Creating a new deployment environment based on an existing configuration
You can export the configuration properties from an existing deployment environment, modify the properties with the IBM BPM Configuration editor, and then create another deployment environment on a different IBM® Business Process Manager installation that is similar to the exported deployment environment (a clone with modifications).
About this task
After you export the configuration properties, use the IBM BPM Configuration editor to update the exported properties to match your requirements. For example, you can update the database information to use a new set of databases, update the LDAP server to use the testing server, and update performance tuning properties to match the new environment. After you modify the properties file in the editor, you can use the BPMConfig -create command to create a new deployment environment that is a partial copy of the existing deployment environment, based on the modified file.

The databases and customer applications are not replicated to the new environment. For instructions to replicate the complete environment, see Migrating IBM BPM to new hardware.
