Migrate Birst Connect 1.0 Live Access Connections Metadata to Birst Connect 2.0

Birst Connect 1.0 Live Access Connections can be migrated to Birst Connect 2.0 Live Access connections.

Important: Before beginning, the Birst Connect 1.0 Agent must be off for at least one minute and Birst Connect 2.0 agent must be open. The former Birst Connect Live Access 1.0 connection will disappear from the 1.0 agent.
