25.1 About Migration Server Resources

The Migration Server resource allows you to track the following information for a migration server that resides in your transformation project:

Name: Specify a name for the migration server that is unique to your transformation project. The name must begin with a letter or number. It can contain only letters, numbers, and the following special characters: space, hyphen, underscore, apostrophe, percent, ampersand, comma, and period.

Organization: Select the parent organization for the project.

Project: Select the parent project for the migration server.

Description: (Optional) Specify a brief description of the migration server. This text appears by default in the Migration Servers list.

Migration Server Type: Select one of the following:

  • PlateSpin Migrate: Select this option to identify the migration server as a PlateSpin Migrate Server, and to allow integration with your PlateSpin Migrate Server.

  • Others: Select this option to identify that the migration server runs any other type of migration software. PTM does not provide integration.

Server URL: Specify the URL of the login page for the migration tool hosted on the migration server. The URL must conform to all syntax rules and can be up to 1024 characters. For example:

https://psmigrate.example.com/Migrate

Credential: Expand the Credentials list, then locate and select the Credentials resource to use to log in to the migration server’s web-based management tool. You can scroll the list, or type a sequence of characters in the Filter to locate the Credentials resource of interest.

Migration Server resources can be saved in an incomplete state. The Migration Server field displays the value Not Configured in the Workload dialog. When you later deploy the server, you can update the Migration Server resource. The status is updated automatically for all of its associated workloads.
