Enterprise migration planning information repository

A workstation for implementing a data migration project for migrating a plurality of applications from a source data storage system to a destination data storage system, the workstation comprising:

• a memory configured to store:
• a set of data migration rules and a set of scheduling considerations, the set of data migration rules comprising:
• a bundling rule indicating that a first subset of applications of the plurality of applications are to be grouped in a single bundle unit;
• a move together rule indicating that at least two applications are to be migrated in a single migration wave;
• and
• a sequencing rule indicating that a first application is to be migrated prior to beginning migration of a second application;
• and
• a precedence flag for at least one individual data migration rule or scheduling consideration, the precedence flag indicating that the at least one individual data migration rule or scheduling consideration must be implemented in a migration schedule over another data migration rule or scheduling consideration;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• compare the set of data migration rules against the set of scheduling considerations;
• determine that a conflict exists between the data migration rules and the scheduling considerations;
• select at least a first data migration rule corresponding to the precedence flag to implement over a scheduling consideration based on the determination that the conflict exists;
• identify applications on a common server and sharing a common service;
• group the identified applications and corresponding application data in to a bundle unit according to the bundling rule and at least the first data migration rule while ignoring the scheduling consideration;
• and
• generate a migration schedule for migrating the bundle unit according to the move together rule, the sequencing rule, and at least the first data migration rule while ignoring the scheduling consideration.

A non-transitory computer readable memory storing instructions for implementing a data migration project for migrating a plurality of applications from a source data storage system to a destination data storage system, the computer readable memory comprising a set of instructions executable by a processor the set of instructions comprising:

• instructions to store a set of data migration rules, a set of scheduling considerations, and a precedence flag for at least one individual data migration rule or scheduling consideration, wherein the data migration rules comprise:
• a bundling rule indicating that a first subset of applications of the plurality of applications are to be grouped in a single bundle unit;
• a move together rule indicating that at least two applications are to be migrated in a single migration wave;
• and
• a sequencing rule indicating that a first application is to be migrated prior to beginning migration of a second application;
• and
• wherein the precedence flag indicates that the at least one individual data migration rule or scheduling consideration must be implemented in a migration schedule over another data migration rule or scheduling consideration;
• instructions to compare the set of data migration rules against the set of scheduling considerations;
• instructions to determine that a conflict exists between the set of migration rules and the set of scheduling considerations based on the comparison,
• instructions to select at least a first data migration rule corresponding to the precedence flag to implement over a scheduling consideration based on the determination that the conflict exists;
• instructions to group applications on the source data storage in a bundle unit according to the bundling rule and at least the first data migration rule while ignoring the scheduling consideration;
• and
• instructions to generate a migration schedule for migrating the grouped applications in the bundle unit according to the move together rule, the sequencing rule, and at least the first data migration rule while ignoring the scheduling consideration.
