How to Migrate CA APM Data from Release 11.3.4 to Release 12.9 › How to Migrate CA APM Data from Release 11.3.4 to Release 12.9 › Run the Migration Utility

Run the Migration Utility

The Migration Utility migrates audits, objects, and events from one CA APM release to the upgraded database structure of another.

The hierarchical structure of the objects in the selection area on the CA APM Migration Utility window allows you to select all objects within a hierarchy level or to select individual objects within a level. A status icon displays the migration status for each object or object level.

The icon key in the top area of the window indicates the statuses. When an object status is Complete, you cannot select the object.

The Messages and Summary tabs allow you to monitor the migration process and to review the migration run.

Important: In addition to the services and the scheduled tasks detailed in Prerequisites, ensure the Release 12.9 services are not running before you run the Migration Utility.

The first time that you open the window, you are prompted to confirm the migration database versions. After you complete this task, you can run the object migrations.

Important! With Release 12.9, you can migrate objects that were not migrated with Release 12.8. These objects are costs and payments extensions and audits, custom relationships and audits, and relationship extensions and audits. With this release, all relationships are migrated, including custom relationships and relationships that were not product-provided. If you previously migrated your data from Release 11.3.4, you can migrate the data for just these objects. You do not need to perform the complete data migration again.

You can migrate the following objects and associated events with the Migration Utility:

• Assets
  • Unique Asset Names for CORA
  • Asset Current Status History
• Cost and Payments
  • Billing Codes
  • Pricing Types
  • Cost Types
  • Currency Types
• Cost and Payment Extensions (and the associated audits)
• Legal Documents
  • Legal Definitions
  • Document Locations
  • Legal Status
  • Legal Document Status Histories
• Notes
  • Note Types
• OOTB Relationships (Original Product-Provided Relationships)
• Custom Relationships (and the associated audits)
• Extensions
  • Simple Extensions
  • List Extensions
  • Location Hierarchies
• Relationship Extensions (and the associated audits)
• Attachments
• Roles
• Reconciliation Translation Lists (supported types only)
  • Operating System Translation List
  • System Model Translation List
  • Manufacturer Translation List
• Legacy audits to audit archive tables. The Audit History object is enabled after you migrate other objects and the Audit Generation for Events shows the status as Complete.

Note: To ensure that 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.
