When all of the assets in your new snapshot can be migrated successfully, you can click
Migrate. By default, your assets are migrated to your personal area in a
folder with a name that you specify.
Procedure
- Click Migrate.
The Save and continue
migration dialog box
opens.
- In the Select target environment area, select a target environment
to migrate your assets to.
Only target environments that you have access to are shown.
When you select your target environment, a check mark
![Select target icon](images/paw_migration_select_target_icon.jpg)
appears beside the environment name.
- In the Snapshot name field, enter a name for your snapshot of
assets.
Note:
- The name of the snapshot must be unique. If you enter an existing snapshot name, you cannot save
your snapshot.
- The name of the snapshot must not continue invalid characters such as
#%&{}\<>*?/$!'":@+`||=.
- Leading and trailing blanks are removed from the name of the snapshot.
- Your snapshot must contain at least one asset.
- Optional: In the Snapshot description field, enter a
description of the contents of the snapshot.
- Enter the Folder name where you want your migrated assets to
reside. This folder is created at the top level in your personal folder on Planning Analytics Workspace.
- To retain the folder structure of the assets in your snapshot, select the Keep
folder structure while deploying option. When this option is selected, the folder
structure of the assets in your snapshot is duplicated in your personal folder when the snapshot is
migrated.
Deselect the Keep folder structure while deploying option to migrate all
assets into the top level of the folder you specified in step 5.
- Click Migrate.
- If the migration is successful, a message indicates that your assets were copied successfully to
your target environment.
- If the migration isn't successful, the validation page opens and you can correct errors in your snapshot.
Results
If the migration is successful, a message indicates that your assets were copied successfully to
your target environment. Additionally, the Snapshot logs
tab records the date and time of the migration, the number of assets migrated, and the target
environment.
If the migration is successful, but results in broken button links, you can view a list of
migrated assets that resulted in broken buttons and take action to restore the buttons in the
migration target environment.
When you migrate a snapshot that results in broken buttons, the Snapshot
logs tab on the Manage snapshots page alerts you to this
condition. A warning icon next to the Migrated by log action indicates the
presence of broken buttons in the migrated snapshot. If you hover over the log action, an
informational message confirms the issue.
When there are broken buttons in a migrated snapshot, the Migrated by log
action becomes a link. Click the link to view a log report showing assets that contain broken
buttons and the missing button targets.
You can restore the broken buttons by adding the button targets to your snapshot and repeating
the snapshot migration.
If the migration isn't successful, the validation page opens and you can correct errors in your snapshot.
