Read/write access to Migration Manager folders

Starting in Maximo® Manage 8.7 and Maximo Application Suite 8.11 and later, three default folders are created for Migration Manager in all Maximo Manage pods.

The following folders have read/write access that is enabled through ephemeral storage and is local to the Maximo Manage pods:
  • /dmroot/maximo/migration/outbound
  • /dmroot/maximo/migration/preview
  • /dmroot/maximo/migration/inbound
Remember: Only users who have administrative privileges have read/write access to the folders.

To create and export a Migration Manager package, you can set the mxe.dm.dmroot system property to /dmroot and create a file target with the path set to a writable folder on the server, for example, /tmp. The Migration Manager stores the compressed package file in the local ephemeral storage. You can download the package file from the source environment and upload it to the target environment when migrating configuration content.
