Note:
  • If you choose to save the migration information, the Migrate Utility generates a .mig script file. The script file created here works the same as any other .mig script file except that you cannot view it in the Schema Viewer. However, you can execute it using the Execute Batch command or from the command line as often as you would like. You cannot execute a saved .mig script file from the from the Migrate Database dialog box.
  • Information pertaining to migration execution appears in the Execution Information window. Following successful migration, you can close this window.
