• Application Integration

• Business Process Management (BPM)

Prior to this release the BPM was referred to as WebLogic Process Integrator (WLPI) and B2B was referred to as WebLogic Collaborate (WLC).

Why Migrate?

BEA WebLogic Integration 2.1 uses a new database schema and security model. If you are using WebLogic Integration 2.0, WebLogic Process Integrator 1.2/1.2.1 or WebLogic Collaborate 1.0/1.0.1, you must migrate your existing database and security realm for compatibility with WebLogic Integration 2.1.
