Hi Community,

I'm looking for some best approaches, documentation if any for migration strategies. I would need info on below 2 scenarios:

1. Best practices/approach for migrating an application from other technology/tool to Appian

2. Best practices/approach for migrating data in old application.

Quick pointer on above is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Vishnu,

Here are my inputs to answer your 2nd question "2. Best practices/approach for migrating data in old application " :

1.Request you to refer the release notes of the Old & New platforms on the deprecated and removed features.
2.Make sure that you are not using any deprecated features. If you are using it i think you need to modify your code and configuration.
3.Once you do this, i suggest to do complete testing on new environment(Ex 18.2).
Suppose if you are upgrading 7.x to 18.3 , hope you are aware 18.3 use Tomcat Server and 7.9 is on JBOSS.

4.The following links may be helpful to you on this :
