Overview

Use the WPMigrate script to migrate a process portal from an earlier version of IBM WebSphere Portal to a newer version. In the same way that you migrate a basic portal environment, you migrate a process portal environment by running the portal-pre-upgrade to back up and export process portal information. Then you run the portal-post-upgrade to import that information onto the servers hosting the new versions of WebSphere Portal.

Before you run the migration tasks for a process portal environment attend to the following requirements:

• Complete the prerequisite tasks for determining the deployment scenario used in the source environment and preparing to migrate the process portal.

• Enable the WebSphere Portal server for business process integration.

Whether you are adding a BPI-enabled portal server to a managed cell in a cross-cell setup or in a single-cell setup, you can run the task...

setup-base-wp.processintegration.config

...instead of the task...

setup-wp.processintegration.config

The former task omits the creation of the portal-provided Process Integration pages.

You can choose to enable the portal server with process integration after you migrate the process portal configuration following the procedure below. If you choose this migration sequence, run only the setup-base-wp.processintegration.config task.

 

Migrate a process portal environment

1. Back up and export the artifacts of the source process portal environment...

   ./WPmigrate.sh portal-pre-upgrade 
                  -DbackupDirectory=dirname 
                  -DcurrentPortalDirectory=dirname 
                  -DcurrentPortalAdminId=adminid 
                  -DcurrentPortalAdminPwd=adminpassword 
                  -DDbPassword=dbpassword 
                  -DGroupExport=true 
                  -DProcessPortal=true
   

2. Import backed-up artifacts and content that you exported in Step 1 into the target process portal environment...

   ./WPmigrate.sh portal-post-upgrade 
                  -DbackupDirectory=dirname 
                  -DPortalAdminId=adminid 
                  -DPortalAdminPwd=adminpassword 
                  -Dmigration.vmm.database.admin.password=vmmdminpassword 
                  -Dmigration.wmm.database.admin.password=wmmadminpassword 
                  -DoldProfile=oldserverprofile 
                  -DprofileName=newserverprofile 
                  -DProcessPortal=true
   

3. Check the migration log and the target environment for missing business process applications and related resources and restore business process resources that were not migrated to the target environment.

4. Run the task:
   ./ConfigEngine.sh assign-shared-apps-portlets-wp.processintegration.config
