Migration Assistant
Migration Assistant moves plant information from one portal to another, thus eliminating manual configuration tasks.
- This new tool is available to the MES support team and the GBS team.
- Migration Assistant is located within the Administration menu of 42-q.com or Sanmina.com
There are totally five modules to be migrated from one MES Portal Server to another, including User (LDAP user and Non-LDAP user), Profile, Assignment (Relationship between User and Profile under Site), Device (Device configuration for Shop Floor ID) and Android Device (Android Devices maintained at Android Device Maintenance connected to Shop Floor by AppGarden APK). The following will cover User, Profile, Assignment and Device as requested.

Note: Migration Assistant intends for MES support and Plant admin with Menu can only be found at Site 42Q.com. If your own user account has no access to 42Q.com, please ask MES support team if necessary.
