Step 5. Migrate Resource Metadata

Step 5. Migrate Resource Metadata

If you updated the values of custom attributes or the business names for objects in the source environment, you must migrate the resource metadata. To migrate resource metadata, export the resource metadata from the source repository to a Microsoft Excel file. Then, import the Excel file into the target repository.
If you did not update the values of custom attributes or business names in the source environment, skip this step.
When you import the Excel file into the target repository, Metadata Manager imports the custom attribute and business name values. Custom attributes are also called custom properties.
For example, in a development environment, you updated the Business Name property for most objects in a packaged resource. You want to migrate the business names to the production environment. Export the resource metadata to an Excel file and include the custom attributes and business names. When you import the Excel file in the target environment, Metadata Manager imports the business name values for the objects in the resource.
Export and import resource metadata between Metadata Manager repositories with the same version. You cannot import resource metadata from a different version.
For more information about exporting and importing custom properties and custom property values, see the
Metadata Manager Custom Metadata Integration Guide

Is there any documentation or resource that helps us to understand how migration from Informatica Metadata Manager to IDMC or Informatica Cloud is possible?

Hi Ganesh Kotpalliwar,

We’re working to address your comments and will get back to you.

Thanks, Informatica Documentation team

Hi Ganesh Kotpalliwar,
At present, we do not have a utility to migrate data between Metadata Manager and Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) or Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS). If you are looking for a migration utility, we request you to contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
Thanks, Informatica Documentation team
