1.6.8 Migration Performance Guidelines

Migrating all inventory data takes significantly longer than migrating asset management data only,
unless the inventory has very few devices. The guidelines listed below are very broad, and your
actual performance depends on several factors, including:
Configuration of the database server(s) hosting the ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 and
ZENworks 10 Asset Management databases
Network speed and configuration
Amount of Usage and History data in the ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 database
It is strongly recommended that you purge the ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 database before
you begin the migration process.
