This type of migration facilitates the copying of objects between two PAC-defined Applications.

Migrations from this status type can only be to CONTROL and no other status type. During migrations in this category all connected objects are migarted, Source, Object and Xref if present. If only source code or object code are present, then only they will be migrated. No compilation (CATALL) takes place during this type of migration. The objects are merely copied from one Applications compartment to another one. As no compile takes place, PAC cannot build 'used' or 'used-by' lists for these migrated objects.

Versioning does take place during these types of migrations, however, if during a migration PAC encounters a like named object then the in-coming object will receive the next highest available version number for that object. For exapmle, if we were to migrate an object called 'PDA001' from application_1 to application_2 and application_2 already had an object called 'PDA001' version number (7), then the in-coming object would obtain a version number (8).
