ServiceMax Migration Tool: Migration of Dispatch processes / configurations

[slortscher]

Currently the ServiceMax Migration tool does not support migration of Dispatch Processes or Configuration Items. Some large enterprise customers have a large set of configuration items that need to be manually reconfigured through a new org or loaded through data loader.

Support for the following processes would be a major help.

Configuration items related to Dispatch Console such as Event Hover Rules, Event Subject Rules, Dispatch Console Field Updates, Dispatch Console Views, and Dispatch Console Hovers

Dispatch Processes, and associated configurations such as MTTS Rules, Territory Match Rules, Booking Windows, SLA Terms, Technician Eligibility Rules, and Skill Match Rules.

Looks like Dispatch Console views can now be migrated as of Winter 16.

have you tested this yet?

haven't gotten a chance to play around on new version yet - but am curious as this would be great tool to utilize

[slortscher]

Yes, I tested and it works fine.  I have only migrated one small set though.

appreciate the response

Update on this idea:

1. As part of 19.3 release, Migration tool will support migration of Dispatch Process & Skill Match Rules.

Note: Transaction record details set of the configuration will not be migrated i.e. as part of Dispatch Process migration, we will not migrate user value set on the 'Technician' field in Assignment rules. Post migration this value has to be set by admin.

2. Other configurations such as MTTS Rules, Territory Match Rules, SLA Terms, Technician Eligibility Rules are on the roadmap.

It would be really nice to migrate skill match rules and dispatch processes, since we will have more than 200 skill match rules and it is very painful to do it manually...

When will the new release come? @shivaranjini_g
