Delta migration tool
Service Manager provides a delta migration tool to transfer the “delta data” from one Service Manager system (original system) to another (new system).
Typical scenario
There are times where you need to migrate data from one Service Manager server to another. Take the following scenario:
- The original system is running live
- You make a copy of it
- You make changes to the workflow in the copy
- You replace the original live system with the copy that has the new workflow
Of course from the time you made a copy until the time the new system goes live, end users are making changes. The following figure depicts this scenario.
Tip You can also use this tool to keep the data in a “test” system in sync with a “production” system or a “development” system in sync with a “test” system.
Data migration methods
The delta migration tool enables you to keep the original system and the copy in sync in either of the ways:
- Allowing manual export or import of changed records
- Scheduling an automated export or import
Caution For a table without the “sysmodtime” field, the tool cannot migrate “delta data” from the original system.
Prerequisites
There are some prerequisites for using this tool. For details, see Installing the delta migration tool .
Supported applications versions
You can find the latest DeltaMigrationTool.unl in the latest Servie Manager Upgrade package root folder.
