Backups enable you to keep 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 you have a backup copy of your customized files. - Verifying database privileges
Verify that you have the necessary privileges to access the database in each runtime environment you are migrating. - 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. - Upgrading existing databases
Use the upgradeProcessData command to modify your existing database schemas and data for use with IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1. - Verifying the migration
Use the Process Center Console and IBM Process Designer to verify the migration. - Exporting and importing process assets
Export all assets from previous versions and import them into IBM BPM V8.0.1 if there is no need to retain runtime data and instances.
