Migration Process Guide

Chapter 1  Introduction 

This chapter introduces the migration stages.  In order to help organize
the activities involved in the migration process, a six-stage migration
process is defined as follows:

   1.  Education
   2.  Analysis and planning
   3.  Preparation
   4.  Installation
   5.  Compatability Mode (CM) operation
   6.  Native Mode (NM) operation

These stages should be used as a guideline for migration.  Stages can,
and often will, overlap or be skipped altogether.  Figure 1-1  
summarizes the migration project stages.


          Figure 1-1.  Migration Project Stages 

Hewlett-Packard has provided solutions to ease the migration process at
each stage:  use the Migration Toolset during the analysis/planning
stage, the Directory Migration Tool (DIRMIG) to migrate the operating
environment during the installation stage, and the Switch Assist Tool
(SWAT) to create mixed-mode applications during the migration to NM. You
will find other migration documents and tools listed in Chapter 2.
