Migration Server resources allow you to track the servers that host the migration tools used by migration specialists to transform workloads. For example, a migration server might host the migration tool PlateSpin Migrate. You can use the Migration Servers page to create, manage, and delete the migration server resources for the target workloads in your transformation project. Migration Servers do not apply to source workloads.
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 limited 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: Specify the credentials resource to use to log in to the migration server web-based management tool.
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 settings are updated automatically for all of its associated workloads.
All roles for a project can view the migration server information.
In the Web Interface toolbar, select Resources, then select the Migration Servers tab.
You can also view migration servers for a single project in the Associations area of the Edit Project dialog. Select Planning > Projects, double-click the project. In the Edit Project dialog under Associations, select the Resources tab, then select Migration Servers.
