Retain the Migration Status from Release 12.8

The Migration Utility moves CA APM data objects from Release 11.3.4 to the current release. The migration status (for example, Completed) of each object is displayed on the Migration Utility. If you previously migrated Release 11.3.4 data to Release 12.8, you can migrate objects with Release 12.9 that you could not migrate in Release 12.8. However, to retain the migration status of the objects that you migrated in Release 12.8, perform the following steps before you upgrade to Release 12.9.

Important! Perform these steps before you uninstall Release 12.8.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the server where Release 12.8 is installed.
2. Navigate to the Migration Utility resources folder.

   Example:

   [ITAM Root Path]\Migration Toolkit\migration-utility\resources\
   

3. Open the mu_db_delete.bat file in your preferred text editor (for example, Notepad).
4. Delete the entire contents of the file.
5. Save the mu_db_delete.bat file and close the text editor.

You can now proceed with the Release 12.9 upgrade. The Migration Utility retains the status of the objects that you migrated in Release 12.8.

Note: If you uninstalled Release 12.8 without performing these steps first, you can still proceed with the Release 12.9 installation. When you open the Migration Utility, the objects that you previously migrated display a status of Not Started. Update the status manually. Select an object, right-click, and select Move to Completed.
