Using Action Scripts

Migration Manager is able to execute action scripts during migration of Accounts, Subscriptions, and content. These scripts can be used to perform additional actions during migration, for example: sending the notification messages, updating content of the migrated Webspaces, and so on. Scripts are executed on the POA Management Node.

The table below provides the detailed information about the supported action scripts and their input parameters.

The action scripts should be placed on the POA Management Node, in the POA_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/share/migration2/customActions/ directory (POA_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY is /usr/local/pem/ on Linux or C:\Program Files\SWsoft\PEM\ on Windows). For Linux-based Management Node the action script should use the .sh extension and for Windows-based Management Node the actions scripts should use the .bat extension.

Notes:

1. The POA_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/share/migration2/customActions/ directory contains the templates of the action scripts (files having the .tmpl extension).

2. In the action scripts the positional arguments are used. The values of the input parameters are passed from Migration Manager to the scripts in the predefined order. The names of the input parameters are not passed by Migration Manager.

3. If action script fails, migration is aborted.
