Points to Know
The following are two ways for migrating the projects:
Using Project Migration Utility: Qualitia provides a Utility to migrate multiple projects in a single instance.
Using Qualitia Client: From Qualitia v7.3.0, if you select a non-migrated project, an error message is displayed in Qualitia that prompts you to migrate the selected project only. Upon clicking Migrate Now on this message, Qualitia guides you for migration of the selected project only.
In each screen of the migration process, you have an option to go to the previous screen or cancel the migration process at any time.
Any user having database and version control tool credentials can run the Project Migration Utility.
