Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to application migration and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for application migration through migratable units. In one embodiment, an application migration method can include decomposing an application migration into a plurality of migratable units (MUs). The MUs can be prioritized for migration to a target platform. Thereafter, each of the MUs can be migrated in an order defined by the prioritization. Finally, a stateful wizard can be provided which can reduce the complexity of the migration by providing a dashboard to the migration process.
