Abstract
A system and method for migrating data from a source system to a target system using a heterogeneous set of migration systems. The described system comprises: a plurality of migration systems, wherein each migration system includes a set of processes for migrating data; and a scheduling system for scheduling processes associated with each of the plurality of migration systems to provide concurrent operation of the plurality of migration systems.
Claims24
A system for migrating data from a source system to a target system, comprising:
- a plurality of migration systems, wherein each migration system includes a set of processes for migrating data;
- and
- a scheduling system for scheduling processes associated with each of the plurality of migration systems to provide concurrent operation of the plurality of migration systems.
A program product stored on a recordable medium for facilitating the migration of data from a source system to a target system using a plurality of heterogeneous migration systems, comprising:
- a system for scheduling processes associated with each of the plurality of heterogeneous migration systems to allow concurrent use of the plurality of heterogeneous migration systems;
- and
- a system that monitors processes associated with each of the plurality of heterogeneous migration systems.
A method for migrating data from a source system to a target system using a plurality of heterogeneous migration systems, comprising:
- characterizing data sets in the source system;
- selecting a first migration system to transfer a first data set based on a characteristic of the first data set;
- selecting a second migration system to transfer a second data set based on a characteristic of the second data set;
- and
- concurrently running the first and second migration systems to concurrently transfer the first and second data set to the target system.
