Saving a Migration Definition

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:

  1. Launch Shared Services Console. See Launching Shared Services Console.

  2. Define the artifacts or applications to migrate. See Migrating Artifacts.

  3. Click Save Migration Definition.

  4. In File Download, click Save and specify the save destination.

  5. Click Save.
