Starting the target environment

Start the new environment, including the deployment manager, managed node or nodes, and servers.

Figure 1. Sample environment after the target is started. The source environment is not running. The target can read from the databases.

Procedure

If you use a file-based user registry in the source environment, merge the file-based user registry into the target environment.
1. To merge the file-based user registry, run the following command:
```
BPM_home/bin/BPMMergeFileRegistry.sh -backupFolder snapshot_folder -propertiesFile migration_properties_file
```
  where snapshot_folder is the directory in which the extracted information is stored and migration_properties_file is the full path to the migration properties file in which you specified the configuration information for the target environment.
2. If you have not done so already, update the migration.properties file to specify the configuration information for the target environment. The migration.properties file is found in the BPM_home/util/migration/resources/migration.properties folder.
Start the target deployment environment:
1. Start the deployment manager.
2. Start the nodes.
3. Start the clusters.
Check to make sure that all clusters, servers, and messaging engines have started.
