Create a Transform: SetParentName.mst

Transform files let you apply customized configuration changes to a Windows Installer package. CA DataMinder typically provides scripts to create several useful transforms. Find the scripts to generate transforms in the \Support folder of your CA DataMinder distribution media.

For script-generated transforms, you must copy the script into the same folder as your administrative installation source image, Client.msi or Client_x64.msi. You need write access to this folder. You run the script by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer. The script generates the transform for the administrative installation source image.

Note: If no script is provided, you can obtain the transform from CA Support at http://ca.com/support.

.

For a Group Policy installation, you can use a transform to identify the name or IP address of the CMS or gateway that the client machines connect to.

To create the SetParentName.mst transform

1. Find this script in the \Support folder of your CA DataMinder distribution media:

   CreateParentNameTransform.vbs
   

2. Copy the script into the folder containing your administrative installation source image.
3. When you run the script, it prompts you for the name or IP address of the CMS or gateway and creates the transform file SetParentName.mst.

   Note: If you specify the CMS or gateway by name, you must ensure that the client machines can resolve its name (see Server name resolution).
