Exporting SIB messages and applications from the source environment
Take a snapshot of your source
environment to export the service integration bus (SIB) messages and
advanced IBM® BPM applications.
You will import the messages and applications to the target environment
in a later step. You need one snapshot for each deployment environment
in your source cell. You do not need a separate snapshot for each
profile in your source cell.
Figure 1. Sample environment after the source is
shut down for migration. The source environment can still read from
the databases but can no longer write to them. The target is not running
but contains a deployment environment.
Before you begin
If the source environment is a network deployment environment, ensure that the deployment manager, node agent, and clusters have been started. If the source environment is a stand-alone environment, ensure that the stand-alone server has been started.
About this task
Run the BPMExtractSourceInformation utility
to export the SIB messages and advanced applications from your previous
environment so that you can later import them into your new environment.
Important: If you decide to make configuration changes to the
source environment based on your configuration in the new installation,
remember that you must run the utility again to take a new snapshot.
Procedure
For each deployment environment in your source environment, complete the following steps:
Results
Depending on your environment,
you might see some of the following folders under your snapshot_folder/cell_name:
Folder | Contents |
---|---|
Adapters | Adapter configurations at the application level |
Applications | WebSphere® Application Server applications and HTM_PredefinedTask system applications |
BLAs and CompositionUnits | Assets used by business-level applications |
Messages | Service integration bus (SIB) messages that have not yet been processed in the source environment |
