Add a Wave

Add a Wave on the Waves page, the first page that opens when Console opens (also accessible by clicking Waves on the Navigation pane).

A Wave is a categorization for a migration project and is the first level of the hierarchy. A migration project must have at least one Wave, but can have multiple Waves. A Wave could be a country where a migration project is rolled out or a specific work location.

A Wave contains a data source which contains the target tables downloaded from an ERP system.

To add a Wave:

  1. Enter a Wave name in NAME field.

    NOTE: This name and the name of the Process Area are combined to create a context.

    NOTE: A Wave name can be a maximum of 10 characters long.

    NOTE: The ACTIVE check box is checked by default. If the check box is not checked for a Wave, the contexts that use this Wave will not display in the Context bar and cannot be used in dspMigrate™.

  2. Add a description of the Wave in DESCRIPTION field.

  3. Click Save; the Vertical View displays.

  4. Select an option from the Target System list box.

    NOTE: A Wave can have multiple target systems. Refer to Add Multiple Target Systems at the Wave-Process Area Level for more information.

  5. Click Save.

A Wave can also be added by copying an existing Wave. Refer to Copy Elements for more information.

NOTE: If a user is currently working in a context (i.e., that context displays on the user’s Context bar), neither the Wave nor Process Area in the context can be deleted.
