IBM App Connect Enterprise, Version 11.0.0.2 Operating Systems: Windows, Linux


Preparing for migration

Plan the order and extent of the migration of components and resources to IBM® App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0.

About this task

To prepare for migration, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Check that your current installation of IBM Integration Bus Version 10.0 or IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0 is at a supported level for migration. Details are provided in Supported migration paths.

    For the latest details of all supported levels of hardware and software, see the IBM App Connect Enterprise system requirements website.

  2. Some function that was available in IBM Integration Bus is not currently available in IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0; elements of this function are to be made available in fix pack updates. For details of the unavailability of commands, policy types, and other resources in IBM App Connect Enterprise at this fix pack release, see the IBM App Connect Enterprise FAQ website.
  3. Determine your migration priorities; see Migration planning.
  4. Understand the options that are available to install IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0 components on the same computer as components from IBM Integration Bus.

    For more information about the options that are available for versions of IBM App Connect Enterprise and IBM Integration Bus to coexist, see Coexistence of IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0 with previous versions of IBM Integration Bus.

  5. Learn about new and changed function in Version 11.0 by reading What's new in Version 11.0?. These changes might affect how you want to use your migrated components in the future.
  6. Understand the IBM MQ configuration options that you can include in your migration plan; see IBM MQ and migration to IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0. These changes might affect your choice of integration node migration option.
  7. Review the options for migrating your integration servers and decide whether to use extract migration or parallel migration; see IBM App Connect Enterprise migration options
  8. Review the technical changes in behavior in Version 11.0; see Behavioral changes in Version 11.0. These changes might affect your post-migration development tasks.
  9. Check the requirements for other products on which Version 11.0 components might depend. If you configured your message flows to use external resources, such as databases, or event monitoring applications, you might have to modify your configuration. You can find details of supported versions of complementary products on the IBM App Connect Enterprise system requirements web page.

What to do next

After you plan your migration, complete the pre-migration tasks by following the instructions in Performing pre-migration tasks.
