The migration process consists of two parts, export and import. The export can extract data from WebFOCUS 7.1.x, 7.6.x, or 7.7.x environments. On Windows, a .bat file is used to export the content. On UNIX or Linux, a corresponding .sh script is used.

The data is extracted into a file structure consisting of XML files and folders. This extract structure is used for the import. The import process reads the extracted file structure and imports the content into the WebFOCUS 8 environment.

The same Domains, Users, and Groups that are available in the WebFOCUS 7.x environment exist in the WebFOCUS 8 environment after a successful import.

For detailed information on the migration process and steps, functionality, and considerations, see the WebFOCUS Migration manual.
