Migration of SLAs, response plans, and related objects with Migration Manager

Migration objects and groups in the Migration Manager support the Service Level Agreements (SP) and Response Plans (SP) applications. The migration groups for service level agreements include the SLA, Escalations, and KPIs. The migration groups for response plans include Escalations and Actions. These groups can be copied and modified so that other objects are included in the migration.

For more information about how to use the Migration Manager, see the Migration Manager technical content.

  • KPIs used by object SLAKPI
  • Service Groups and Services that are used by object PLUSPAPPLSERV
  • Descriptive Names (PLUSPAPPLFLD) used by object PLUSPAPPLCOND

The source SLAs are filtered by status so that only Inactive SLAs are migrated. The target SLA must always be Inactive.
