Silent Migration allows you to migrate an Eagle Data File into an environment without logging into Eagle application. You can migrate any EGL file from a server specified directory into the destination environment using the Silent Migration. A migration log is created during silent migration and placed into the Appserver logs directory. This functionality supports after-hours processing, allowing you to deposit a set of .EGL files into the specified directory and begin the silent migration process manually or via a third party scheduling tool. Once the silent migration process is complete, you can review the log to verify it. 

You can use the Silent Migration Wizard to migrate any component that you can migrate manually via Migration Wizard user interface.

Before you begin the silent migration process, be sure to set the default silent migration values. Refer to Configure Silent Migration for more details.

Silent Migration Export Process

With Silent Migration, you can perform the export process by dropping the component file in the destination directory's export folder to generate the .EGL/.ZGL file.

Before you begin:
Ensure that you have saved the migrated items you need in XML format. For the Silent Migration export process, the exported file must be in XML format.

  1. For example, to export a policy component in PDC,  access Portfolio Data Center > Setup > Policies.

  2. Select a policy and then select Migrate > Export.
    You see the Export Workspace.

  3. Choose a directory to save the file, apply the migration rule and then click Save Items to save the file in XML format.

  4. Create a folder in the name of the user who has access to perform Silent Migration in the ../apps/eagle/data/migration/export path. For example, ../apps/eagle/data/migration/export/EAGLEADMIN.

  5. To create a folder, go to the export folder, right-click and select Create Folder.

To perform the export process:

  1. In the System Management Center, from the left navigation, select Environment > Installations.

  2. Double-click the application type, which has the root ' /apps/eagle'.
    You see the Application details page.

  3. Select the File Explorer tab and then select the folder data > migration > export  > <name of the user folder>, for example '/data/migration/export/EAGLEADMIN.

  4. Right-click on the workspace and select Upload Files to drop the XML files for export migration process.
    You see the Open dialog box.

  5. Browse and select the file you want to export and then click Open.
    You see the file is added to the folder.

The XML files dropped in this Export location is automatically picked and processed by the Appserver and it generates the .EGL/.ZGL file. The .EGL/.ZGL files which are generated successfully are placed in the Completed folder for you to review. For example: /data/migration/export/completed/EAGLEADMIN. You can use this exported .EGL/.ZGL file to import into the target environment. The failed migration files are placed in the Failed folder, for example /data/migration/export/failed/EAGLEADMIN.

Import Process

Using Silent Migration, you can perform the Import process by dropping the .EGL/.ZGL files in the destination directory's import folder.

Before you begin: 

  1. Create a folder in the name of the user who has access to perform Silent Migration in the ../apps/eagle/data/migration/import path. For example, ../apps/eagle/data/migration/import/EAGLEADMIN.

  2. To create a folder, go to the import folder, right-click and select Create Folder.

  3. Be sure that you have the required .EGL/.ZGL file containing the migrated component.

To perform the import process:

  1. Go to System Management Center, from the left navigation, select Environment > Installations.

  2. Double-click the application type, which has the root ' /apps/eagle'.
    You see the Application details page.

  3. Select the File Explorer tab and select the folder data > migration > import  > <name of the user folder>, for example /data/migration/export/EAGLEADMIN.

  4. Right-click on the workspace and select Upload Files to drop the .EGL/.ZGL files for import migration process.
    You see the Open dialog box.

  5. Browse and select the .EGL/.ZGL file you want to export and click Open.
    You see the file is added to the folder.

  6. The .EGL/.ZGL files dropped in this Import location is automatically picked and processed by the Appserver and it imports the item to the destination environment with the applied migration rules.

  7.  To view the newly migrated item, go to the respective component's Eagle Center workspace and click the Refresh button in the target environment.
