Create Migration Directory

Director Setup automatically creates the Migration directory in the path you have specified. The folder for the migration directory is named: DirectorMigration.

The following files are copied into or created in the DirectorMigration folder:

Autorun Source

Lets you access the shortcut from the Migration directory or copy it to the source workstation. It accesses the source migration file and the AutoDNA.exe to perform the configured migration. It executes the following command line:

"<Path to your migration directory>\DirectorMigration\ddnarun\AutoDNA.exe" "<path to your Migration directory>\DirectorMigration\Source\DirectorSource.dmx

You can add any additional command line parameters necessary to further customize your migration.

AutoRun Destination

Lets you access the shortcut from the Migration directory or copy it to the destination workstations. It accesses the destination migration file and the AutoDNA.exe to perform the configured migration. It executes the following command line:

"<path to your migration directory>\DirectorMigration\ddnarun\AutoDNA.exe" "<path to your Migration directory>\DirectorMigration\Destination\DirectorDestination.dmx"

You can add any additional command line parameters necessary to further customize your migration.

Template File

Lets you copy the template configured for use during migrations from its original location into the DirectorMigration folder.

The following folders are copied into or created in the DirectorMigration folder:
