Restarting and verifying the migration

After you migrate to IBM® Business Process Manager, restart the deployment environment and verify that the migration was successful.
Figure 1. Sample environment after migration. The source environment is not running. The target environment is running and transferring data to and from its databases.
The details of the diagram are provided in the figure caption.

Procedure

  1. IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.0.1 uses the more secure HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP.
    • If you are connecting an online Process Server to Process Center, you must import the Process Server root SSL certificate into Process Center to enable HTTPS before you start the environment. Follow the instructions in step 1 in Configuring Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication in a network deployment environment.
    • If you want to switch back to using HTTP between Process Center and online Process Servers, run the following wsadmin commands on the Process Center and each Process Server. Run the commands from the bin directory of the deployment manager. In the following example, bpdServer is the name of the Process Center.
      wsadmin -connType NONE -lang jython
      wsadmin>bpdServer=AdminConfig.list("BPMProcessCenter").split()  # Use "BPMProcessServer" for Process Server
      wsadmin>bpdServer  # You see the Process Center and Process Servers that you listed
      wsadmin>print AdminConfig.showAttribute(bpdServer[0],'useHTTPSURLPrefixes') # You see the current value
      wsadmin>AdminConfig.modify(bpdServer[0],[['useHTTPSURLPrefixes','false']]) # Set the value to false
      wsadmin>AdminConfig.save()
      Restart all deployment managers, nodes, and deployment environments for Process Center and Process Servers.
  2. Stop the server in the target environment and then restart it.
  3. For a Process Center migration, use the Process Center console and the Designer view in IBM Process Designer to verify that all process applications, toolkits, and assets are available in the repository. From the Process Center console, verify that connected servers are showing up and that previously installed snapshots are accurately listed. Use the Inspector view in IBM Process Designer to check active instances.
  4. To verify that Process Portal is working, complete the steps in Verifying Process Portal. If you migrated to IBM BPM Advanced and the other spaces (globe) icon in Process Portal does not work to navigate to other Process Portal spaces, delete your browser cache and reload the page.
