Prepare the source environment
Before you begin the steps for migration, perform some critical tasks on the source environment, such as creating back ups, installing the latest cumulative fix and one of the two most recent fix packs, and disabling automatic synchronization if we are migrating a cluster. Review the topics in this section and perform the required tasks to ensure the source environment remains functional and the migration completes successfully.
If we are using locahost in the database URL, update the URL to use the actual database server host name before continuing with the migration.
For more details on preparing the source environment, review the following topics in this section and the Roadmaps for migration.
