Migration Wizard allows you to configure default Silent Migration values to use during the migration process. During the automated Silent Migration process, if the destination environment does not contain a matching Entity, Security Alias, Business Group, Performance Model, Counter, PACE Engine (for Automation Center Event), or Custom Archive Rule, then the silent migration process uses the default values defined to migrate the components into the destination environment. You need to configure these default values as an one-time setup.

Define Silent Migration Values

To configure silent migration default values:

  1. In Migration Wizard, from the left navigation, select Setup > Silent migration. 
    By default, you see the Silent Migration workspace.

  2. Configure the default values for silent migration. See the table below for the list of default values and their definitions.

  3. Click Save Changes to save your changes.
