The stage is the highest scheduling level of migration procedures. The stages are named via a local menu. These are the following:

• Currently, the initializing stage is not used in standard operations but it makes it possible to trigger various preliminary control procedures and processings.
• the common stage is carried out afterwards. It is supposed to process all the tables common to several modules, for which migration is a prerequisite to any other module data procedure.
• the module stage makes it possible to launch the functional migration procedures (in the order of the stages, then the modules). A module is linked to each of this stage procedure.
• the post-migration stage is a mandatory stage to have the migrated folder operate normally, but whose procedures can be deferred with resulting limitations upon using the migrated folder. To define such stages and defer their launching during migration makes it possible for users to restart operations as fast as possible in a degraded mode, and to finish migrating later, for instance in the next inactivity period, so as to recover the overall functionalities of the migrated software.
