OutSystems data migration
Code conversion gets most of the attention in migration conversations. Data migration is where projects actually stall if it isn't planned explicitly — especially OutSystems-specific concerns like BPT (Business Process Technology) state and audit trail continuity.
What actually needs a plan
Your OutSystems entities map to tables in the platform's managed database. Migrating them means preserving referential integrity, entity-level business logic (validation rules, calculated attributes), and any OutSystems-specific data types, into the target stack's data layer.
In-flight BPT processes have state that needs an explicit strategy — whether that's letting existing processes complete on the old system before cutover, or migrating in-flight state into the new process engine.
Compliance and audit requirements often mean historical records need to remain queryable after cutover, even if they're not actively used going forward — this needs an explicit retention and access decision, not a default assumption either way.
Data extraction requires the right access model to your OutSystems environments — scoped, time-boxed, and agreed in advance, covered in detail on our security and data-handling page.
