Migration advices

Hello,

Customer looking forward to migrate from 7.8 to 7.11 has the following questions:

- What are the technical reasons that WildFly server is no longer supported in latest Bonita version?

- We are currently using the SQL 2012 version with Bonita 7.8. Is it supported with the Bonita 7.11.4 version? Can we still use it?

- Rest API's permission mapping needs to be changed. When should it be done - after migration is completed?

- BDM Attribute's name is compulsory to start with lower case in current version it seems. Some attributes start with uppercase letters in the existing Bonita version. So, do we need to change it before migration?. Or Migration tool will take care of this?

Thanks in advance for your help

- What are the technical reasons that WildFly server is no longer supported in latest Bonita version?

> Support for EJB is discontinued, so Bonitasoft simplified its offering by only providing a Tomcat bundle

- We are currently using the SQL 2012 version with Bonita 7.8. Is it supported with the Bonita 7.11.4 version? Can we still use it?

> I understand that you speak about SQL Server 2012. According to https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/7.11/hardware-and-software-r... it is not supported anymore. It may work, though, as we do not use anything specific in later versions. Use it at your own risk, but also consider updating, as it may not be supported for long.

- Rest API's permission mapping needs to be changed. When should it be done - after migration is completed?

> What Rest API's permission mappings are you talking about? If they need to be changed for Customer-specific reasons, you can either update them before or after the migration. Pay attention to not overwrite provided permission mappings that are new/updated by Bonita 7.9, 7.10, 7.11.

- BDM Attribute's name is compulsory to start with lower case in current version it seems. Some attributes start with uppercase letters in the existing Bonita version. So, do we need to change it before migration?. Or Migration tool will take care of this?

> Migration tool will not update the attribute case change. Updating to 7.11 will work as is. However, changing the BDM in dev environment will not let you use attributes which start with uppercase letters (and I do not know :-( how Bonita (Hibernate) will react when deploying a new version on top of an already-deployed BDM with Uppercase letters. The test should be carried on to be sure.)
