Before you begin

Do the following before beginning the migration process:

1. Take a backup of the following:

a. Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge workspace

Manually copy the BPM Studio workspace folder to any another location in your computer.

b. OpenEdge Database

Before you start the backup process, stop the AppServers/JBOSS Server and the database by using stopEjbServer.sh, stopEjbServer.cmd/sh, stopPortalServer.sh, and stopsbmdb.sh respectively.

Your schema can become corrupt during the conversion or the migration process. If the conversion/migration fails, your database cannot be recovered. Therefore, you must take a backup of your database if you have to restore the database and begin the conversion/migration again.
