Prepare Your Target Environment (MFT)

Prepare your target environment by importing or recreating all the configurations of your source. This will ensure successful deployment of the target MFT Cloud Service instance.

To prepare your target environment:
  1. Implement any security configurations.

    Security configurations can be: custom Oracle Web Service Manager (OWSM) policies, Credential Store Framework (CSF) keys, certificates, users, groups, custom Oracle Platform Security Service (OPSS) roles, custom OPSS permissions, group memberships, enterprise roles, OPSS credentials and so on.

    For information on OPSS commands to migrate keystores , see Managing Keystores with WLST in Securing Applications with Oracle Platform Security Services.

    For information on OPSS commands to migrate credentials, see Managing Credentials with WLST in Securing Applications with Oracle Platform Security Services.

    For information on OWSM commands to migrate custom policies, see Migrating Policies in Administering Web Services.

    Note:

    If the source environment is MFT Cloud Service, the internal LDAP data can be migrated into the target environment MFT Cloud Service instance. Migration is supported for MFT Cloud Service 12.1.3, 12.2.1 and 12.2.1.2.
  2. Import artifacts with the configuration plan. Do not deploy yet.
  3. Add file system artifacts captured from source environment – Java callouts.
  4. Test by creating a simple hello world application (MFT transfer). Ensure that it works.
  5. Set your tuning settings if they are available.
  6. Redo any Enterprise Manager configuration steps manually.
  7. If MFT Cloud Service is going to access endpoints on-premises then you may need VPN.

    You can setup VPN through VPNaaS.

  8. Apply UMS configuration manually to the target environment.
  9. Enable the embedded SFTP server by making any documented changes.
