Procedure Overview
This standard operating procedure describes at a high level how to register a Migration Object Data Source (dsw* database) in the Stewardship Tier. Syniti recommends that a Migration Object database is created for each Wave/Process Area combination and that the database and the Migration Object Data Source's naming convention follows the Wave / Process Area's naming. For example, if there was a Wave called WAVE1 with Process Area P2P, then the recommended name of the database and Migration Object Data Source would be dswWAVE1_P2P.
The procedure is a high-level document designed to guide the user on best practice. For more detailed information consult the online help.
