Introduction to Control-M Migration

The Control-M Migration process enables you to copy your existing Control-M data from one Control-M environment to another. To migrate Control-M data, the source environment and target environment must both have the same version of Control-M (both major and minor version level, v.v.rr.mxx).

Migration is useful in various situations, including switching to a new computer, new operating system, or new associated database.

NOTE: For situations where you need to upgrade from one version of Control-M to a newer version of Control-M, see Control-M upgrade in the Control-M Installation Guide.

The Migration process must be performed separately for Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server. The migration process involves the export of data from the source environment and then the import of the data to the target environment. The export can be performed while the source Control-M/EM or Control-M/Server is up and running, allowing you to test the migration, configure the new environment, and run test jobs in the new environment. The export and import process can be repeated as many times as needed for testing.

For more details on the planning flow, see Migration planning process.
