Requirements and prerequisites

Requirements and prerequisites for successful data migration.

Please note the following conditions for successful migration of data from SolidDB or Oracle to AppScan® Database Service:

For exporting data, the migration utility must be placed in the AppScan® Source installation path.
- Windows:
```
C:\Program Files\HCL\AppScanSource\migration_util_win
```
- Linux
```
/opt/hcl/appscansource/migration_util_linux
```
Note: As of version 10.0.7, AppScan® Source has an updated installation path. However, upgrading from version 10.0.6 or earlier will retain the original install path.
For importing data, the migration utility can be placed in any location on any system as long as it is visible and accessible to AppScan® Enterprise and exported data can be accessed from that location.
Import data into a fresh install of AppScan® Enterprise. Importing data using the migration utility will overwrite any and all AppScan® Source-related data in the AppScan® Enterprise server.
Before importing data, verify that AppScan® Enterprise has been configured to use the AppScan® Database Service. See AppScan® Enterprise configuration for additional information.
Data can be exported from any version of AppScan® Source configured with SolidDB/Oracle.
