Configuring validation options
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration is integrated with the Oracle Cloud Pre-Migration Advisor tool. The tool analyzes the source database during validation and advises you about database features and constructs that are problematic.
The tool provides the following benefits:
-
Warns you about any features used by your database that aren't supported in the target environment
-
Makes suggestions for remedial changes and/or parameters to use for the Data Pump export and import operations
To configure premigration advisor settings:
When you are creating a migration you can configure premigration advisor settings in the Migration resource Advanced Settings, Validation tab.
Run premigration advisor during validation: Enables premigration advisor to run during a migration validation job, in the Validate Pre-migration Advisor phase
Continue premigration advisor validation on error: By default, a validation job stops running when premigration advisor finds an issue. When checked, if premigration advisor finds an error, the premigration advisor validation will continue to its conclusion.
This setting is useful if you want to proceed with a migration if error conditions have already been reviewed and the problematic objects have been excluded, because since premigration advisor does not review the exclusions list, it will still report any blocking issues on objects even if they are excluded.
These settings can be changed after the migration is created. See Editing a migration.
See Cloud Premigration Advisor Tool Support in the Zero Downtime Migration documentation for more information about premigration advisor.
