Using the ThirdParty Migration app, you can migrate any backup jobs that can be restored as files from a HP Data Protector (HPDP) client to the ObjectStore. The app restores the HPDP backup jobs to the staging client, and initiates the backup schedules for migration to ObjectStore.
Note: We migrate the third-party backups as files (file system data) from HPDP. You can migrate only file system data to the Commvault ObjectStore. You cannot migrate data of other agents or applications such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, NDMP and VMware.
Before You Begin
Configure the ObjectStore for Migration.
Note the staging path that you configured on the ObjectStore client. The staging client that you configured on the ObjectStore client must be a computer which has HPDP and Commvault File System Agent installed.
You can choose either a Windows or a Linux client as the staging client for the migration. For example, if you are migrating data from Linux client, use a staging client on Linux.
Import the ThirdPartyMigration app from Commvault Store. For more information, see Importing an App.
For additional prerequisites, contact Commvault support.

Note: If the HPDP command line operations do not work during the third-party migration, the migration job will fail or moves to a pending state. To troubleshoot issues with the HPDP command line operations, contact Micro Focus support.
What to Do Next
The ObjectStore user can now access and manage the files from the Web Console.
