Running the Migration Utility
The following sections describe the Fixed Assets Migration Utility. Use this information to map the legacy data model to the enhanced model and to resolve discrepancies. When ready, use the Create button on the Fixed Assets Migration Utility screen to load the data into the enhanced Fixed Assets module.
Fixed Assets Migration Utility (32.25.2) tracks milestones of the migration process. It also lets you map the individual migration data types—methods, books, locations, and classes—in stages and then save these intermediate stages to a migration file. After you have mapped all of the legacy data to the enhanced data model, use the Create button to load the data from the migration file into the enhanced Fixed Assets module.
Important: This update can only be done once.
