To migrate individual entries in a form

   • To open a window for a server, select File > New Server Window, and select a server.
   • To open a window for a file, select File > Open, and select a file.
2. Select Migrate > Migration Mode or Scripting Mode.
3. In both the source and destination windows, perform the following tasks:
   1. In the right pane, select the form that is the source or destination for the data migration.
   2. Select View > Form Details to open the Forms Detail window:

4. Scroll to the bottom of the left pane of the source Form Detail window and click Data.
    The right pane displays the data for the fields in the form. 

   Warning

   Note

   The columns displayed in the right pane for the form data are defined by the settings in the Form Properties dialog box in BMC Remedy Developer Studio. The Results List Fields tab specifies the fields to be displayed in results lists. If no fields are specified, BMC Remedy Migrator uses the defaults for the form (field IDs 1 and 8). For example, in the Group form, Request ID and Long Group Name (fields 1 and 8) are displayed. To display additional fields, use BMC Remedy Developer Studio to enter those fields. See Setting-form-properties.

   The advanced search bar appears at the bottom of the Form Detail window, allowing you to search for data to include in the migration.

5. Do either of the following actions in the advanced search bar:
   • To find specific data, enter criteria in the Search Criteria field, and click Apply. The matching entries are listed in the Form Detail window.
   • To include all data, leave the Search Criteria field blank.
6. Select the data to migrate:
   • To migrate only the data found in your search, select the records from the source Form Detail window and drag and drop them into the destination Form Detail window.
   • To migrate all the data from a specific form, first select the data in the right pane of the source Form Detail window. To select all the data records, highlight the first data record, hold down the Shift key, and then highlight the last data record.
7. Right-click in the right pane of the Form Detail window and select Migrate Selected Entries.
   • If you are migrating to a server, select the destination server in the Server dialog box.
   • If you are migrating to a file, enter or select a .migrator file name.
8. Select the destination form in the Form List dialog box.
