On the Migration Options form, select Migration Options:

When you set the Mode, Relational Migrator checks if the database is configured correctly. If it finds issues, it displays a warning banner and a Generate Script button to download an SQL script. This script includes the required configuration statements, and any additional instructions as comments.

(Optional) Indicate collections to migrate for a selective migration.

If you want to migrate only a subset of the collections in your project, click Selective Migrations and choose the collections you want to migrate. If you want to migrate all collections in your database, skip this step.
