Are patterns and service definitions migrated together?

In the context of Service Mapping, patterns and service definitions serve distinct purposes and therefore must be handled separately during migration processes. Patterns are the templates or models that define how services are built or structured, while service definitions provide the specific parameters and configurations used within those templates.

Migrating these components together could create confusion and complexity, as each has its own set of dependencies and configuration nuances. By migrating them separately, you can ensure that each component is accurately defined and integrated into the target environment without risk of misconfiguration.

Additionally, separating the migration allows for clearer version control and troubleshooting. Each aspect can be validated independently after migration, ensuring that both the patterns and the service definitions function correctly within the Service Mapping framework. This careful distinction underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity and clarity of service data throughout the migration process.
