Migrating your existing publishing setup to the new publishing framework
SDL Web 8 introduced a new publishing framework, involving Business Process Types and Topology Manager, to replace the (now deprecated) old publishing framework, involving Publication Targets. If you have migrated your SDL Web implementation to use the new publishing framework, you also need to upgrade your SmartTarget publishing setup accordingly. Instead of having Publication Targets to configure, you instead use a mapping script to map your Publications to a Content Delivery environment that has the Experience Optimization Management Capability. You also need to grant the Target Types associated with your Publications' Business Process Type the right to manage Promotions and Experiments.
