  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.5.0.1 doesn't provide
    adequate function to handle IBM BPM configuration, which
    requires you redo the customization that you did on the source
    environment after migration. Furthermore, it's difficult and
    error-prone to edit the BPM configuration properties file
    without a GUI.
    
    In IBM BPM V8.5.0.1, you cannot remove deployment environments
    or nodes or add or remove cluster members, nor can you retarget
    or validate an IBM BPM database connection or clone the
    environment on the saved version.

Problem conclusion

  • A fix is available called the Configuration Migration Tool V1.1,
    which is an as-is service asset that you use on top of IBM BPM
    V8.5.0.1 to perform the following actions:
    
    ? Migrating IBM BPM V7.5.1 to IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 with a target
    environment that is set up with over 300 source-environment
    basic properties around the database, security, and the most
    important performance parameters to the your environment
    ? Augmenting the topology to remove deployment environments or
    nodes and add or remove cluster members
    ? Retargeting and validating a database
    ? Cloning the environment by extracting the IBM BPM V8.5.0.1
    configuration, updating it, and applying the changes
    
    This tool also includes a web user interface that you can use to
    load, update, and save a properties file.
