IBM Maximo Migration Manager allows configuration data to be migrated from development to production environments. It includes applications that help organize changes made in development and move them to test and production. Migration Manager packages configuration objects, compiled sources, and SQL statements into packages that can be distributed and deployed to target systems. It supports migrating automation configurations, reporting, security rules, and business objects while excluding transactional data. The latest improvements allow selecting specific records for migration and comparing environments. Tips include migrating organizations and accounts separately and using prefixes to identify changes between releases when planning migrations.

Object Structure: Set of Business Objects and relationship between them.
Migration Group: Set of Object Structures, functionally related. Sometimes
dependent of others.
Target: Place where package will be deployed: Folder or Database.

12. Few Tips
Organizations and clearing accounts
– Are not migrated
