Selecting the session type


The Session Type screen prompts you to select the type of operation that you want to perform in this session of using the migration tool.  There are three options to choose from:

  1. Setup source databases for migration
  2. Migrate database objects and data
  3. Validate the migrated objects and data
When using the tool for the first time the only option available will be 1.  You are not able to migrate or validate data until you have successfully set up the source database for migration.

During the setup phase you must select the databases to migrate and setup devices and work databases to use for the migration process.

During the migration phase you must first identify the database objects within the selected databases than you want to migrate, then watch as those objects are migrated.

The third option - validation - allows you to verify that the databases and object that you selected have been successfully migrated.
