Prerequisites and Considerations

• Connections can be migrated to the target tenant at any time before performing a Workspace migration.
• A profile must be assigned to the Connection before it can be migrated.
• Gateways that are used by Connections:
  • must be matched before migrating a Connection.
  • must be in an Online state for a Connection migration.

Starting a Connections Migration Task

1. Log in to Quest On Demand and choose an organization if you have set up multiple organizations.
2. From the navigation pane, click Migration to open the My Projects list.
3. Create a new project or open an existing project.
4. From the Power BI tile on the project dashboard click Open. Then select the Connections tab.
5. Select a Connection that you want to migrate.
6. Click Migrate in the List View menu. The New Migrate Connections Task wizard starts.

   

7. Migration Options
   1. Default Target Admin User - specify the default target admin user to use for any user that has no match on the target. If a default admin user was configured from the project previously, it will automatically appear in this field.
   2. Privacy Level - select a privacy level from the following options:
      • Organizational - Data from a source with an organizational privacy level is considered to contain organizational data. It can be shared with other organizational data sources, but it won't be shared with external data sources.
      • Private - Data from a source with a private privacy level is considered to be highly sensitive. It won't be shared with any other data source, even if they are within the same organizational boundary.
      • Public - Data from a source with a public privacy level can be shared with other data sources without any restrictions. It's assumed that the data at this level doesn't contain sensitive information.
      • None - all data will be migrated regardless of privacy level.
   3. Incremental migration - select this option to migrate modified or missing data. This option is very helpful in subsequent migrations to keep your migrated data synchronized between source and target tenants.
   4. Click Next.
8. Schedule
   1. Choose from one of three options to schedule the task. The scheduler will be activated after you complete the task wizard.
      • Run now - task runs immediately.
      • Run later - task must be started manually.
      • Schedule - task will be started at a future date and time entered in the corresponding calendar field.
   2. Click Next.
