Migration checklist

Before you begin a migration, verify the following information:

• Are you licensed and logged on to all of the servers you want to migrate to and from? See Migrating applications and data between AR System servers for more information.
• Do you want to restrict users from accessing a destination server that is involved in a migration? (In BMC Remedy Migrator, Administrator mode is set to*on* by default.) If yes:
  • Select the production server window and select the Migrate menu.
  • Select Set Admin Mode on Destination Server to turn it on (check) and select it again to turn it off (uncheck). If Set Admin Mode on the destination server is selected, BMC Remedy Migrator enables the Administrator-Only mode on the destination server (if your server supports it) during a migration, and turns it off when the migration is complete.
• Did you set up your migration and report options in the Tools menu? See Setting-BMC-Remedy-Migrator-options for setting up migration options and Chapters 8 through 10 for setting up report options.
• If Enforced mode is enabled on the destination server, are all the objects on the destination server checked into Source Control? BMC Remedy Migrator does not change objects on a destination server if Enforced mode is enabled in BMC Remedy AR System and the object is checked out by another user. For more information about the use of source control in BMC Remedy AR System, see Setting-version-control-options.
• Do you want to review object dependencies or view object differences before you start migrating? See Migrating applications and data between AR System servers and Migrating applications and data between AR System servers
• Have you verified or added any prefixes for workflow items that should be ignored during the migration process? See Setting-BMC-Remedy-Migrator-options.
