Model Imports

To avoid surprises after the upgrade/migration, it is critical to make sure that you start with a stable environment. The most important aspect of that is to make sure all imports are working before any upgrade because the source may no longer be available, may not have been imported with the latest version of the bridge, or may simply not have been imported for a long time.

1. Apply the latest MIMM and MIMB Cumulative patches (in the application server and all MIMB Harvesting Agents).
2. Make sure that all Configurations are NOT on auto update.
3. Stop any scheduled operations, including all automatic metadata harvesting and database maintenance (MANAGE > Schedules).
4. Delete the model import cache in $MM_HOME/data/MIMB/cache).
5. Manual full import (no incremental harvesting) of all Models (one by one) with clear import cache and uncheck "Create new versions only when new import has changes".
6. Manual force build of all Configurations (one by one) with testing (connection stitching as needed for lineage).
