Configuring the System Migration application group

This process optimizes database storage space while allowing you to maintain index data for a very long time. You typically migrate index data after users no longer need to access the reports, but for legal or other requirements, you still need to maintain the data for some number of years or months. Content Manager OnDemand uses the storage management settings in application groups to determine whether or not to migrate index data to archive storage. All migrated data is managed through the System Migration application group.

When you install and configure Content Manager OnDemand, you initialize the system migration function. The system migration function is comprised of the System Migration application group, a set of System Migration applications, and the System Migration folder. The System Migration application group contains the storage management information that Content Manager OnDemand uses to maintain index data migrated to archive storage. Until you assign the application group to a storage set that specifies archive media, Content Manager OnDemand cannot migrate index data from the database to archive storage.
