The data migration module allows for setting and specifying the parameters of the data migration process.

The DB Best Migration Platform operates the migration agents that retrieve data from the databases.


Figure 1. Data migration module

There are two types of migration agents:

  • Built-in agent — the platform utilizes it by default and you don’t have to set any parameters here. For the built-in agent, only the Refresh operation is available.
  • Migration agent — the agent you can create on-demand on the remote computer to optimize the migration. You can create several migration agents, specify their parameters and places in the database to make the migration process more effective and less time-consuming.

To migrate data from one database to another in the DB Best Migration Platfrorm, you need to create a migration task.
