that are provided in the IBM MQ product documentation.
- Check that you have no aggregations in progress on this integration node. When you migrate an integration node to Version 11.0, all live data that is being stored for aggregations in progress is lost.
