3.1.1. Managing Connections
A connection is a location that can be migrated from, which is called a ‘Source Connection’ or a location to be migrated to which is called a ‘Target Connection’. They will contain settings related to the relevant system and these connections can be reused across migration jobs.
These connections can either be added to PMA during the migration job creation wizard or separately in Manage Connections.
To create a connection using the Manage Connections option, click on the icon in the navigation panel from where you can create or edit Source and Target connections.
Click on to add a new connection or to edit existing connection.
3.1.2. Migration Job Management
To manage jobs, click on in the Navigation Panel. New jobs can be created and the properties of existing jobs can be viewed.
Exporting Job Settings
Some of the settings on a job can be used by other jobs by selecting the job Export option . This will export settings associated with structure mapping, content type mapping and security mappings to a file which can be imported when creating a new job. This makes it simple to share settings across PMA servers.
NOTE: Export settings does not save custom content type information.
3.1.3. Licensing
License activation (online or off-line) as well as license information and consumption can be found here.
