The ability to move WPM transactions between players without loosing any history

It would be great to be able to migrate transactions between players without loosing history. Currently if I need to move a transaction, I have to assign it to another player and unmanage it or delete it off the old player. Unfortunately you loose the history of the transaction on the old location. Players get overloaded and transactions needs to be migrated. You should be able to migrate a transaction as easily as it is to move a node to a new poller.

By using database manager and editing SEUM transaction table.
Find the line where particular transaction that you want to change, change agent number (to where you want to run the transaction, number of agent can be found in SEUM agents table) and change description to reflect the name of the WPM player.
Go back to Orion and unmanage and remanage the transaction. It should now should be running under new agent where you changed it to and no history lost (This retain same transaction ID number)
