Migration


Actions
To migrate a WFINITIATE action, which initiates a workflow process, the workflow process must be active. Therefore, two deployments are required. Migrate the workflow process and activate it in the target environment first, and then migrate the action.
Action groups
To migrate action groups that are created in the Actions application, you must also migrate all the actions that are in each action group. If you do not migrate the actions, the action groups cannot be used in the target environment.
Charts of accounts
Migration Manager does not migrate charts of accounts (GLs).
