Migration involves several concepts:
- Conversion of
AX artifacts to the corresponding
N4 format; for example, station .bog files, Px files. The
N4 migration tool handles this conversion.
- “Wire compatibility” (communications) between
AX and
N4, with the possibility that some migrated jobs must retain some number of
AX controllers. Some platform types cannot be migrated, for example, JACE-2 controllers.
- For platforms to be migrated that use custom
AX software modules, the custom modules must be refactored as
N4-compatible modules.
