   The automated migration was a feature of hosted Parse.com.

   Migrating a DB is not a feature of Parse Server, because actually it has nothing to do with it.
   Migration happens between two DB providers.

   The basic process (without testing, etc) is:

   1. Your app points the current DB.
   2. You sync data between the current DB provider and the new one.
   3. You point your app to the new DB provider.
   4. You discard your old DB provider.

   From where to where do you want to migrate?

   I want to migrate from the parse database to the one you can use as an Addon in Heroku, mLab.
   According to this video, look at the minute 6:05:

   All I have to do is to go to parse-dashboard, then the app setting and finally migrate it to a external database. My problem is that when I enter to the dasboard I only see 2 options Core and Push. I'm not able to see the app settings. So, how can I enable this option? Or whats the new way to migrate to a external database?

   Thanks in advance.

   This is all I see in my dashboard.

   The reason why you don't see "App Settings" is because that option existed on hosted Parse.com.

   IIRC the migration feature was only introduced to migrate from hosted Parse.com to open source parse server, before Parse.com shut down. Non-essential features did not make it to open source. Database migration is one such feature.

   More info here.

   mLab has been acquired by MongoDB, so they don't accept sign-ups anymore.
   Where is your data hosted now and where do you want to migrate to?
