Migrating stored Messages

You can migrate stored Messages from one runtime repository to another. You can do this when you upgrade and when you migrate from one environment to another. When you migrate stored Messages, all Composition Center resources are included in the migration.

Migration overview

1	Export the stored Messages from the source environment. See To export stored Messages from the source environment below.

2	In an upgrading scenario you must upgrade all Projects related to the stored Messages you want to migrate.

3	Deploy the Projects and start the corresponding StreamServer applications. You must do this to create the Message storage tables in the target runtime repository.

4	Import the stored Messages to the target environment. See To import stored Messages to the target environment below.
