Now we can deploy and bed down our new process, assuming it is
ready. If not, we can start by migrating an appropriate process.
The first process selected for migration should be either fairly
simple and widely used, or a more complex system with a smaller
user base. The larger the system, the more work will be required,
so do not choose too large an initial system. Bear in mind that
no changes should be applied to the version 7 system while this
is going on, lest we are forced to re-apply those changes to the
version 9 system.
This system will have to be updated and developed on a separate
development and/or UAT environment, of course. Once complete
and tested, the migration of the existing data can be made, and
the new version 9 solution deployed.
During this exercise, we may wish to re-examine many of the
design choices of previous development. The new abstraction of
database queries to Business Objects, and Database (and other)
connections to Connectors, may give us much more latitude and
scope to combine functionality. This may make each subsequent
conversion faster, as less code needs to be written as well as our
knowledge increasing.
