Before you begin
This type of migration is not recommended for the reasons described in this topic.- Exporting existing assets from your current version
You can export existing assets using the Process Center Console. - Backing up existing installations
Backups enable you to save files and settings to transfer to the new IBM BPM V8.0.1 installations. - Itemizing customizations
Before you perform the migration, make a list of any customizations you have made to your existing installations and ensure that you have a backup copy of your customized files. - Backing up databases
Before you migrate to IBM BPM V8.0.1, create backup copies of your existing databases. - Installing IBM BPM V8.0.1 for migration
Install the Process Center and then install a Process Server for each runtime environment that you require (for example, staging, test, and production environments). - Applying customizations
Compare your customized files from the backups of your existing installations with the corresponding files in the new IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1 installations to ensure that all of your settings are correctly applied to the new installations. - Importing existing assets into IBM BPM V8.0.1
Use the Process Center Console to import assets into IBM BPM V8.0.1. - Verifying implementations
