Wholesale Migrations

Wholesale migrations are used when migrating all the configuration and/or administrative data from one environment to another. For example, a wholesale migration might be used when migrating administrative data from a development or test environment to a production environment.

A wholesale migration may be comprised of one or more migration requests that in total include all the administrative data to move. Whether one migration request is used or multiple are used depends on the following considerations:

Migration plans used in wholesale migrations may be designed to omit subordinate instructions related to explicit foreign keys that are identified through constraints as they are not needed, assuming that the data they are referring to will also be included in the migration.

Note: Refer to Framework Provided Migration Objects for information about migration requests provided in the framework product. Refer to your specific product’s documentation for information about addition base provided migration requests.
