Well, our IS&T people have just satisfied their need to go through a mysterious process, they say to 'migrate me to a different domain'. Whatever that may mean, coincidentally it seems to have solved my problem and those links are now live. But I've also lost a lot of other stuff - hopefully they can recover it.

OED lists a passive usage from late 18th century.

Dear dxb: I hope your migration is not like that of birds, back and forth seasonally.

No, Dr Bill. They're closing down my old domain. There's no going back.
Migrate has been used as a transitive verb by our IS&T people for some time now. It should be getting used to its expanded role.

This site suggests 'move' instead of 'migrate' in this context: http://www.office-futures.com/tech_talk.htmI dunno, Seems like 'move' doesn't quite have the necessary connotations. Maybe 'port' is a better choice, but I'm not exactly sure what meaning the word is supposed to be carrying. 'Port' would imply that some computer program was being adapted for a different platform than the one it was originally designed for. What is being 'migrated?'
