1.6.1 Migrating Inventory Data

When you migrate inventory data, by default you migrate the following:
Devices (including workstations marked as deleted, if desired. For more information, see
Section 1.6.1, "Migrating Inventory Data," on page
Device history
Local software products
Hardware/software components
Asset management usage data
Inventory and asset management administrator-defined fields (known as user-defined fields in
ZENworks Asset Management 7.5)
Inventory and asset management custom reports
NOTE: The Migrate All Inventory Data option is not available for Oracle database migration.
Staging a Migration
You can do a staged migration by selecting a subset of workstations to migrate. Usage and inventory
data is migrated when the workstation is migrated; additional usage and inventory data
accumulating in ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 after initial migration of a workstation is not
migrated.
NOTE: Do not migrate asset management data until all staging is complete.
Migrating Deleted Workstations
You can migrate workstations marked as deleted in ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 to ZENworks
10 Asset Management. After migration, these workstations appear as discovered devices in
ZENworks Control Center (Devices > Discovered > Devices created via ZENworks Asset
Management Migration), but they are filtered out of Asset Management reports. For information on
migrating deleted workstations, see
