Migrating to IBM Integration Designer from WebSphere MQ Workflow
IBM Integration Designer provides the necessary tools to migrate from WebSphere MQ Workflow.
The Migration wizard converts the FDL definitions of business processes that you exported from the build time component of WebSphere MQ Workflow into corresponding artifacts in IBM Integration Designer. The generated artifacts comprise XML schema definitions for business objects, WSDL definitions, BPEL, import and component definitions, and TEL definitions.
The conversion tool requires a semantically complete FDL definition of a process model that you export from WebSphere MQ Workflow build time with the option export deep. This option ensures that all necessary data, program, and subprocess specifications are included. Also, ensure that any user defined process execution server definitions (UPES) referenced in your WebSphere MQ Workflow process model are also selected when you export FDL from the WebSphere MQ Workflow build time.
The Migration wizard does not cover the migration of:
- WebSphere MQ Workflow runtime instances
- Program applications that are invoked by a WebSphere MQ Workflow program execution agent (PEA) or WebSphere MQ Workflow process execution server (PES for z/OS)
For more information on migrating
using the FDL2BPEL conversion tool, see 
WebSphere MQ Workflow support site.

Preparing for migration from WebSphere MQ Workflow
Before migrating to IBM Integration Designer from WebSphere MQ Workflow, first ensure that you have properly prepared your environment. - Migrating WebSphere MQ Workflow using the Migration wizard
The Migration wizard enables you to convert FDL definitions of business processes that you exported from the build time component of WebSphere MQ Workflow into corresponding artifacts in IBM Integration Designer. The generated artifacts comprise XML schema definitions for business objects, WSDL definitions, BPEL, import and component definitions, and TEL definitions. - Verifying the WebSphere MQ Workflow migration
If the migration completes with a list of errors, warnings, or informational messages, they will be displayed in the Migration Results window. If the migration was successfully completed, the wizard window will close.
