Automating the WSO2 IS migration process
If you’re going to write a migration script, you have to test the migration process repeatedly with the changes, right? However, this can be a very time-consuming task. Sometimes you need to download new packs, create new databases for each run, etc. Therefore, I have tried to automate the entire migration process using bash scripting since now you can focus about writing the migration rather than spending more time to run the migration. This article will discuss the steps I have automated and how to customise them for your specific tasks if needed.

The goal is to preserve data integrity, minimize downtime, and maintain functionality in the new environment while adapting to changes in technology or requirements.”
