Quest is excited to announce the release a new feature within On Demand Migration that will allow the migration user to easily load an existing migration task configuration from an ODM Migration Task template saved within the project. In doing so, Quest is removing the need to manually go through the migration configuration wizard every time a new migration task is started or scheduled.
This new feature will be available cross-workload, including Mail, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Power BI migration workloads within On Demand Migration.
With this release, Quest is introducing a new dedicated Template tab in each workload with the following functionality:
- Displaying all saved migration templates
- Allowing migration users to easily modify and delete existing migration templates
How do I create a migration template?
Before submitting a migration task, a new option will be available to save the configuration to a migration template:
How can I load the configuration from a migration template for a new migration task?
When entering the migration task wizard for a migration task, customers can load the configuration from a migration template on the starting page of the wizard.
In addition, the migration user will be presented with an option to jump directly to the summary section and start migration tasks without having to click through the entire migration wizard.
Where can I review, edit and delete existing migration templates?
The Template tab will display already saved migration templates and provide the option to modify or delete existing migration templates:
Are the Migration Templates also available through PowerShell?
The creation of migration templates is only supported through the UI at this time, not via PowerShell. However, all migration templates can be used through PowerShell to configure new ODM migration tasks. Here is an example script in which the template ID is being called for the task:
Get-OdmProject -ProjectId $odmProject | Get-OdmProjectWorkload -Type Accounts | Select-OdmProjectWorkload
$template = Get-OdmTaskTemplates | where-object Name -EQ "Mail Migration Final Sync"
$newMailMigration = New-OdmMailMigrationTask -TemplateId $template.Id -Name "Mail migration task User Wave1"
