Generating the PGP public key for a data migration

This step is performed in your target instance of WFM. The migration process sends the configuration data from your source instance of WFM to the target instance. As part of the migration environment configuration, you must generate a PGP public key in your target environment and then specify this public key when configuring the migration environment in your source instance of WFM.

The PGP public key is for security purposes and encrypts and then decrypts the migration files during the transfer of the files from the source instance to the target instance of WFM.

To create the PGP public key in your target instance of WFM:

  1. In the target environment of WFM where you want to send the migration, select System Administration > PGP Key Generator.
  2. Select the FTP PGP Private Key key type from the drop-down.
  3. Click Generate a New Key if the key does not exist.
  4. Copy the contents of the PGP Public Key and specify it when configuring your data migration environment in your source instance of WFM. For more information, see Step 1: Configuring the migration environment.
