SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

IBM i environments using Migrate While Active require continuous visibility into migration state, asset by asset, to ensure timely completion and minimal disruption. This skill provides centralized visibility into the migration manager state, libraries and IFS tracking, completed migrations, data compression, synchronization estimates, and network bandwidth to support planning and issue detection.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Migration tracking across library and IFS: View objects being migrated, their tracking state, and timing details.
  • Completion verification: Confirm migrated libraries and IFS objects within a given window and quickly identify failures.
  • Planning & estimation: Access compression factors, final synchronization time estimates, and migration network bandwidth to inform cutover windows and resource planning.
  • Use Case: If a migration is behind schedule, run these tools to forecast finish time and adjust the maintenance window accordingly.

Quick Start

Use the migration monitoring skill to check current status and plan the cutover.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor IBM i Migrate While Active progress for libraries and IFS?▼

IBM i Migrate While Active monitoring tracks migration state for libraries and IFS objects by reading migration views through ibmi tooling, surfacing tracking state and timing details for ongoing asset migrations.

Can I estimate final synchronization time and network bandwidth for an IBM i migration?▼

You can estimate final synchronization time and migration network bandwidth by checking compression factors and synchronization estimates, providing data to inform cutover windows and resource planning.

How do I verify completed IBM i migrations and identify failures?▼

Completed IBM i migrations are verified by checking migrated libraries and IFS objects within a given window, quickly identifying any failures and confirming successful asset migration.

What do I need to check if my IBM i migration is behind schedule?▼

If an IBM i migration is behind schedule, check migration manager state, compression factors, and synchronization estimates to forecast finish time and adjust the maintenance window accordingly.

Does IBM i migration monitoring work without additional dependencies?▼

IBM i migration monitoring works without additional dependencies by reading migration views and related data sources through existing ibmi tooling to surface state, timing, and risk indicators.

What migration risk indicators can I surface during IBM i cutover planning?▼

During IBM i cutover planning you can surface migration manager state, asset tracking details, synchronization estimates, and network bandwidth to detect issues and support actionable planning.
