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.

Migrate from standalone ActiveVOS to embedded ActiveVOS (In-place Upgrade)

If you use standalone ActiveVOS, you must migrate to embedded ActiveVOS. You cannot use standalone ActiveVOS.

To migrate from standalone ActiveVOS to embedded ActiveVOS, perform the following pre-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 . Ensure that URN java:comp/env/jdbc/ActiveVOS maps to URL java:comp/env/jdbc/ActiveVOS .

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.

Ensure that URN

java:comp/env/jdbc/ActiveVOS

maps to URL

java:comp/env/jdbc/ActiveVOS

When you run the Hub Server installer as part of the upgrade process, ensure that you install the embedded ActiveVOS.

Edit the build.properties file (In-place Upgrade)

If ActiveVOS is installed in your MDM environment, perform the following tasks to edit the

build.properties

file:

Upgrade Task	Details
Configure the database connection properties for IBM DB2	In IBM DB2 environments, before you upgrade, add the ActiveVOS database connection properties to the build.properties file in < MDM Hub installation directory >/hub/server/bin . The following sample shows the ActiveVOS database connection properties with sample entries: activevos.db.type=db2 activevos.db.server=localhost activevos.db.port=50000 activevos.db.user=AVOS activevos.db.dbname=INFA102 activevos.db.schemaname=AVOS activevos.db.jdbc.url=jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/INFA102 activevos.b4p.url=http://localhost:9080/active-bpel/services/AeB4PTaskClient-taskOperations
Configure the ActiveVOS installation directory	If the upgrade process detects that the installed version of ActiveVOS does not meet the system requirements, the upgrade process installs the required version of ActiveVOS in a new directory. To install ActiveVOS in the same directory as a previous installation, delete or comment out the following entry in the build.properties file: activevoslinstall.dir=<ActiveVOS installation directory>
