16.6 Editing the Workload Transformation

The initial workload import creates a source workload and a proposed target workload. You use the Workload dialog for the workload to set the appropriate configuration for the transformation and target workload.

Users Who Can Perform These Tasks: System Administrator, Project Manager, Project Architect

For information about the various parameters for the workload, see Section 16.1, About the Workload Dialog.

To configure the transformation and target workload for a single workload:

  1. In the Web Interface, select Planning in the toolbar, then select the Workloads tab.

  2. Use the Filter and Advanced Search options to locate the workload of interest.

  3. (Optional) Pause over a workload Name to view a summary of its source workload and target workload configurations.

  4. Double-click the workload you want to modify to open its Workload dialog. You can alternatively select the workload, and then click Edit.

  5. Modify the workload information on the Workload dialog as appropriate:

    • Status

    • Transformation Plan

    • Migration Settings

    • Workload

    • Location

    • Network Interfaces

    • Testing Network Interfaces

    • Storage

    • Applications

    • Custom Fields

    • Transformation History

    HINT:As you work in the various panels in the Workload dialog, you can double-click in the header to refresh the dialog page.

  6. Use the following to save your changes for now, to submit the workload as ready for execution, or to return to a submitted workload to make changes:

    • Select Mark In Progress to keep the workload available for additional changes. This allows errors to exist until you return to make additional modifications.

    • When you have resolved all errors and provided the appropriate transformation details, click Submit to indicate that the workload is ready for transformation.

      NOTE:For automated migration, you cannot submit a workload transformation that has not been successfully discovered. Workload details imported from a Spreadsheet Import are not sufficient for automation.
