3.6.0 Migration Utility for SQL Server Operations Guide (5697-7090, December 2007)

Introduction

Overview

The PolyServe Migration Tool for SQL Server (MxMigrate) is a

wizard-based utility designed to move SQL Server databases into the

PolyServe Database Utility (MxDB for SQL Server). At the end of the

process, the migrated SQL databases will be highly available and

manageable via MxDB for SQL Server.

How MxMigrate Works

MxMigrate is a WinForm application built on .NET 2.0 and SQL Server

Management Object (SMO). It consists of a single executable,

MxMigrate.exe, that can be launched from either a node in the Matrix

Server cluster or a third system that has network connectivity to both the

source and target server. One node in the cluster is used as the target

server.
