Where are view structure and element locations stored?

Looking into a Dataminer agent files directory, I can see there’s a Views.xml file which appears to host this data. I am although unsure if this data is just what’s replicated locally from the database or that the view structure is never stored in the database in the first place.
This is mainly a question about migration strategy from one DMS to another, considering that both source and destination systems use a self-managed Cassandra cluster, and if Dataminer agents are to be rebuilt from scratch in the destination system. in addition to migrating the database, is there any other data which require carrying over from the DMA servers themselves to the destination system?

For the purposes of this question, we can assume an Elasticsearch/Opensearch setup is not used.

Hi Reza,

The view structure is stored only in the views.xml file, this info is (currently) not stored in any of the databases.
