Migrator architecture

Important

We recommend you use BMC Helix Data Manager to migrate your data accurately and quickly into a new system.

Migrator helps you migrate objects and data to and from servers quickly while still having all clients connected and running. If you have two or more servers in your AR System environment, you might need to transfer or synchronize definitions or data between servers.

BMC Helix Data Manager Overview

Migrator checks for the integrity of objects, such as groups, active links, forms, and so on. It migrates only those objects that have changed after the initial migration. 

Migrator integrates with AR System through existing application programming interfaces (APIs) and requires no additional integration work. You can install Migrator on a client workstation and run it independently of AR System. The APIs handle all communication between Migrator and AR System server.

Migrator can transfer server objects across one or more servers and also transfer data entries from one or more AR System forms. You can select single, multiple, or searched sets of data. You can migrate data immediately or save your migration in a script to be run later.
