Perform upgrade of TIBCO components / Migration from TIBCO BW 5.X to 5.Y

These are the example steps for migrating from domain "OLD" to domain "NEW".

1.We have a writable directory to export the applications to. Let's call it $BATCHDIR.

2.We should know the actual username and password for the old and new domains.

3.Make sure both domains are running.

4.cd to $TRA_HOME/tra/<ver>/bin/ , lets say /utils/tibco/tra/5.3/bin/

5.Use this command to create a batch file and export .ear files and configuration files: "AppManage -batchExport -domain OLD -user tibco -pw tibco -dir $BATCHDIR "

6.To import all of the applications without starting them, use this command: "AppManage -batchDeploy -domain NEW -user tibco -pw tibco -dir $BATCHDIR -nostart"

If we want to automatically start the applications after deploying, leave off the -nostart parameter. If we don't want to deploy all the applications, modify the $BATCHDIR/AppManage.batch file by commenting or deleting the applications we don't want to deploy.

Typically after we do the batch deploy, we manually stop all of the engines in the old domain, then manually start the engines in the new domain, then stop the old domain itself. This leaves the old domain intact in case something went wrong with the deployments, but it no longer uses any resources.

Business needs may require us to have an engine running at all times, so we could start the new engines before stopping the old engines, but we should make sure they will not conflict with each other first.

Improvements to the AppManage utility in TRA version 5.3 give even more control over working with multiple engines.

Pain points which needs to put light in migration

Is all the Services are scripted deployed or not, in OLD domain?
If few of them manual deployment How to go about it?
How to convert everything to Scripted deployment going forward to ease further enhancements?
Memory Issues (Physical as well as RAM), System requirements due to migration?
Get to know the Basic difference of versions (old and new), e.g. Kind of repository used?
What causes engine startup error due to migration?
How to automate these entire process?
Can be divided into sections Export, Process & Import ?
Is services falls under LB as well as FT?
What are all adapters involved?
Carefully diagonize the difference this is where you end up more processing ?
