If you are moving from on-premise to cloud, I would recommend contacting your account team or opening a support ticket. Appian can help you with this migration and can provide the right steps for your environments.

In order to achieve this upgrading as per the following documentation is the only supported method:

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.3/Upgrade_Guide.html

However, instead of moving between a lower to higher version as per the above guide, you will need to move between the same exact versions.(Same Hotfix as well). Hope this helps.

We are moving from on-premise to cloud. So the cloud environment will be newly setup

Hi Tanvir,
the detailed course of action depends where your instance is running at - on Cloud or on-premise.
The generic schema would be:
Check-pointing all your engines.
Shutdown source environment
Backup database, documents, kdbs
Shut down target environment
Copy above items to the target instance
Bring up target instance

Please be aware that this approach moves all active instances from the source environment to the target environment and overwrites prior existing
tasks in the target environment.

A more selective way would be maybe calling APIs in the target environment, starting the desired process model there. Which of course requires
some changes to existing process models.
