<div>This statement in DMA leads me to beleive that the info is replicated but i need to be sure. Can anyone confirm?</div>

<p>DMA export should be run a few weeks prior to the actual upgrade event, depending on the size of the system. This allows time for you to analyze and correct the existing data to be compliant with the new upgraded system and to ensure the final DMA export will not contain any error.

<div>When DMA creates the informix DB on the CM4.x PUB does it take a snapshot of the current database at the time that its run and maintain that copy of the DB indefinitely or does it actually create a snapshot and keep a running replication of the actual CM database so that changes via ccmadmin are captured in the informix DB?
</div>
<div>Scenario</div>
<div>Customer wants to install DMA tomorrow during their maintenance window however they want to pull the actual DMA backup in 2 weeks right before we cut the new system? So in theory if DMA does not replicate the DBs they could have a DMA backup that's 2 weeks old?
