Prepare the BPM Upgrade

Perform the following tasks to prepare for the BPM upgrade:

Choose a workflow adapter

Review the following upgrade options for workflow adapters, and choose the upgrade option that suits your needs:

Current Workflow Adapter	Upgrade Options
SIPERIAN	Deprecated. Option 1 Keep SIPERIAN as the primary workflow adapter. Option 2 Upgrade to the BE ActiveVOS workflow adapter based on business entities. You must have a business entity configuration to use the BE ActiveVOS workflow adapter. For more information, see Migrating IDD Applications to the Business Entity Data Model .
Informatica ActiveVOS	This workflow adapter is based on subject areas and operates using SIF APIs. Option 1 Keep Informatica ActiveVOS as the primary workflow adapter. Option 2 Upgrade to the BE ActiveVOS workflow adapter based on business entities. You must have a business entity configuration to use the BE ActiveVOS workflow adapter. For more information, see the Multidomain MDM Data Director Migration Guide .
BE ActiveVOS	This workflow adapter is based on business entities and operates using business entity services. You must use the version of ActiveVOS that is defined in the Product Availability Matrix. If an older version is detected in your environment, the upgrade process installs the required version of ActiveVOS.

Prepare to move from standalone ActiveVOS to embedded ActiveVOS (In-place Upgrade)

If you are upgrading existing machines and want to move from standalone ActiveVOS to embedded ActiveVOS, perform the following upgrade tasks:

Upgrade Task	Description
Remove the ActiveVOS data sources	If the standalone ActiveVOS server is in the same JBoss instance, WebSphere profile, or WebLogic domain as Multidomain MDM , remove the data source for ActiveVOS from the application server.
Edit the URN mapping in a WebSphere environment	Launch the ActiveVOS Console. In a browser, type the following URL, substituting the correct host name and port number: Secure connections. https://<host>:<port>/activevos Non-secure connections. http://<host>:<port>/activevos In the ActiveVOS Console, on the Home page, click Administration Configure Server URN Mappings .
