Migration Configuration File
You can specify a migration configuration file as a command-line option with the profile migration
command. In the configuration file, you can specify settings such as the source and target profile
locations, which are passed to the profile migration utility at runtime.
The migration configuration file is optional. You can override settings that you specify in the configuration
file by typing the corresponding command-line options.
Migration Configuration File Format
The migration configuration file is in XML format, which makes the file easy to read, edit, and extend. For
definitions of the settings, see Migration Configuration File Settings.
