You can migrate to and from the file system or directly from one application to another. Before you begin, you must determine the migration scenario that best fits your requirements. See Migration Scenarios.
The Migration Wizard migrates artifacts when the source and destination are registered to the same Shared Services instance. Alternatively, the Migration Wizard migrates artifacts when the source and destination are registered to different Shared Services instances but with a shared file system.
If the source and destination are not registered to the same Shared Services instance and are not on the same network, you can export artifacts to an intermediary file system and use FTP, DVD, or another transfer method to transfer the intermediary file system to the destination system.
Note: | In a transfer scenario, ensure that the files are copied to the user directory on the destination file system for the user who performs the import from the file system. If the files are copied to a directory for a different user, the user performing the import will not see them under the File System node in Shared Services Console. |
In a migration definition, you can specify multiple tasks to migrate multiple applications together.
