Migration Tools

The migration tools are sample scripts provided developers and integrators working on migrating data from an existing system to . These tools were originally developed for my own migration efforts. For a casual user with no existing data to migrate, they may be of limited use.

When you enter the migration tools window, you get four options, which are described below. As usual, there is ample tooltip help to guide you along.

Since these tools are meant to be used after modification, clicking on the button to launch any one of them will bring up a warning and confirmation as shown below. To ensure that you do go through and modify the scripts, all but the first one (DB Prefix Migration) will not do anything to your data unless you edit the scripts and comment out the error line as shown below. I know, it is a lot of confirmations, but direct database manipulation is dangerous and has to be carried out with extreme care, as any experience developer will tell you.
