There is an upgrade path, not a migration (upgrade-in-place) path and that is the reason why you do not find anything in the product documentation (apart from the legacy items feature, see below). This means that modernizing from AML 7 to AML on Viya 4 is a rebuild, requiring consultancy effort, the degree of which depends on a number of factors, such as the level of expertise and previous experience by the consultancy team, the proficiency of consultants in (further) configuring AML and Visual Investigator on Viya 4, the the level of customizations that need to be retained for the customers and the level of these being a fit for AML7 VI on Viya 4.
AML 8.3 on Viya 3.5 introduced the legacy items feature facilitating the migration of so-called legacy objects and making AML 7.1 database objects available as read-only objects in AML on Viya 3.5, whilst preserving the links with other objects. In scope of this feature are legacy alerts, risk factors, cases, cdd reviews, exernal parties, regulatory reports, e-files and scenarios. Out of scope are: replicated transactions, comments and scenarios.
We are planning for porting over this feature to AML on Viya 4, but are currently prioritizing other new features and there is no confirmed target delivery timeline for these. However, professional services, with the help of SAS AML Global Advisory can reuse some of the AML 8.3 IP to achieve the same result in AML on Viya 4.
