Creating and saving migration scripts

This section describes how you can create and run migration scripts. Use the following tips for faster creation of a migration script:

• In Scripting mode, dragging and dropping objects from a source server to a destination server window automatically creates a new migration script (or adds to an existing one).
• Double-clicking a script file from its saved location launches BMC Remedy Migrator and opens the script in a window.
• BMC Remedy Migrator allows you to have only one Scripting window open at a time. If a Scripting window is already open, BMC Remedy Migrator adds to it.

To create a migration script

1. If you have more than one source server, make sure you are logged on to and have server windows open for all the servers included in the scripted migration.
2. Select Migrate > Scripting Mode.
3. Perform any type of object, field, or data migration between any licenses servers, between a server and a file, or between files.
    A migration script window opens as soon as you script your first object, field, or data type. If you have several objects to script, you can minimize the window or resize the script window and continue migrating.
4. When you have completed your script, select File > Save As.

5. Select a destination path and type a file name, making sure to save the file as a .mgrscript file.

   Tip

   Store your scripted files in the Migrator Script directory. This directory gives you access to the files from the Server Tree view by clicking the Scripts icon.

6. Click Save.
7. Close the script window.
