Migration Overview

WebLogic Integration provides the tools that businesses need to develop new applications, integrate new and existing systems, streamline business processes, and connect with trading partners. It makes it possible for an enterprise to integrate multiple applications of its own (intraenterprise integration) and to integrate its own applications with those of other enterprises (interenterprise integration). The WebLogic Integration tools support the following types of functionality:

• Application Integration

• Business Process Management (BPM)

• Business-to-Business Integration (B2B)

• Data Integration

Before the release of BEA WebLogic Integration 2.0, the business process management functionality was available in the WebLogic Process Integrator product, and the business-to-business integration functionality was available in the WebLogic Collaborate product.

Why Migrate?

• WebLogic Integration 2.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1) requires additional database entities not required for WebLogic Integration 2.1. For compatibility with WebLogic Integration 2.1 Service Pack 1, you must update your existing WebLogic Integration 2.1 repository with these additional database entities.

• 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 or 1.2.1, or WebLogic Collaborate 1.0 or 1.0.1, you must migrate your existing database and security realm for compatibility with WebLogic Integration 2.1.
