A Model for Planning Your Oracle BPM 10g Migration by Kris Nelson
- by JuergenKress
As the Oracle SOA Suite and BPM Suite 12c products enter beta, many of our clients are starting to discuss migrating from the Oracle 10g or prior platforms. With the BPM Suite 11g,
Oracle introduced a major change in architecture with a strong focus on
integration with SOA and an entirely new technology stack. In addition,
there were fresh new UIs and a renewed business focus with an improved
Process Composer and features like Adaptive Case Management. While very
beneficial to both technology and the business, the fundamental change
in architecture does pose clear migration challenges for clients who
have made investments in the 10g platform. Some of the key challenges facing 10g customers include:
Managing in-process instance migration and running multiple process engines
Migration of User Interfaces and other code within the environment that may not be automated
Growing or finding technical staff with both 10g and 12c experience
Managing migration projects while continuing to move the business forward and meet day-to-day responsibilities
As a former practitioner in a mixed 10g/11g
shop, I wrestled with many of these challenges as we tried to plan
ahead for the migration. Luckily, there is migration tooling on the way
from Oracle and several approaches you can use in planning your
migration efforts. In addition, you already have a defined and visible
process on the current platform, which will be invaluable as you
migrate.
A Migration ModelThis model presents several
options across a value and investment spectrum. The goal of the AVIO
Migration Model is to kick-start discussions within your company and
assist in creating a plan of action to take advantage of the new
platform. As with all models, this is a framework for discussion and
certain processes or situations may not fit. Please contact us if you have specific questions or want to discuss migrations efforts in your situation. Read the complete article here.
