6. Data migration process

Data migration process This chapter describes the recommended process where you first move the source CAD data into Teamcenter, and then you use CMM to migrate the CAD data to NX within Teamcenter. Another possible process is where you migrate the CAD data using CMM Solo, and then import the migrated NX data into Teamcenter. To use this second process, see CMM Solo in Appendix A. The recommended migration process is described as two phases. Phase 1 is metadata migration, where the associated metadata (part number, part name, revision, etc.) is migrated into Teamcenter. Phase 2 is the content migration, where each dataset is modified. This guide assumes that phase 1 is already complete. It focuses on the steps within the content migration phase.

• Step A is to identify the data to be migrated and lock it to prevent modification during the migration process.
• Step B is to migrate the datasets. The data is migrated, then inspected and repaired, if necessary.
• Step C is to approve the migrated data and give access to users.
