Migrating InfoSphere Business Glossary

Use these procedures to migrate content from InfoSphere® Business Glossary, Versions 9.1 and earlier, to Information Governance Catalog, Verstion 11.7. You export the InfoSphere Business Glossary assets that are on the source computer, and then import the assets to the target computer to complete the migration.

Review the InfoSphere Business Glossary files and assets that cannot be migrated.

You export assets from the source tool by using either the istool command-line or the InfoSphere Business Glossary user interface. You import assets into the target computer by using the same method that you used for export. For example if you exported by using the istool command-line, you must import by using the istool command-line.

After migrating InfoSphere Business Glossary assets into Information Governance Catalog, you can find the assets by going to the Glossary menu.

Note: InfoSphere Business Glossary term history cannot be migrated. Links to stewards are imported only when the steward has been predefined on the target computer. The selection and definition of a user as a steward is not migrated. For example, if John was defined as a steward on your Version 9.1 source computer, even if John exists as a user on the target computer, unless an administrator added John as a steward, his asset assignments are not migrated.
Before you import the glossary assets, import users and groups and assigned assets, such as common metadata and InfoSphere DataStage® assets. The exported links are then established when you import the InfoSphere Business Glossary assets.
