This document assumes you are familiar with AquaLogic BPM 6.0 and understand all the features used by the BPM projects being migrated.
The guidelines in this document are only for upgrading from AquaLogic BPM version 6.0 (or above) to Oracle BPM 10.3.
If your projects are currently developed or deployed on earlier versions of AquaLogic BPM, you must first upgrade to the latest 6.0.x version before moving to Oracle BPM 10.3. Refer to the Upgrade Guide for AquaLogic BPM 6.0 available at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12483_01/index.htm.
The database (JDBC) users configured for the Directory and Engine Databases must have enough privileges to perform SQL DDL (Data Definition Language) operations (like ALTER, CREATE and DROP statements). Otherwise, the Process Administrator application and the Engine will fail to migrate the structures of their SQL tables and will not to start.
If your BPM environment is integrated with ALI (AquaLogic Interaction), you must first upgrade ALI to version 6.5 before upgrading BPM. Refer to the Upgrade Guide for AquaLogic Interaction 6.5 available at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12529_01/index.htm.
Oracle BPM 10.3 requires the new LDAP Directory service of ALI 6.5 for integration.
