The sAMAccountName security format strings for user names and groups are converted to
userPrincipalName format, for example from mycompanydomain\joe.user to
[e-mail].
The migration process creates a service named Infrastructure in the target system. Enabled blueprints
are published to this service during migration. You can add services after migration is finished.
If you encounter problems after migration, or migration did not finish successfully, you can shut down the
target vRealize Automation system and restart the source vCloud Automation Center 5.2 system.
Migration Tool Overview
The migration tool contains the pre-migration and the migration tasks. Options to run in silent mode or in
the command line interface are not available. While you can run the pre-migration task multiple times, the
migration task is designed to be run only once.
Run the migration tool from a target vRealize Automation system on which the Model Manager Web
Service component is installed.
When you run the migration tool and specify the pre-migration task, you are prompted for information
about the source and target systems. When pre-migration is finished, the tool provides a link to the pre-
migration report. Review the report to determine if you are ready to proceed to the next stage in the
migration process, or if you need to complete additional tasks and rerun pre-migration. The tool also
informs you of external tasks that you must complete before you start migration and provides a link to the
appropriate product documentation.
When you run the migration tool and specify the migration task, you are prompted to run a prerequisite
check. The prerequisite check generates an initial report that contains information about your readiness to
migrate. It also provides a link to the migration report. After you review the report and choose to proceed,
the migration task migrates your data. When migration is finished, the tool again provides a link to the
updated migration report.
Understanding What Data is Migrated
Most data is migrated from your source system to your target vRealize Automation system. Use the pre-
migration and migration reports to help recreate data that is not migrated.
The pre-migration and migration reports are located in the reports subdirectory of the directory in which
the downloaded migration tool is extracted.
