The UnderMigration Property

The Migration-Only Database might be opened in System Modeler. The majority of its properties is read-only. One of the exceptions to this is the UnderMigration property, which for a Migration-Only Database has a value of True

The UnderMigration property might be changed to a value of False, which convert the Migration-Only Database into a regular (editable) database. However, this operation is irreversible and should not be done without due consideration. When you change the UnderMigration property to false, a warning message is displayed to advise you of this and request confirmation to proceed.

Once you change the property value to false, the UnderMigration property is no longer displayed in the list of properties in the Properties Window. The other properties displayed in the Properties Window is enabled, indicating the database is no longer read-only.

Restrictions

If an element is deleted in the 3R3 model and it is partially imported, the corresponding element never gets deleted in the AB Suite after the partial import.
