Testing migration
Before migrating production data, it is recommended that you test the migration process. These are two ways to test the migration without modifying or creating new data in your Teamcenter database.
- Create a separate testing database in Teamcenter. This method is also useful for training.
- Set the CMM option Application→Migration Controls, Target Data to Filesystem to write migrated files to the file system instead of storing them in Teamcenter.
