Migrating server wide data


Server wide data includes data like logins, users, remote logins, groups, external logins, remote servers, roles, and alias information from various system catalogs in the source Adaptive Server.

The System Administrator can opt to perform the server wide data migration independent of sybmigrate.

The Migrate Server Data field allows you to indicate whether or not you would like to migrate server data. You can choose yes, no, or undecided.

When you choose yes, the server data is migrated at the end of the setup phase of the migration process. When you subsequently run sybmigrate in the setup phase, you are not given the opportunity to choose to migrate the server data because this task has already been completed.

If you choose no, the server data is not migrated, but you can go back and choose to migrate server data at any time provided that the database migration has not begun.

If you choose undecided you have the option to go back and choose yes or no at any time. However, when you select undecided, you cannot begin the migration phase of the migration process. Undecided is a helpful option when you are trying to set up all the information for the migration process, but do not plan on actually migrating data until a later time.
