Getting started with Migration Manager
Migration Manager migrates configuration content from one product environment to another. You typically migrate configuration content from a development environment to a test environment and then to a production environment.
After you develop and configure your applications, you can migrate the configurations to a test environment. After testing the configurations, you can migrate them to a production environment. By using Migration Manager, you can migrate iterative configuration changes in a planned and controlled manner.
To migrate the configuration content, you organize it into packages. The packages go
through a series of steps that make up the migration process. Some steps occur in the originating
environment, called the source environment, and some steps occur in the destination environment,
called the target environment.
