Application Server information center.On the migration source system, use the BPMSnapshotSourceProfile command from the bin directory to create a snapshot directory containing the configuration files that will be migrated. Use the -remoteMigration option to indicate that the target profile will not be created on the same machine. This option saves additional configuration information from the source profile that will be used during remote migration.
For example, to snapshot a source profile named sourceProfile1 located in the ProcServer8010 installation root directory to the /MigrationSnapshots/ProcServer8010 snapshot directory, use the following syntax:
For more information about the BPMSnapshotSourceProfile command, see the BPMSnapshotSourceProfile command topic.
Create a compressed file of the source snapshot directory, copy it to the target system, and extract it there.
On the migration target system, create the target profile using the BPMCreateTargetProfile command. This profile will not be ready for use until the BPMMigrateProfile command is used to migrate the source profile to the new target profile.
For example, to create a target profile for the migration using the source profile named sourceProfile1 that was copied to the /MigrationSnapshots/ProcServer8010 snapshot directory, use the following syntax:
For more information about the BPMCreateTargetProfile command, see the BPMCreateTargetProfile command topic.
Migrate the source profile to the target profile using the BPMMigrateProfile command. This command will read the configuration information from the snapshot directory specified by the BPMSnapshotSourceProfile command and copied over to the target system, and migrate it to the target profile.
For example, to migrate the source profile named sourceProfile1 in the /MigrationSnapshots/ProcServer8010 directory to the target profile, use the following syntax:
On the Windows operating system, even if security is enabled, the -username and -password parameters do not have to be specified if the server is running as a Windows service. In this case, the parameters are automatically passed into the script that the Windows service uses to shut down the system.

Use the BPMMigrationStatus command to verify the current state of the migration.
