Edit an Existing DMM Migration File

DMM Director uses a configuration file to perform automated migrations. You can edit a Director Migration file using the DMM Options Editor.

To edit an existing Director Migration file, follow these steps:

1. Open the DMM Options Editor from the Start menu.

   DMM Options Editor opens.

2. Click File, Open, or click the Open toolbar button.
3. In the Browse dialog, navigate to the migration directory created by Director Setup.

   There will be two migration configuration files that you can edit. The source migration file in:

   …<path to the Migration Directory>\DirectorMigration\Source\DirectorSource.dmx

   and the destination migration file in:

   …<path to the Migration Directory>\DirectorMigration\Destination\DirectorDestination.dmx

4. Open the migration file you want to edit.

   The tree in the left pane of the DMM Options Editor contains a Migration section followed by the complete DMM Options file.

5. Click Migration Options in the tree in the left pane.

   The left pane of the DMM Options Editor displays the Migration Options.

6. You can make any changes necessary to meet your migration requirements.

   The Migration Options contains all the DMM Options in a subsection to the Migration Options.

7. Make changes to any of the options by clicking on the option section you want to edit in the left tree view of the DMM Options Editor.

   The options you can edit appear in the right pane of the DMM Options Editor.

8. You can add multiple passes for a migration by right-clicking the Migration File section in the right pane of the DMM Options Editor. You can then select to add another migration pass before the current section, or after the current section.
9. When you have completed editing the Migration File, click File, Save and replace the file you are editing. Or, click the Save toolbar button.

Note: The DirectorSource.xml and DirectorDestination.xml files are changed to DirectorSource.dmx and DirectorDestination.dmx files. This lets you double-click these files and open them in the DMM Options Editor.
