Configure database mappings

You can configure the mapping of a database in your source environment to a database in your target environment so that you can migrate your assets faster.

About this task

The database mappings streamline common scenarios, such as development to production environment mappings. The mappings are stored for each target environment not for each user. Administrators for the target environment can set up these mappings. You must have permission to view assets in a database in the source and target environments to set up the database mappings.

Note: You can map multiple databases in the source environment to one database in the target environment. However, you can't map a database in the source environment to multiple databases in the target environment.
  • If you migrate assets from a source database to a target database that doesn't exist and you have set up a database mapping, the mapping is used to set the database in the target environment so that you don't need to select it manually.
  • If you migrate assets from a source database to a target database that exists and this contradicts the database mappings, the mapping is ignored and the assets are migrated as specified.
  • If you migrate assets from a source database to a target database that doesn't exist and doesn't have a mapping set up, the database must be selected manually.

Procedure

  1. Click on the Lifecycle Management page.
  2. Click New Mapping to create a mapping.
  3. Select a Source Environment from the drop-down list. The drop-down list is populated with all source environments that are available to you.
  4. Select a Target Environment from the drop-down list. A database in the source environment is mapped to a database in the target environment.
  5. Use the database selectors to change a database in the source environment or a database in the target environment.
  6. Click Add Mapping to add another database to database mapping for this source and target environment.
  7. Click Delete mapping icon to remove a database mapping.
  8. Continue to add or delete mappings until you are happy that you have mapped all the databases in the source environment to a database or databases in the target environment.
  9. Click Apply.
