RE: What is Data Migration and what is Conversion?
Data Migration is upgrading from one version to another version fro e.g. from 11.5.9 to 11.5.10.. Data Conversion is receiving data from a legacy system or receiving data from another module ( e.g. PA) validating it and converting it to ur our the target module using the standard import program.

RE: What is Data Migration and what is Conversion?What...
Data Migration is the one off PROCESS of moving data from one system to another whether that be an upgrade or from legacy.

Data Conversion is a step in the data migration process that involves a some form of transformation of the data from the source structure to the target structure.

Other possible steps in the Data Migration process are
Data Extraction - Taking data out of the source system
Data Cleaning - removing incorrect/invalid data
Data Translation - translating data elements from one value to another
Data Conversion - transformation of the data from the source structure to the target structure.
Data Validating - Ensuring the new data is consistent with itself and any existing data in the target system
Data Loading - Putting the new data in to the target system
