Defines the database objects for the target databases. Database names for the model and catalog databases can be customized to suit your needs.
The Server Mapping Information cells customize the servers associated to the site database objects. Databases to be converted can be identified by specifying Create or Overwrite in the Selection column, and databases that do not need to be converted can be identified by specifying Ignore.
-
You must run the Database > Integrity Command and clean all corrupted objects that are of fatal or crucial severity before running database conversion on a source database.
-
You must convert the site before you convert catalogs and models. If the site is set to be ignored in the conversion process, the software checks whether the site is available on the target server and compares the source and destination site databases to know if it is a converted database. If any check fails, you cannot proceed any further.
-
You must convert catalogs before you convert models. If a catalog is set to be ignored in the conversion process, the software checks whether the catalog is available on the target server. If the corresponding catalog is not available on the target server, you cannot proceed any further.
-
By default, if the source database has more than one location object, all the locations are mapped to the target server that you have defined on the Source and Target Databases page. You cannot change the host location server name, but are required to change the server names for the other locations. The host location should not match the other location servers.
Server mapping information

Type
Displays the database type, for example: Site, Model, or Catalog.
Name of Database
Specifies the name of the database after conversion. The default is the source database name. If you are converting a Smart 3D Microsoft SQL Server database to Oracle, the name of the target Oracle database must not be more than 30 characters or start with a numeric character.
Schema Database Associated to Database
Specifies the schema database name associated to the name of database after conversion.
Selection
Specifies whether to convert the database. Select Create/Overwrite to create the new database with the specified name and overwrite any existing database with the same name on the selected target server. Select Ignore to exclude the database from further processing.
