IBM Business Process Manager Interactive Migration Guide

This guide takes you through the steps for migrating to IBM Business Process Manager (IBM BPM) V8.5.6 from a previous version or another product.

The Interactive Migration Guide works best in supported versions of Internet Explorer on Windows 7. In most instances, the generated output is restricted to supported migration scenarios. However, it might be possible to generate an unsupported set of instructions. For information about supported migration scenarios, go to the IBM Support Portal.

The Interactive Migration Guide uses rules and considerations that are described in other topics. Each of those topics is accessible to screen readers, but the Interactive Migration Guide itself is not fully accessible. For fully accessible information, use the migration topics as an alternative to using the Interactive Migration Guide.

Select options that best suit your migration scenario

By submitting answers to the following questions, you generate a custom set of migration instructions for common environments and scenarios.

Note: If you are switching from IBM BPM V8.5.6 Standard edition to Advanced edition, or from any edition of IBM BPM V8.5.x to V8.5.6, then you are upgrading. For instructions, see Upgrading IBM Business Process Manager.

Note: The following links to information center topics might lead to topics for the Advanced product. The instructions in these particular topics apply to Advanced - Process Server, but topics that they link to, or others in the Advanced section of the information center might apply only to Advanced. Use the Advanced - Process Server section of the navigation tree to find topics that apply only to your product.
