Piecemeal Migrations

A piecemeal migration refers to migrating a targeted subset of data from one environment to another. Examples of piecemeal migrations include:

Administrative users can define a migration request with the specific types of objects that should be copied and use selection criteria to limit the records to copy as desired.

The migration plans included in a ‘piecemeal’ migration request should be reviewed carefully to verify what subordinate instructions are included. When copying a specific type of record, there may be related records that should be copied as well and other related records that should not be copied. For example, when copying a custom To Do Type, perhaps any algorithms it refers to should be copied (along with their algorithm types) and its message should be copied, but not its navigation option or its drill keys, which would probably refer to base values.
