Migrating from previous versions of WebSphere Integration Developer

You can migrate from previous versions of WebSphere Integration Developer to IBM Integration Designer V8.0.1. This is referred to as version-to-version migration.

Migrating to IBM Integration Designer V8.0.1 preserves the basic structure of your existing application with minimal required reconfiguration.

If you are migrating the target runtime environment to IBM BPM V8.0.1, you will be able to run the applications that you previously deployed, even if you have not migrated WebSphere Integration Developer. However, if you want to edit the applications, you must also migrate WebSphere Integration Developer to a compatible version so the major versions of the two products match.

If that instead of migrating the source artifacts individually, you can import your existing workspace by selecting the directory where your workspace is located when IBM Integration Designer is launched. It is important that you refer to the topic, "Considerations for the version to version migration process" below before you import your existing workspace.
