Migration Plans

A migration plan defines one or more types of objects that are eligible for migration. It is essentially a set of instructions describing how the data to be exported is structured, allowing objects to be migrated together as a logical unit to ensure consistency and completeness.

The migration plan is always related to a given maintenance object, defined using its primary instruction. Multiple migration plans may exist for a given maintenance object if there are different requirements for migrating records in that MO under different circumstances. For each migration plan, you decide if additional data should be included as part of an object using subordinate instructions. For example, when copying a single algorithm type, should the system only copy that algorithm type record, or should it also copy all its algorithms and its related script (if applicable)? Refer to Types of Migrations for more information.

The following topics describe defining a migration plan as well as other topics for a migration plan.
