Setting up Migration

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Important

This feature is currently only available through an invitation-only Private Preview, as both it and the documentation are under development, incomplete, and subject to change.

Please do not share links to these docs with others outside of the Private Preview.

Once this feature is released, it will be announced and this banner removed.

Before you can perform a migration using the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud Migration feature, you need to ensure that your On-Premises Publisher (Publisher) is connected to the same PMPC Cloud Company that you plan to migrate the objects to.

Note

See Add a Connection for further details.

You also need to ensure that the Enable Application Migration checkbox on the Cloud tab is checked.

Note

If you do not see the Enable Application Migration checkbox on the Cloud tab, ensure you are running the required version of Publisher as detailed in Migration Requirements.

By default the Publisher polls the ConfigMgr Site Database every 60 minutes for application changes.

Important

If you click Disconnect on the Cloud tab of the Publisher, all of the data for the Migration feature will be deleted from your PMPC Cloud company. You should avoid doing this until you have completed the migration of everything you need to migrate from ConfigMgr to PMPC Cloud.

Next, sign in to your PMPC Cloud company and verify that the Migration node is visible.
