Steps

Entire migration process involves two parts.

Part 1: Generate Migration URL

1. Click on "Import Data" from base homepage.
2. Select "NocoDB" as datasource.
3. Click on "Generate & Copy URL".
4. The URL will be copied to the clipboard. Modal will now switch to listening mode, awaiting the trigger for the migration from the OSS instance.

Part 2: Migrate Base from OSS

On OSS Instance (Instance-1), use following steps to migrate the base:

1. Use base context menu and click on "Settings".
2. Select "Migrate" tab.
3. Paste the URL copied from Instance-2.
4. Click on "Migrate".

That's it! Your base will now get migrated to the Enterprise Edition of NocoDB. On completion, a popup will appear with the migration status on Instance-1. On Instance-2, you will see a confirmation message on the base homepage.
