Open File Migration

CA DMM provides support for migrating open and locked files. The ability to migrate open and locked files eliminates the need to close the corresponding applications before starting the migration. As a result, no interruption in work takes place and you can continue working on the files even while performing the migration.

You can migrate open and locked files using deferred migration and real-time migration modes. In deferred migration mode, you back up open and locked files into a .dna file (or a self-extracting file). In real-time migration mode, you directly migrate open and locked files from a source computer to a destination computer.

Note: CA DMM supports migration of open and locked files on 32- and 64-bit Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems.
