Run the Pre-Migration Reports

Before you migrate the CA MDB, you run the pre-migration reports. The pre-migration reports identify the following types of data:

Data that can cause problems during data migration. You correct the data in the CA MDB before you run the Migration Utility. For example, if you renamed a relationship template that was provided with Release 11.3.4, this change could cause a problem during the migration of relationships. The Relationship Report identifies the renamed templates, which you change back to the original product-provided template names, before migration.
Data that requires analysis for migration configuration decisions.
Data that is not migrated with the Migration Utility, but can be migrated manually with updated product features. You reference this data during manual migration, after you run the Migration Utility. You must capture the data in these reports before you migrate your legacy data, because this data is not migrated to the Release 12.8 database structures. You save these reports and reference their information later, during manual migration for Release 12.8.
Data that is supported in Release 11.3.4 but is not supported in Release 12.8. You cannot migrate this data with the Migration Utility or add it using Release 12.8. These reports identify unsupported data and provide legacy reference information.

Note: For information about the features that are supported in Release 12.8, see the CA IT Asset Manager Product Roadmap and the Differences Between CA IT Asset Manager 12.8 and Prior Releases (CA IT Asset Manager 12 and CA Asset Portfolio Management 11.3.4) documents on the CA Support website.
