Preview Mode in Migration

After importing your configurations into the target environment, you can preview them in a sandbox instance before applying them. But you can preview only those configurations that are sandbox aware and have no dependency on non-sandbox artifacts.

You can also edit web service connections and mashup URLs in preview mode before applying the migration set. You can use Application Composer to delete and recreate web service connections and reconfigure mashup URL definitions in the target environment.

Note: When migrating configurations, make sure you have the appropriate administrator roles to test all your changes in preview mode. Also, in Application Composer, you can view only changes related to web service connections and mashup URLs.

What You Can See

The Oracle ADF module is the only module that's sandbox aware. As such, changes to these MDS artifacts from ADF are available for preview:

• Custom objects

• Custom attributes

• Pages

• Workflows

• Groovy scripts

• Triggers

• Lookups

• Attachments

• Data security

• Strings

• Web services

  Note: Though visible, these web services won't be functional because their connections aren't migrated.

However, if any of these artifacts have any dependency on non-sandbox aware artifacts, they don't show up in your preview.

What You Can't See

Artifacts that aren't part of the Oracle ADF module aren't visible in preview mode. Here are a few of those non-sandbox aware artifacts:

• BI reports

• BI custom subject areas

• Functional security

• New custom objects

• Email templates

• Workspace configurations

• Notification preferences

• ESS artifacts

• SOA artifacts

• Industry extensions

• Analytics
