    Hello,

    Another bit of information from my side.

    Direct migration from webMethods 7.x to webMethods 9.x is not possible directly.

    One can do a 2-step migration.

    • 7.x to 8.2
    • 8.2 to 9.x

    You can find more details here: webmethods 7.1.3 to 9 - Over Install Upgrade - webMethods - Software AG Tech Community & Forums

    Hope it helps,
    Vlad Turian

    Hi,

    sure, it is when using the correct versions.

    You will have to upgrade to latest wM 7.1.2/7.1.3 with latest Fixes.
    Afterwards you can migrate to wM 9.5 SP1 directly.

    From there you can migrate to any wM 9.6, wM 9.7 or wM 9.8.

    When using a wM 8.2.x (8.2.1 thru 8.2.3 dependent on Product) with latest Fixes you might be able to migrate to wM 9.8 directly.

    Please note that the latest version of Broker available is Broker 9.6. This version is still supported even for higer versions of wM.

    You will have to consider a migration to Unniversal Messaging in the next years but the minimum version of UM recommended for this is wM 9.8.

    Regards,
    Holger
