IBM i Migrate While Active Monitoring
Monitor Migrate While Active environments including migration manager state, library and IFS tracking, compression, and synchronization estimates using QSYS2 SQL services.
Available Tools
The ibmi CLI is the primary tool for migration monitoring. Set SKILL_DIR to this skill's installed location (the directory containing this SKILL.md file):
# SKILL_DIR = directory containing this SKILL.md
# Examples: ./skills/migrate-while-active, ~/.claude/skills/migrate-while-active
ibmi tools --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/" --toolset migrate_while_active_default
ibmi tool get_migration_manager_info --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
ibmi sql "SELECT * FROM QSYS2.MIGRATION_MANAGER_INFO"
Service Selection Guide
Migration Status
- QSYS2.MIGRATION_MANAGER_INFO -- Overall migration state, phase, and node info
- QSYS2.LIBRARY_MIGRATION_LIST -- Library objects being tracked for migration
- QSYS2.IFS_MIGRATION_LIST -- IFS objects being tracked for migration
Completed Migrations
- QSYS2.MIGRATED_LIBRARY -- Successfully migrated library objects
- QSYS2.MIGRATED_IFS -- Successfully migrated IFS objects
Planning & Estimation
- SYSIBMADM.DATA_COMPRESSION_FACTOR -- Compression ratios for data types
- QSYS2.ESTIMATE_FINAL_SYNCHRONIZATION_TIME -- Final sync time estimate
- QSYS2.MIGRATION_NETWORK_BANDWIDTH -- Network bandwidth measurements
Key Capabilities
Migration Tracking
- Manager Status -- Current migration phase, stage, and node states
- Library Migration -- Track library-based object migration progress
- IFS Migration -- Track IFS object migration progress
- Failure Detection -- Identify objects that failed to migrate
Completion Monitoring
- Migrated Libraries -- Verify library objects completed migration
- Migrated IFS -- Verify IFS objects completed migration
- Time-based Filtering -- Show objects migrated within recent hours
Cutover Planning
- Compression Analysis -- Understand data compression ratios
- Sync Time Estimate -- Predict final synchronization duration
- Bandwidth Testing -- Measure network throughput to copy node
Common Use Cases
- Check migration status -- Get overall migration phase and progress
- Monitor library progress -- Track which libraries are migrating
- Identify failures -- Find objects that failed to migrate
- Verify completion -- Confirm objects successfully migrated
- Plan cutover -- Estimate final sync time and bandwidth
- Troubleshoot -- Investigate migration failures and bottlenecks
Quick Examples

ibmi tool get_migration_manager_info --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
List objects being migrated
ibmi tool list_library_migration --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
Find migration failures
ibmi tool list_migration_failures --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
Estimate final sync time
ibmi tool estimate_final_sync_time --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
