The migration process includes a series of preparatory and implementation steps that include setting up your migration collections and package definitions, and then creating, distributing, and deploying packages.
Setting up package definitions
Package definitions must have a target to specify where
the configuration content is migrated, and at least one or more configuration
records to specify the content. Package definitions can also be set
up to replace attributes at deployment time. Some package definitions
can be created from migration collections.
Creating packages
When you create a package, the actual configuration data
is collected and added to the package and the package manifest is
created. The package is in the form of records in a staging table.
Distributing packages
After you create a package, you can distribute it to one
or more target environments.
Deploying packages
Deployment applies the configuration records that are in
a package to a target environment.
