PlateSpin Migrate Connector requires the following hardware, software, and network settings in your migration environment.

3.1.1 PlateSpin Products

PlateSpin Migrate Connector integrates and orchestrates migration activities between the following PlateSpin products that you deploy in your environment:

  • PlateSpin Transformation Manager 1.1.1

    Configure PlateSpin Transformation Manager and set up a transformation project. You can assign the Migrate Connector to the PlateSpin Transformation Server or to a specific project on the server. Transformation Manager is required for automated discovery and automated migration execution. See Section 3.2, Configuring a Project Assignment for a Connector Instance.

  • PlateSpin Migrate 12.2.1

    In a PlateSpin Migration Factory environment, PlateSpin Migrate Connector can connect to one or more PlateSpin Migrate 12.2.1 servers for your project. See Section 3.4, Configuring Connection Information for PlateSpin Migrate Servers.

    IMPORTANT:If the Role service WebDAV Publishing is installed on the PlateSpin Migrate server, uninstall it from Server Manager > Roles > Web Server (IIS) > Role Service > Common HTTP features > WebDAV Publishing.
