Subject: Re: [MAXIMO List] Maximo 7.5 Data Migration Manager
I agree with Mohska. I've done many Maximo merges and haven't found
Migration Manager to play a critical role in that. You need to take your
Maximo user data from your standalone Maximo instance DB's and merge it
into your shared 7.5 DB (your template), handling field remappings,
changing any duplicate keys, changing all incoming sequence ID's,
converting referential data like domain values via cross-reference, etc.
However, if as a side project your integrator wants to use MM just to take
your 7.5 template configuration and move it into 7.5 DEV, UAT, and TEST
environments, then you might find a use for it there using the snapshot
mode. I normally just copy the whole DB to the other environments though
as it's much easier and you know you've got everything.
Hope that helps,
