Applying customizations

Compare your customized files from the backups of your existing installations with the corresponding files in the new IBM® Business Process Manager V8.5.6 installations to ensure that all of your settings are correctly applied to the new installations.

Ensure that you applied customized settings for the following artifacts:

• Configuration files and settings
  Note: If you customized the length of tracked fields in the Performance Data Warehouse database, update the value of the max-length-of-string-columns property for the database. For more information, see Extending the maximum number of characters in tracked performance data.
• Application server database connection pool settings and tuning parameters
• Email templates
• Logging configurations
• Customized files such as CSS files, CoachDesigner.xsl, images, HTML files, and JAR files, by taking the following steps:
  • Include as managed assets the customized files in your current version that are not yet added to process applications or toolkits.
  • If you customized CoachDesigner.xsl, upload it as a managed asset so that you can use it in place of the default .xsl file that is installed as part of the migration.
    Note: Starting in WebSphere® Lombardi Edition version 7.2.0, CoachDesigner.xsl is a managed asset.
