Step 4: Importing the contents of the Inbound Migration file

In the previous step, you learned how to import the Inbound Migration file into WFM using Job Scheduler. In this step, you will learn how to import the contents of the Inbound Migration file into your WFM application. This step uses a wizard with three major steps:

  • Select Migration
  • View Records
  • Review

To import the contents of the Inbound Migration file into your target instance of WFM:

  1. In your target environment/instance of WFM, select Maintenance > System Administration > Data Migration > Migration Import > Import Inbound Migration.
  2. From Inbound Migration Name, select the name of the Inbound Migration that you want to import.
  3. Click +Add and Close.
  4. In Import Note, you can specify a short description for the import.
  5. Click Next to display the View Records screen of the wizard which only displays tables, not functional objects.

    In this screen you can:

    • View the records for each table which are displayed as tabs across the screen.
    • View the Operation type for each record (typically Insert, Update, Delete).
    • View record details by clicking the arrow icon. The View Record Details dialog displays the Field Name, Old Value (before migration), New Value (after migration).
  6. Click Next to display the Review screen of the wizard. You can once again review the records and the details of the migration.
  7. If you are satisfied with the details of the migration, click Migrate.

    A Job Scheduler task now completes the migration.

  8. To view the details of the migration, select Maintenance > System Administration > Job Scheduler.

    In the Job Scheduler task list, the Migrate Task will automatically run and complete the migration. You will receive a Workmail that the migration has completed successfully.
