You can migrate your existing vRealize Orchestrator that is embedded in a vRealize Automation 7.x environment to an embedded VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator 8.x.

For information about migrating standalone vRealize Orchestrator environments, see the Migrating a Standalone vRealize Orchestrator.

Migration is supported for vRealize Orchestrator 7.3 or later.

The VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator migration transfers an embedded source vRealize Orchestrator configuration to your current VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator 8.x environment, overwriting all existing elements such as workflows, actions, configuration and resource elements, including secure strings in workflows and configuration elements, packages, tasks, policies, certificates and trusted certificates, plug-ins and plug-in configurations, custom records in the the js-io-rights.conf file, Control Center system properties. The migration includes both built-in and custom VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator content.

The migrated VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator configuration does not include the following data that might affect the target VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator performance and use.

  • The VCAC, VCACCAFE, GEF, Data Management, and Workflow Documentation plug-ins of the source vRealize Orchestrator. Aside from workflow runs, all vRealize Orchestrator content associated with these plug-ins is not migrated to the target environment.
  • Syslog server configuration in the Logging Integration page in Control Center.
  • Workflow execution logs.
  • Dynamic Types plug-in configurations.
Nota: Before migrating, if your vRealize Orchestrator endpoints are not assessed, you must reassess your vRealize Orchestrator instance.
