IFS Applications business data are stored in a Oracle database. Data Management is about how this data can be migrated, replicated and archived.
Data Migration is a tool that loads data from external sources into the application core objects in IFS Applications. This tool is typically used to move data from previous legacy systems when an IFS solution is first implemented, or when systems are consolidated.
Replication makes it possible for several installations of IFS Applications to share basic data.
Data Archiving is a way of moving data from a production database to a specified data archive destination.
