Creating and saving a migration definition saves the migration as an XML file. With this functionality, you can define a migration and reuse the migration later, or use the user interface to repeat a migration either in Shared Services Console or in Lifecycle Management Utility.
You can use the XML migration definition file and Lifecycle Management Utility to execute a “lights-out” migration. In addition, you can schedule a migration with a third-party scheduler.
To create a migration definition using Shared Services Console:
Launch Shared Services Console. See Launching Shared Services Console.
Define the artifacts or applications to migrate. See Migrating Artifacts.
