Removing or disabling objects on a destination server during migration

You can delete the following objects:

• Active links
• Escalations
• Filters
• Filter guides
• Active link guides
• Web services

Migrator deletes or disables objects only on the destination server as part of a Forms and Related migration. For example, if you migrate Form 1 from Server A to Server B, Migrator deletes or disables Active Link x and Filter x from Server B.

Object Removal options do not apply to locked workflow.

Migration object removal example


During a migration of forms and related objects, any objects related to a form that exist on the destination but not on the source can be deleted, disabled, or ignored on the destination when the migration takes place. If you specify that objects on the source should be deleted, Migrator backs up those objects before deleting them (see Enabling-backup-to-a-destination-server-before-migrations). Forms are never deleted during migrations.

The default setting for these options is to disable all objects.

To select Object Removal options

1. Select Tools > Options.
2. Under Category, select Migration > Object Removal.
   
3. In the Delete or Disable Objects section, select how Migrator should handle objects on the destination during a Form and Related Objects migration:
   • Ignore All Objects—Migrator ignores all objects on the destination server.
   • Disable All Objects (default)—Migrator disables all objects. The objects remain on the server disabled.
   • Disable Specified Objects
     • When Disable Objects is selected, Migrator disables the active links, escalations, or filters related to the selected objects.
     • When Delete Objects is selected, Migrator deletes the active links, escalations, filters, filter guides, active link guides and web services related to the selected objects.
4. Click OK.
