Hi,

Has any one used Data Migration Manager in Cloud (22R2) to copy data (basic data as well as transactional data) from PROD to lower system such as TEST or PROD?

For an example, we want to copy all basic dataset up and transactional data from PROD to TEST.

Documentation says this is possible but couldnt find any step by step guide.

Thank you.

Hi,

In order to move data to the lower systems such as TEST, you will need to set them up as Connected Environments.  You can read more about it in the Define Migration Project section of the Data Migration Manager tech docs.

Connected Environments

Target Environments, outside of the Installed environment, are required to deploy data into or extract data from must be specified under this tab. Database Links to target environments will be created by Cloud Operations in the application and the user can select them from the Drop Down ' Database Link Name ' and configure it accordingly. The Database Links will be created to environments sitting under PROD. There will be no Database Links created to PROD, and that is why it normally should sit in the Installed Environment.

Target Environments

In Data Migration Manager, Target Environments need to be defined. The target environments are the environments where the data will be deployed to. One of these environments will be the same as where the Data Migration Manager is installed and the others will be the Connected Environments.

 

To copy the data you would deploy the data after moving the data from Legacy, to Input, to Output and then after approving the data finally deploy the data  from the Deployment Container to the selected Target Environment (which can be one of connected environments).

Thanks Eric, I will try this and see I can progress with it.
