Estate Explorer product tour

Estate View section view, description below

On this page is a visual illustration of the database estate. The Estate View shows all of the found connections between databases in the Catalog. This is based upon the presence of Database links.

Databases are grouped together into clusters. A cluster may indicate that there are data-related dependencies between members of the cluster. When a database inter-connects between two clusters, it will take on the color of the largest cluster.

Understanding these relationships can be very important when deciding on migration strategy, priority and order. It is possible that highly interdependent databases should be moved together as a group rather than individually.

In addition, the specific databases in the visualization are named.
