Adding Resources to an Application
You can manually add source servers and Oracle databases to an application. To gather details about these resources, you need to install the MgC Agent (formerly Edge) in the source environment.
Preparations
- Create a migration project on the MgC console.
- Install the MgC Agent in the source intranet environment and connect the MgC Agent to MgC.
- Add resource credentials to the MgC Agent.
- Create an application on the application management page.
Adding a Server
- Sign in to the MgC console. In the navigation pane, under Project, choose a project from the drop-down list.
- In the navigation pane, click Resource List.
- In the application list, click an application name.
- On the Servers tab, click Add above the list.
- In the displayed dialog box, configure parameters based on Table 1 and click Confirm. The system automatically checks the credential status and starts collecting resource details.

Description
Name
User-defined
MgC Agent
Select the MgC Agent installed in the source environment.
Type
Select the OS type of the source server.
Access IP Address
Enter the IP address of the source server.
If the source server is in the same VPC as the MgC Agent, you can enter the private IP address of the server. Otherwise, you have to enter its public IP address.
Port
Enter the port on the source server that allows access from the MgC Agent.
- The port defaults to 5985 on Windows and can be modified.
- The port defaults to 22 on Linux and can be modified.
Credential
Select the server credential. If the credential is not displayed in the list, go to the MgC Agent console, add the server credential, and synchronize it to MgC.
Whether to check migration items
Decide whether to select the checkbox I authorize MgC to collect and save the raw data for later analysis. Selecting it helps identify risks beforehand.
- Deselected: MgC only performs deep collection.
- Selected: MgC performs deep collection and identifies dependency risks. Click a server name to check the analysis result on the resource details page.
- After the server is added, view it in the list. When Collected shows up in the Deep Collection column and you have authorized MgC to gather raw migration command results, click the server name and view the command execution results on the Migration Commands tab.
