11.1. The Steps for Scripted Migration

The migration script is conveniently divided up into six sections or checkpoints:

  1. Set Source and Target Connection

  2. Do the Reverse Engineering

  3. Migration Methods and Ignore List

  4. Set Object Mappings and Do Migration

  5. Generate and Execute SQL Create Statements

  6. Bulk Data Transfer

Each checkpoint will be examined in turn. To reload the application state and have access to the objects created during migration, choose the menu options File, Reload stored application state .... Find the XML file that you previously saved. Open this file and you will see how the various objects in the GRT Globals Tree are referenced from the shell. Press F4 to open the GRT shell.
