Confusion in Migration of project from on-prem to Azure

[KSM]

Hello all,

I have some confusion could you please suggest which approach is best.

1. In migration project, first create the empty Database and proceed with Thing Worx Installation and then Importing the Custom apps. 

2. In migration project, first create Database and restore the DB files into Database which have taken from Production and then proceed with Thing Worx Installation and then Importing the Custom apps like into Thing Worx.

If you are reinstall the same version of thingworx in azure, then its simply a database migration alone is fine.

• Install thingworx with as usual steps
• Backup database from on-prem
• Restore database to Azure
• After successful installation of Thingworx, just point the restored db details in platform-settings.json
