History of Changes

This section provides the history of changes in the currently available Migration Manager versions. Migration Manager versions for Odin Automation 7.3 and earlier are discontinued.

Odin Automation 8.3, Migration Manager v. 618, Released on 29 November 2019

Additions and enhancements in migration from OBAS:

During migration, service users are created in Odin Automation for migrated mailboxes. If a service user in the source OBAS system could access Plesk and manage their mailboxes, they will be able to manage their mailboxes in WebHosting Plesk as well.
The interface language used by customers is preserved during migration. Upon logging in to Odin Automation, users see the interface in the same language as they used in the source OBAS system.
Information about the customers' state or province is now transferred to Odin Automation.
To speed up migration, providers can disable the migration of mailbox contents and disable DNS forwarding from OBAS DNS servers to Odin Automation DNS servers.
During migration planning, providers can use a comma-separated list of subscription IDs to specify which subscriptions to migrate.
During migration, new accounts and subscriptions can be created in the source system. Providers can make the migration manager refresh information related to specific source hosts or accounts.
