Migration Manager application

You use the Migration Manager application to migrate your configuration content between product environments. You use this application in both your source and target environments. In a source environment, you define, create, and distribute packages. In a target environment, you deploy packages.

In the context of Migration Manager, migration is the process of promoting product configuration content from one product environment to another. Configuration content is the data that is used to construct and run a business application in the application server and made available to users. Product environments can include development, test, and production.

You might want to extend the Purchase Orders application by making the following configuration changes:
  • Add a new table and several columns to the database (using the Database Configuration application
  • Add a new domain that contains several lookup values (using the Domains application
  • Add a new tab in the Purchase Order application screen presentation (using the Application Designer application
  • Develop a workflow process to automate an approval of data managed through the new table (using the Workflow Designer application
All the preceding configuration changes are product configurations that are typically created in a development environment and promoted to production.
