Preparing to Migrate Data

Prior to installing the software, you must create two or three VM IDs:

VM ID	Required
MIGRATOR	Yes
MIGXFER	Optional
NOTIFY	Yes

As currently implemented, the NOTIFY id cannot be the MIGRATOR id. Also, it is recommended that you do not specify the MIGXFER or file transfer id as the NOTIFY id. It is possible to have the role of MIGRATOR and MIGXFER handled by one VM ID.

Note   These three accounts can be any valid VM IDs. In this chapter, they are referred to as MIGRATOR, MIGXFER, and NOTIFY.

MIGRATOR

The MIGRATOR id must be a class B VM ID so that it can perform the automatic log on function or have access to a facility that can perform the automatic function. This id must have:

• A 191 minidisk to store programs, accounts files, other required data tables, and LOG and STATUS files.
• A LINK to a minidisk which contains the OFSUAD FILE or a LINK to xxxDBM 191 minidisk.
• A LINK to a minidisk that contains the PROFS NICKNAME file.
• A LINK to a minidisk that contains the OFSINSTL FILEXT file.
• (Optional) Pre-ESA systems may need to provide a link to the VM DIRECTORY file unless there is some other means to perform the AUTO LOGON of VM IDs from the MIGRATOR VM ID.

The following is sample directory entry for the MIGRATOR VM ID:

 LINK    SYSADMIN 399 399 RR
 LINK    xxxNICK ccc  ccc RR

MIGXFER

This class G VM ID can be used to receive the files generated during the migration process from the reader to a minidisk. This VM ID requires a minidisk large enough to store all notelogs, calendar, mailed documents, and nickname information from the group of users participating in the migration. The administrator can optionally designate the MIGRATOR VM ID to receive these files instead of creating a second VM ID. This VM ID requires a LINK to the MIGRATOR's 191 disk where the migration parameters and programs are stored. This documentation assumes there are two VM IDs.

The following is sample directory entry for the MIGXFER VM ID.

USER MIGXFER password 4M 8M G

 LINK MIGRATOR 191 192 RR READPW WRITEPW
 MDISK   191 3380 ccc 100 vvvvvv MR readpw writepw

NOTIFY

The NOTIFY id receives any error messages generated by the source extractor. Since it is a recipient only, no special permissions are required.
