Platform Analytics Migration Center
When you migrate your Core UI data, your existing dashboards, reports, interactive filters, and Performance Analytics widgets are moved to Platform Analytics. When you activate the migration, the result is a single set of visualizations and unified filters for all data sources.
To learn more about Platform Analytics and the Migration Center, see the Platform Analytics enablement toolkit on the ServiceNow Community.
From the Zurich release, both Core UI and Platform Analytics experience dashboards and visualizations sit side by side in the Platform Analytics library. Analytics managers can choose to migrate individual Core UI dashboards from the common library page.
Platform Analytics experience is enabled by default for all users on upgrade to Australia.
Once migration is complete, you won't be able to add Core UI reports, PA widgets and filters to Platform Analytics experience dashboards. It is possible to add only migrated content and content created within Platform Analytics experience to these dashboards.
It is not possible to migrate dashboards using an update set.
What is migrated
Both Core UI and Platform Analytics experience content is available in the library. The migration process takes your dashboard content and migrates it from Core UI (Dashboards and visualizations in the classic environment) to the Platform Analytics experience. If you use indicators, you get tools to alert you of significant changes.
What isn't migrated
The short answer is that almost everything is migrated. Most Core UI dashboard content is supported in Platform Analytics experience. Some content doesn’t have an analogous Platform Analytics feature. Any dashboard with content that isn't migrated and is migrated into a container, also called an iframe. This is called Compatibility mode. For detailed information about content that isn't migrated, see Content not migrated or migrated in compatibility mode.
What is the migration process
- Remove unused dashboards
- Remove any unused dashboards and reports to promote a streamlined process.
- Navigate to pa_dashboards.list, select the dashboards you want to delete, and then select .
- Navigate to , select the reports you want to delete, and then select .
- Run the migration procedure
- The procedure identifies what can be migrated directly into Platform Analytics and what is migrated in Compatibility Mode.
- Review the migration results
- You may identify dashboards or other content that you don't want to migrate, for example, unused dashboards, out-of-date visualizations, or filters that don't work as expected.
- Activate the migration
- Activation might be time-consuming, depending on how much content you are migrating.
Create custom content
You can use tools such as UI Builder to create custom content that meets the needs of content that doesn't migrate.
What happens to my menus
Before migration, users navigated to to view the dashboard overview and to to view the list of reports. After you activate the migration, all analytics content, including dashboards, data visualizations, filters, and KPIs are under .
Block Migration Options
You can disable the Start Moving and Activate
Platform Analytics experience options. Create the system property com.glide.par.coreui.migration.enabled and set it to False. If you set the property to
False before you migrate any content, both options are disabled. If you set the property to false after you migrate your content, only the Activate button is disabled.
If you want to start the migration and view what artifacts are in compatibility mode, and resolve any issues, set the property to False after you run the migration to prevent activation of Platform Analytics experience. If you want to prevent the migration process, set the property to False first.
