Migrating Provisioning Plans

To migrate provisioning plans:

  1. Click the Prov Plan button.

    If the Source list is empty, your source database does not contain any provisioning plans.

  2. Click the Targ Logon button to select the target database. The target database is the one you want to copy equipment specs to.

    The Environment Login window is displayed.

  3. In the Userid field, enter your user name.

  4. In the Password field, enter your password.

  5. In the Database field, enter the database server name.

  6. Click OK.

    If the Target Database list is empty, your target database does not contain any provisioning plans.

  7. Drill down to the tree structure of the Source Database list and select the provisioning plan you want to migrate.

    The following icons provide information about the provisioning plans. Where possible, attributes of the provisioning plans are also displayed. For a full display of all plan attributes, select a specific plan and click the Display Plan button.

    Table 6-1 lists the icon definitions for provisioning plans.

  8. Drill down to the tree structure of the Target Database and verify whether the same plan exists in the target database. If it does, select the plan and click the Compare Plan button. This helps you determine the impact of any updates/inserts. If it does not exist in the target database, skip this step.

  9. From the Source Database list, select a plan, and then click the Migrate button.

  10. Review the information in the Migrate Plan window. The red fields indicate that the values are not supported in the target database. To correct this problem, check the Replace with check box and select a new value from the list that includes all available values from the target database.

  11. Review the Plan Migration Log to ensure that selected provisioning plans migrated successfully.

    Note:

    If any database errors occur during the migration process, the plans are not migrated from the source database.

  12. Click Close to close the Plan Migration Log window.

  13. To validate that the plan migrated successfully, click the Refresh Target button and verify the plan details.
