Generate tasks for data migration project

After reviewing and completing the data migration setup records with related messages and documents, you can generate tasks based on these records.

Tasks are created based on the areas and sublevels assigned to the data migration setup records as follows:

A root task is created for the record whose area has the lowest level and whose area sublevel is also the lowest.
A task is created beneath the root task for the record with the same area and the next area sublevel. If no such record exists, a task is created for the record whose area is the next level and whose area sublevel is the lowest for that area.
A task is created beneath the previous task for the record with the same area and the next area sublevel. If no such record exists, a task is created for the record whose area is the next level and whose area sublevel is the lowest for that area.
Step 3 is repeated until a task is created for each record.

To each created task, the message is added as defined for the related data migration setup record.

Note
If records exist with the same area and area sublevel, only one task is created based on these records. For all these records, the messages are added to this one task.

When a message is added to a task during task generation, and the related data migration setup record is:

Active, the related message action is set to 'Run'. So, if the task is run, the message is run.
Not active, the related message action is set to 'Skip'. So, if the task is run, the message is not run.

Example

For a data migration project, these data migration setup records are used:

ODBC mapping generator displaying source and target table mappings with status and area details.

Note the use of status, areas, area sublevels, and record activation.

The generated task structure, as shown on the Project page, is:

Overview of project tasks with area levels and corresponding values listed clearly.

The generated tasks with added messages, and the set message actions are:

Task	Message	Action
Area: 10, level: 10	CUSTGROUP	Run
Area: 10, level: 10	VENDGROUP	Skip
Area: 20, level: 10	INVENTTABLE	Skip
Area: 30, level: 20	VENDGROUP	Run
Area: 30, level: 30	PURCHTABLE	Skip
Area: 40, level: 20	CUSTTABLE	Run
Area: 40, level: 30	SALESTABLE	Skip
