Removing or disabling objects

Object Removal options enable you to delete or disable objects from a Form and Related migration.

• Filters

BMC Remedy 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, BMC Remedy Migrator deletes or disables Active Link x and Filter x from Server B.

Migration object removal example


During a Forms and Related Objects migration, 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, BMC Remedy Migrator backs up those objects before deleting them (see Backing up destination server).

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