Migrate Hue Artifacts to an Ambari View

An administrator-level user can use the HueToAmbari view instance to migrate existing Hue 2.6.1 artifacts into Ambari views.

Prerequisites

Review the requirements for Hue-to Views migration and complete all prerequisites.
Create a view instance, using the Hue-To-Views migration tool.
In the following example, this instance is called HueMigration view.

Steps

On your standalone views server, using the Ambari Admin page, create an administrator-level user.
Grant permission for the admin user to use the HueMigration view.
Log in to the HueMigration view as the administrator user.
Logging in initializes the database for the new view.
Wait while the view performs database checks.

To transfer artifacts:
Steps

4. Click Submit.
  When the migration completes, a migration report displays.
