Detailed Editor Sections
Overview
The Overview section allows quick updates and adjustments to the application record, such as Application Details, Migration Planning, Classification, and Team Members.
You can also jump to the Advanced Report for detailed data.
Application Details
Define the application scope, update the name, description, and Migration Wave group assignment.
Migration Planning
View and edit the App Strategy, Migration Treatment, and Wave Assignment.
Classification
Set Application and Data classifications to aid in scoping and costing within Dr Migrate.
Team Members
Add team members, including Owners and SMEs, for reporting and filtering purposes.
Data Health
The Data Health panel displays the health status of servers within an application, with filters for criteria like OS, Power Status, and discovery metrics (e.g., Network Traffic, Software, SQL).
You can quickly identify missing data or review details on servers that may impact migration readiness.
For deeper insights, access the application’s Data Health page in the Advanced Report.
Environments
Assign an environment to your application, based on selections in the CMDB Assistant step. New environments can be added by clicking Add New Environment.
Adding a New Environment
- Click Add New Environment.
- Enter the environment details and mark it as active.
- Specify if the environment is Isolated or Normal.
- Save to add the new environment to the list.
Servers
The Servers section lets you manage server assignments within specific environments.
- Servers Assigned: Displays details like server name, environment, and discovery method. Remove servers with the trash icon.
- Add Servers to Environment: Search and assign unassociated servers to the desired environment using the “+” icon.
App Sizing
The App Sizing page assesses the application’s complexity based on key characteristics (e.g., number of servers, SQL servers, environments).
Complexity is categorized as Low, Medium, High, Very High, or Extra High. This helps determine migration strategy and effort.
Each section (General, Config, Networking, Meta Data) compares the app’s actual values against complexity thresholds, with a summary in the Overview section.
Azure Hosting Requirements
Define High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) needs for Azure by toggling these options on or off.
This ensures critical services remain operational during and after migration.
Tags
Assign metadata tags to organize and categorize applications, aiding in searches and filtering in the Digital Report. Tags may include attributes like Business Unit, Cost Center, or other custom migration strategy elements.
- Add, modify, or remove tags individually or in bulk by clicking Add Tag.
Notes
The Notes section allows for adding custom notes for tracking application-related updates, decisions, or relevant details.
- Type your note in the Add Note field and click Save. Notes appear in chronological order.
