Goal

This article provides basic steps to use the instance migration ant scripts which moves bpm instances from one version to another.  Note that the versions must not have any incompatible changes as mentioned in the documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/12211/bpm/bpm-user/GUID-E07A565B-AAC4-450C-B86D-964C404FEDC6.htm#BPMUG87383 .  If the changes are not compatible an error will be thrown mentioning that the changes between the versions are not compatible .  Also, please note that this example considers a PARTICIPATING composite, where compositeA creates compositeB.  This is often overlooked in creating the script and may require an extra value in the instance filter.

This example is also migrating a single instance.  It may be prefered to migrate all instances , in which case just remove the flowId attribute.   Also, the "compositeParticipation" attribute can be removed if a simplier composite is being used.
