Defining the Resource Bundle to Migrate
Each deployment plan can contain one operation that migrates a resource bundle to a target site.
You control how you want the migration to happen. For example, you can specify things like resource retention policies, how to filter resources, and how to handle caches for the resources being migrated. This section describes how to define the operation to migrate a resource bundle.
Note: Each deployment plan can include only one resource bundle. If you want to migrate multiple resources in a single plan, you need to add them to one resource bundle. See Defining Resource Bundles.
To define the resources to migrate in a deployment plan
1. Click PLANS.
2. Select a plan.
If you need to create a new plan, see Creating a New Deployment Plan.
3. Select the Operations tab.
4. Click Edit.
5. Click Add Operation.
6. Select Migrate Resources Operation to add a resource bundle to the deployment plan.
7. In the Select Bundle from <source_site> dialog, select the resource bundle you want to include in the plan.
Note: Only one resource bundle can be selected per deployment plan.
Deployment Manager displays the bundle and its resource tree.
8. Expand the bundle resource tree to see the first level of resources for this bundle.
9. Optionally, click Preview Bundle to view a complete list of all resources that are included and excluded in this bundle. All resources in the main bundle resource are included unless they shown as dimmed text.
a. Click OK to close the preview.
10. Click OK.
Deployment Manager adds the operation to the list of operations.
11. Optionally, edit the deployment plan options for this bundle as needed and click Save after changing an option.

Required?
Bundle
Review the current bundle resources. Optionally, select a different bundle to migrate.
If a resource has been excluded from the bundle, but another object in the bundle has a dependency on the excluded resource, the excluded resource is migrated anyway.
Yes
Retention Policy
Select the resource retention policy from the following list of values:
• Keep Non-Colliding (default)—If the target site folder to which the resources are being migrated contains any resources, they are kept. Only resources by the same name are overwritten.
• Keep None—If the target site folder to which the resources are being migrated contains any resources, they are deleted from the target site.
Yes
Target Location
If the target TDV is online, double-click the row and browse for the desired location.
If the target TDV is offline, type a location in the target site where you want the bundle to be migrated. If you do not specify a target location, the default target location specified on the General tab is used. If no default target location is specified on the General tab, then the resources are migrated to the same location they had on the source site.
Format: /<directory>/<directory>...
Example: /shared/examples
Yes
Target Default Owner
Enter the user on the target site who will own these resources. This user must exist on the target site or must be migrated to the target site in a principal bundle in the same deployment plan. Also, this user will have the same resource privileges as they have on the source site.
If you do not specify an owner, the owner will be the same as the owner on the source site.
Format: <domain>/<username>
Example: composite/Mary
No
Principal Bundle Filter
Select a principal bundle to use as a filter in the dialog box. The resource privileges for the principals in that bundle are migrated to the same principals in the target.
If the principals do not exist on the target site, you should also migrate a principal bundle containing them.
To clear a previous selection for the Principal Bundle Filter, select <clear selection>.
No
Caches for New Objects
Select the cache retention policy from the following list of values:
• Create Cache Tables (default)
• Do Not Create Cache Tables
This option applies to data source caches only; it is not applicable to file-based caches. See Caching and Deployment Manager for more information about caches and Deployment Manager.
Yes
Caches for Existing Objects
Select the cache retention policy from the following list of values:
• Re-Create Cache Tables (default)
• Do Not Re-Create Cache Tables
This option applies to data source caches only; it is not applicable to file-based caches. See Caching and Deployment Manager for more information about caches and Deployment Manager.
Yes
