Create a DMM Options File

If your migration environment requires different migration types and configurations throughout your enterprise, you might want to create multiple options files. If you need to create multiple options files, you must pass the options file on the command line with the /O switch.

Note: To use DMM Options Editor, you must be signed on as an administrator or power user. However, you can edit DMM options in XML format in an editor, such as notepad without these rights.

To create a DMM Options File

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

   DMM Options Editor opens.

2. Click File, New, or click the New toolbar button.

   The New dialog opens.

3. Select Desktop Migration Manager Options, and then click OK in the New dialog.

   The DMM Options file opens.

4. Click the General branch of the DMM Options tree in the left pane of the DMM Options Editor.

   The General DMM Options appears in the right pane of the DMM Options Editor.

5. Make changes to any of the options by clicking 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.

6. When you finish editing the DMM Options file, click File, Save or File, Save As to name and save the changes made. Or, click the Save toolbar button.

Note: If you saved the options file with a name other than DDNAOptions.dox, you must define the options file to use when you start CA DMM by setting the /O command line switch. You enter the command from Start, Run, a Command Prompt session, or from a shortcut you create to run CA DMM. The syntax for the command line is:

"C:\[Path name]\DesktopDNA.exe" /O "C:\[Path and Options file name.dox]"
