Importing application migration plan(s)

You can import any application migration plan from your system. It can be a single plan or multiple plans. To import multiple plans, all the plans must be part of the same file.

The following validations are performed during the import operation. If any of these validations fail, the plan will not be imported.

  • No plan with same name as the plan being imported must exist.

  • Plan name must follow recommendations.

    See Creating an application migration plan.

  • The names of the source cluster, target cluster, and the selected service group mentioned in the JSON file used for import must be available on the Management Server in which the plan is being imported.

If the plan is successfully imported, the plan description is prefixed with the [Imported] tag.

After the plan is imported, Arctera recommends to edit the plan to validate all the entries. If any custom script execution tasks were part of the plan, these entries are displayed in the Task Customization panel of the wizard. As the custom scripts may not be available in the Management Server where the plan is imported, delete these pre-existing tasks and add new custom script execution tasks in the same place by uploading custom scripts copied during the export operation.

To import application migration plan(s)

  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Availability perspective, expand Solutions in the left pane, and click Application Migration Plan.
  2. In the Migration Plan pane, right-click and click Import.

    The Import Plan(s) wizard opens.

  3. Click Browse to select the plan(s).
  4. Click Import.

    The selected plans are imported.

See Exporting application migration plan(s).
