Data Migration Options
You must choose one of three modes for data migration:
• Typical Mode
on page 44
• Rolling Upgrade Mode
on page 44
• Custom Mode
on page 44
Typical Mode
A typical migration does the following:
• Performs the actual migration, and not a test migration.
• Makes a best effort to migrate data, rather than stop the migration when a data
conflict is detected.
• Migrates all found objects.
• Migrates all users and user groups to the internal database, including any
found LDAP users.
• Migrates all objects into the internal database.
Rolling Upgrade Mode
Rolling Upgrade Mode migrates only the delta records found in the dump file. Delta
records track the database changes that accumulated on the replica instance while the
primary instance was being migrated. Select this mode when you migrate a replica
server.
Custom Mode
Custom Mode allows you to select which objects found in the dump file will be
migrated, including the ability to perform a test migration. In Custom Mode, you can
customize the following:
• Test Migration
