2. Than, press Private Apps button
3. Click Generate a Private App button.

3. Plugins Setup
Plugins are purchased and setup separately into Magento Data
Migration Module. They will provide additional functionalities to
the tool. Normally plugins need to be customized and tweaked by
LitExtension Team to fit customers requirements and will be sent
to customers later on. There are a few types of plugin:
Products and Categories SEO Urls Plugin: helps migrate
Products and Categories urls. Old urls will be saved in Target
Magento Store and will be maintained to keep all current SEO
ranking you have built up for years.
Custom Fields Plugin: help migrate custom fields from Source Store to Target Magento Store. This is useful in case customers have customized their store, for example: adding fields to database tables, and also want to migrate these fields into Magento Store.
Customer Password Plugin: special plugin which adds the ability to read passwords encrypted by Source Stores to Magento. All passwords are migrated over and remains encrypted, customers can login to the new shop right away without the need of resetting passwords. "Zencart to Magento" and "Magento to Magento" tools natively support migrating passwords and do not need this plugin.

false here, you can do that manually in System > Cache
Management and System > Index Management.
6. Migration Resuming
When a problem occurring on the migration process, Migration Tool
provide the ability to resume the process in two ways:
1. Automatically resume on the spot: the tool will automatically
resume after a failure until all data is imported.
2. Manually resume: you can refresh the page to go back to
Step 1 and click on “Resume”, this is helpful when you
want to temporarily stop migration and resume when you
want to.
7. Advanced ConfigurationAccess Advanced Configuration by going to Cart Service Migration >
Configuration from Magento backend menu. All default values are
configured to work with most cases, thus it is recommended to change
these values only when it is necessary to.
XXX Per Batch: Cart Migration splits each entity data into small batches
(or chunks) and import them in turn. This option defines batch size to
process in each turn. Depending on your Magento hosting resource you
can change the values accordingly. The lower the value is, the less time
and resource Magento spends to process a batch, also the longer overall
time to import full data.
Delay Time: the sleeping time between each batch. This option defines
the “break time” for both Source Store and Target Store. It is also helpful
to prevent Timeout issue if Source Store has been setup to limit the
number of requests in a period of time.
Auto Retry After: if by some reason, the batch process fails, the tool will
automatically retry after a period of time defined by this option.
