Creating an assessment task

Create an assessment task to evaluate the conversion feasibility of the assets in the cloud environment.

Before you assess a repository, perform the following steps:

Store the parameter file in ZIP format in the shared directory you created. Ensure that the parameter file contains only text content. If the parameter file includes executables or binary files, file validation fails and prevents the assessment task from running.

If you want to repoint the assets to a different endpoint after migrating to the cloud, create a repoint configuration to specify the repoint parameters. For information about creating a repoint configuration, see the Creating a Repoint configuration topic.
