Please note, app-compatibility with JCMA is still considered as in beta. JSU is offering our customers and partners early-access to the functionality and so that we may get feedback on the migration experience by participating customers. This means that while we strive for functionality that works 100% as intended, there may be undiscovered issues as we test and improve the compatibility. Additionally, due to some feature differences between JSU Server and JSU Cloud, not all features can be migrated at this time. It is highly recommended to first test your migration so that you may become familiar with the results, before proceeding to migrate your Server app-data to your production Cloud instance. |
