Strategy migration utility tool

A utility is provided to migrate the strategies created using the old Strategy user interface prior to version 12.0 to the new models so that they can be viewed and edited on the new Strategy user interface. In addition, this strategy migration tool can be used to revert the migration, i.e., smart strategies introduced in Unica Interact version 12.0 to the older model.

Note:

This migration utility only needs to be run when upgrading Interact from version prior to 12.0 to any version up to 12.1.0.2. From 12.1.0,3 onwards, Interact DT Upgrade Tool will run this utility automatically to migrate all old strategies to smart strategies. For usage, see the Interact Upgrade Guides of previous versions.
