20.1 About Resources

Use the Resources feature to create, manage, and delete information about resources for your project:

  • Credentials: A Credential resource contains the authentication and access information for a source workload, target platform, or migration server.

    PTM stores credential information securely in the PlateSpin Database and transmits it over secure connections when it is needed for discovery and migration. Any project user can apply a Credential resource as appropriate without needing to know the actual values.

  • Migration Servers: A Migration Server resource contains the access information for a PlateSpin Migrate server or other server to be used for workload migration.

    Each Migration Server resource works with a user-specified PlateSpin Migrate Connector that serves the rouse network for workloads to be migrated with that resource.

  • Environments: An Environment resource represents a physical or logical description of your IT environment, such as production, development, and test environments.
