Abstract

A method and software for performing data migration is described in which a common data migration driver routine is provided to handle various and disparate kinds of migration operations in a conceptually unified manner. Differences between the migration operations are handled by variations in how the state of the data migration driver routine is initialized, including pointers to low-level routines. Furthermore, a table of actions can be used to direct the basic operation of object copying, external reference created, and object interning.
