Run, Save, and Automate DBConvert Jobs
Use this guide once source and target connections are ready. It focuses on turning setup into a runnable job and a reusable workflow.
Where this guide fits
Use this page after the source and target connections are already selected.
Already Done
Source connected
Credentials and source database are ready.
Target selected
Destination database or dump output is ready.
Choose what to transfer and how to map it
Select the tables, fields, indexes, foreign keys, and views that should be copied or synchronized. Start with broad defaults, then adjust only the objects that need exceptions.
Set global database and tables options first, then override a specific table, field, or index / foreign key only where required.
For the full screen-by-screen walkthrough, open Customization overview.
Object selection and table options before execution.
Review warnings before you run
The built-in checker highlights data-integrity, referential-integrity, naming, and compatibility issues before migration or synchronization starts.
Default type mapping uses the closest target equivalent. Override mappings at the database level with Global mapping, or change them field by field when only a small subset needs adjustment.
Open Pre-migration checks for the warning list and resolution patterns.
Warnings and small defects should be reviewed before the job starts.
Run the job and save the session
Once the source, target, and options are ready, start the migration or synchronization from the execution screen.
Click Commit to begin and watch overall progress together with the current operation.
Save the current setup as a session if you expect to rerun the same job later from the UI, command line, or scheduler.
Execution progress while the job is running.
Session control for saving and reopening reusable jobs.
