Process Migration Specification
Use a Process Migration Specification to migrate business process instances.
You have developed and deployed a business process and now need to update it. A Process Migration Specification migrates running instances of a previous version of the business process to an updated version by specifying the source and the target version.
A Process Migration Specification can migrate:
- A business process that is associated with a standard IBM Integration Designer module.
- A business process that is associated to a process application or a toolkit.
You can also use a migration specification to migrate a business process that is:
- Associated with an older version of a module to a business process that is associated to a newer version of process application or toolkit.
- Associated with an older version of a module to a business process associated with a newer version of a module.
- Associated with an older version of a process application or toolkit, to a business process associated to a newer version of a process application or toolkit.
