This guide takes you through the steps for migrating to IBM Business Process Manager (IBM BPM) V8.5 from a previous version or another product.
For upgrading from V8.5 to V8.5.0.2, see Profile upgrade instructions for IBM Business Process Manager Version 8.5.0 Fix Pack 2 (V8.5.0.2).
The Interactive Migration Guide works best in supported versions of Firefox on Windows 7. To report problems with using this guide, use the feedback link. In most instances, the generated output is restricted to supported migration scenarios. However, it might be possible to generate an unsupported set of instructions. For information about supported migration scenarios, go to the IBM Support Portal.
The Interactive Migration Guide uses rules and considerations that are described in other topics in this information center. Each of those topics is accessible to screen readers, but the Interactive Migration Guide itself is not fully accessible. For fully accessible information, use the migration topics in the information center as an alternative to using the Interactive Migration Guide.
By submitting answers to the following questions, you generate a custom set of migration instructions for common environments and scenarios.

Note: The following links to information center topics might lead to topics for the Advanced product. The instructions in these particular topics apply to Advanced: Process Server, but topics that they link to, or others in the Advanced section of the information center might apply only to Advanced. Use the Advanced: Process Server section of the navigation tree to find topics that apply only to your product.
