This chapter describes the basic steps for using Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution Data Selection Tool (DST).

Using the Data Selection Tool

Using the Data Selection Tool involves the following steps:

  1. Logging into the Data Selection Tool and the source database.

    Note:

    The Product Catalog, Equipment Spec, and Network Template modules are contained within one executable, and the Provisioning Plan module is contained within a separate executable.

  2. Identifying the target database.

  3. Selecting the records to migrate.

  4. Migrating the records.

  5. Validating correct migration.

    Note:

    Oracle recommends that you use the Data Selection Tool with a test database/UAT database as the target database. This ensures that you get the results that you want.
