Migration object processing sequences

Edit online

The order of the migration objects within a migration group determines the sequence in which the objects are processed. The order must be correct to ensure that the deployment of packages succeeds.

Each migration object within a migration group must have a unique sequence number. Objects are processed in sequential order during the creation and deployment of the package. You can view the processing order of migration objects for all the predefined migration groups in the Migration Groups application.

If you use the predefined migration objects, the correct processing order is already established. If you create new migration groups, you must determine the order of the migration objects within the migration group.

You can use the Business Process Management migration group to migrate workflow processes. The migration group contains the following migration objects, which must be processed in the order shown:
  1. DMACTION
  2. DMACTIONGROUP
  3. DMROLE
  4. DMCOMMTEMPLATE
  5. DMESCALATION
  6. DMWFPROCESS
This order must be followed because a workflow process might refer to one or more actions, roles, communication templates, or escalations. Similarly, an escalation might refer to one or more actions or communication templates, and a template might refer to a role.

Configuration content for a communication template (DMCOMMTEMPLATE migration object) must be processed before the workflow process (DMWFPROCESS migration object) that refers to the communication template. Therefore, in the BPM migration group, the DMCOMMTEMPLATE migration object has a processing order of 4 and the DMWFPROCESS migration object has a processing order of 6.
