Migrating Reference Data from CAS to Construction

Data migration is the process of moving data from one product database to another, usually for a product upgrade or relocation. A migration only transfers data that does not already exist in the target location. Once successfully migrated, data is managed in the new location and can no longer be managed in the source location.

The Migrate Reference Data from CAS interface moves the following reference information from client/server CAS to AASHTOWare Project Construction: counties and districts; administrative offices, addresses, and phone numbers; code tables and values; contractor evaluations; equipment; personnel; payment schedules; items; payment estimate types; price indices; vendors, vendor addresses, work classes, insurance, officers, and affiliates; account transactions; security accounts; special provisions; funds; materials and material categories; item material sets and item materials; and reference attachments.

Note: For more information about migrating reference data, see the AASHTOWare Project Construction & Materials Data Migration Plan document, available on the AASHTOWare Project web site.
