Set Migration for Categories, Folders, Elements, Datasets/User Maps or Portal Pages via their Editors
Metric Insights 6.1.x introduces Scripted Migration that can be activated via the application user interface, preventing admins from having to pass in specific Category/Element ID’s. The script will automatically pick up any Categories, Elements and Portal Pages (new in 6.1.1) that have been selected for inclusion in the next scheduled migration. In 6.2.1, the ability to Migrate Folders, Datasets and User Maps is supported.
This article will show how easily this is done.
Note that the Scripted Migration utility introduced in 5.6 has been updated to handle this new option. Please see this article for more information Scripted Migration Utility
