New migration engine
As the new migration engine is the default engine, users can simply upload the XML
migration file directly through the UI to process the file with the new engine.
Uploading a zip package that includes an XML manifest file (as detailed in Optional engine tuning parameters) will also use the new migration
engine by default, unless a meta
tag is included indicating
legacy
, as detailed in the following section.
Legacy engine
To process migration XML using the legacy engine, a manifest file must be created and
packaged with the migration XML. Set the engine value to legacy
.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE manifest PUBLIC "-//BlueCat Networks/Proteus Migration Manifest 1.0//EN" "http://www.bluecatnetworks.com/proteus-migration-manifest-1.0.dtd">
<manifest>
<meta name="engine" value="legacy"/>
<file name="test-data.xml"/>
</manifest>
manifest.xml
.Zip the manifest XML file with the migration XML file and upload through the UI to process using the legacy engine.
