Framework-Provided Migration Configuration

This topic describes special information relating to migration objects provided for use by CMA in the product. Additional objects may be provided by your specific product. Any special information for objects is provided separately in each product's documentation.

You can see all currently available objects and their descriptions by performing a search in the Migration Plan Query or Migration Request Query pages.

The following points highlight some information about the Framework-provided migration plans and migration requests:

Migration Requests for Wholesale Migrations

The following framework provided migration requests may be used in a wholesale migration. Refer to your specific product’s CMA documentation for its recommendation on which migration requests to use for a full migration of framework and product administrative tables.

For each migration request determined to be needed for a wholesale migration, create a migration data set export record and process it as documented in Exporting a Migration.

Executing Piecemeal Migrations

Piecemeal migrations involve copying a targeted set of data. It may be that it includes a subset of maintenance objects (for example all Activity Types or all Asset Types) or it may further limit the records within one or more maintenance objects (for example, all ‘electric’ rates). Many piecemeal migrations are ad-hoc, depending on the specific requirements at the time.

If your product has provided migration requests for piecemeal migrations out of the box, it would they would be defined to copy the appropriate type of data. However, the selection criteria would most likely not be limited to a type of record. As such, it could be used as is for a “copy all data in these maintenance objects” migration. For example, the framework provides a migration request for Security Configuration. This may be used to copy all the data in the various security tables. Oracle Public Sector Revenue Management provides a migration request to copy form types and its related data.

If your implementation wants to copy only a subset of data for maintenance objects covered by a base provided migration request, do the following:

  1. Duplicate the base migration request.

  2. Find the migration plan for the object or objects where you want to limit the data. Enter appropriate Key Selection criteria to select the desired data.

  3. Use that migration request to request a migration data set export request.

If your piecemeal migration requirement is not satisfied by a base migration request that may be used as a starting point, review the base migration plans for the records that should be copied. Determine if the migration plans have the desired subordinate instructions to copy (or not copy) the related data as desired.
