Command-Line Interface for Migration

As an alternative to using the SQL Developer graphical interface for migration operations, you can use the migration batch file (Windows) or shell script (Linux) on the operating system command line. These files are located in the sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin folder or sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin directory under the location where you installed SQL Developer.

migration.bat or migration.sh accepts these commands: capture, convert, datamove, delcaptured, delconn, delconverted, driver, generate, guide, help, idmap, info, init, lscaptured, lsconn, lsconverted, mkconn, qm, runsql, and scan. For information about the syntax and options, start by running migration without any parameters at the system command prompt. For example:

C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin>migration

You can use the -help option for information about one or more actions. For the most detailed information, including some examples, use the -help=guide option. For example:

C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin>migration -help=guide
