Workflow Migration From Source to Target Environment Using Migration Manager | IBM Maximo

Migration Manager migrates configuration content from one product environment to another. You typically migrate configuration content from a development environment to a test environment and then to a production environment.
After you develop and configure your applications, you can migrate the configurations to a test environment. After testing the configurations, you can migrate them to a production environment. By using Migration Manager, you can migrate iterative configuration changes in a planned and controlled manner.

To migrate the configuration content, you organize it into packages. The packages go through a series of steps that make up the migration process. Some steps occur in the originating environment, called the source environment, and some steps occur in the destination environment, called the target environment.

We will take the example of simple workflow migration for basic understanding of migration manager.

Workflow Migration:

Source Server Steps:

• Goto > System Configuration > Migration > Migration Groups

• Create New Migration Group and enter Name, Description
• Select desired Object Structures to migrate, in this case we are going to migrate a workflow, for that object structure selected here is DMWFPROCESS.

• Goto > System Configuration > Migration > Migration Manager

• Create New PACKAGE DEFINITION by using New button

• Enter Name (WF_Transfer), Description (Workflow Transfer)
• Click on the Expression icon and Enter the Process name & Revision Number in Where clause expression for which you wish to migrate.

• Click on Select Action > Manage Targets

• Add Target Database server Information

• Move on to Package tab and Click Create Package

• Click Continue

• For Distribution of Package to Destination/ Target Server, Select the Target and Click Distribute

• Package is now Distributed Successfully.

Destination / Target Server Steps:

• Now move to Destination Production Server.
• Go to Migration Manager -> Select Action-> Deploy Package.

• Preview the Package by selecting all check boxes and click Deploy.

• After Successful Preview. Now Deploy the Package without Selecting Preview.

Package is now Deployed Successfully on Destination.

Now you can check the migrated workflow in Workflow Designer Application.
