PlateSpin Transformation Manager and PlateSpin Migrate Connector work together to manage automated execution of a workload’s transformation plan by using your PlateSpin Migrate servers.
For automated migration, ensure that your environment meets the deployment requirements for PlateSpin Migration Factory.
Network Connectivity and Access
Ensure that network communications are properly configured and operational. See Network Connectivity and Access Requirements
Migrate Connector Settings
Configure the global migration settings that apply to all Migrate Connector instances. See Configuring PlateSpin Migrate Connector.
Migration Server Resources
Configure a Migration Server resource for each Migrate server that you plan to use for your project. See Managing Migration Server Resources.
For each workload, use auto-assignment of Migration Server resources, or associate a specific Migration Server resource with the workload.
Credentials Resources
Ensure that associated Credential resources are valid before you submit the workload for automated execution:
Source workload
Target Host resource
Target Migration Server resource
Source Workload
Ensure that the workload Transformation Plan is in Automated Mode.
The Mode setting in the workload Transformation Plan must be set to Automated. This value is inherited from the project Mode setting by default, but you can alternatively set the value at the workload level.
Configure required information for the proposed workload.
Automated workload discovery is required prior to submitting the workload for execution. Information added from the Import Spreadsheet is not sufficient for automation.
Ensure that the workload is up and running.
Target Host
Ensure that the target host is up and running.
Target Migration Server
Ensure that the assigned PlateSpin Migrate Server is up and running.
Deploy a Migrate Connector instance in the same network as the source workloads.
The Connector instance on the PlateSpin Transformation Manager Appliance can be used as-is if you have only a single project. The Migrate Connector instance on the Appliance is automatically configured to work with PlateSpin Transformation Manager and its required port is opened.
To set up additional instances of the connector, see Installing, Upgrading, or Uninstalling PlateSpin Migrate Connector
in the PlateSpin Migrate Connector Quick Start.
If you have multiple projects, each project must have its own dedicated Connector instance. You need the Project ID to configure a dedicated Migrate Connector for a project.
See Configuring a Project Assignment for a Connector Instance
in the PlateSpin Migrate Connector Quick Start.
The Migrate Connector must be up and running for the automated migration setup and status monitoring.
Before you begin to submit a workload for automated migration, you must deploy PlateSpin Migrate servers in your environment. See the PlateSpin Migrate 12.2.1 Installation and Upgrade Guide.
PlateSpin Migrate servers must be accessible from the source network. For deployment information, see System Requirements for PlateSpin Server
in the PlateSpin Migrate 12.2.1 Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Ensure that the Event Messaging port is open on the Migrate Server. See Section 2.3.1, Event Messaging.
Configure a Migration Server resource for each Migrate server that you plan to use for your project. See Managing Migration Server Resources.
You can create Migration Server resources without the detailed information for initial planning. Select Automated Migration in the workload’s Transformation Plan to allow the PlateSpin Migrate Connector to manage PlateSpin Migrate server assignments from among the Migration Server resources that you create for the project.
Before you submit the workload for execution, ensure that associated Credential resource is valid for each Migrate server.
Ensure that the assigned Migrate server is up and running.
