Abstract
Migration Manager is a feature of Tivoli® process automation engine that enables you to migrate configuration content from one product environment to another. The typical use is to migrate configuration content from a development environment to test and then on to production. The goal of migration is to ensure your production environment fully meets the needs of your end users. This IBM® Redbooks® Solution Guide provides an overview and architecture of the Migration Manager provided by the Tivoli process automation engine and describes typical migration scenarios.

Did you know?
The Migration Manager is heavily used in migrating system configurations prior to the production environment going live. But did you know that it is also used in migrating changes to system configurations after the production environment is live? This tool is not intended to help migrate from one version of a product to a newer release.
Business value
Migration Manager offers a standardized, repeatable set of migration steps (define, create, distribute, and deploy) regardless of the content in the package. This allows development teams to focus on actual development activities and assembling the desired content into the right set of packages.
Solution overview
Configuration content represents the metadata required to execute business applications and automation. This includes information related to system configuration, integration, reporting, and security. Examples of configuration content migrated with Migration Manager include artifacts created through the database configuration, application designer, workflow, escalations and security groups. Using the Migration Manager, you can migrate configuration content from one product environment to another.
Migration Manager implements a four-step migration process that users can perform in planned and controlled manner. The process operates on a unit of migration called a package. The package is a container for product configuration data. As illustrated in Figure 2, every package has a lifecycle wherein it is:
