Important: In addition to the services and scheduled tasks detailed in Prerequisites, ensure the Release 12.8 services are not running before you run the Migration Utility.
The CA APM Migration Utility window lists the migration objects in a hierarchical structure in the CA APM Objects area. You select the objects that you want to migrate. You can migrate the data in stages. The hierarchical structure allows you to select all objects within a hierarchy level or to select individual objects within a level.
When you select an object to migrate, all objects within the hierarchy of that object are also selected. These objects are called secondary objects. The secondary objects within the hierarchy migrate first, and the top-level object that you selected migrates last. For example, if you select the Cost and Payments top-level object, the Billing Code, Pricing Type, and Cost Type secondary objects within the Cost and Payments object hierarchy are also selected. Expand the top-level object to see its secondary objects. During migration, Billing Code, Pricing Type, and Cost Type migrate first. The top-level object Cost and Payments migrates after its secondary objects.
You can clear the check boxes next to the objects that you do not want to migrate. You can select one object, a group of objects, or all objects to migrate.
Objects that have already been migrated have a status of Completed, and their check boxes are disabled. In this way, the Migration Utility prevents you from trying to migrate an object that has already been migrated.
Right-click an object to view options that you can select to perform. The options that are available depend on the status of the object. The following options are available for you to select when you right-click an object:
The Audit History object is disabled initially. You start with migrating the non-audit objects. The audit history object is enabled when the migration is successful and the Audit Generation of Events shows the status as Complete. You can migrate the Audit History objects anytime once the option is enabled, and all the applications and services are back online.
Important! Depending on the size of the data, Audit History objects can take a long time to migrate. If the audit history has approximately 1 million records, it is recommended to migrate it during off peak hours.
Follow these steps:
Note: To ensure the events work properly in the product, select Audit Generation for Events from the list of Migration Objects. Audit Generation for Events establishes baseline audit records.
Look at the information in the Messages tab to monitor the migration progress.
When the migration is successful, the objects in the selection area of the window have a status of Completed.
Note: If the migration fails, view the details in the object migration log files in the following location:
[ITAM Root Path]\Migration Toolkit\migration-utility\logs
The CA APM Migration Utility window closes.
When the migration completes, restart the services for the following Service Management products:
