Create a Migration Solution Package

Run the DMM Deployment Setup wizard to create a migration solution package.

To create a migration solution package

1. Launch the DMM Deployment Setup wizard.

   A language dialog appears asking you to select the language for the wizard.

   Note: The language selected will also be the language of the SD package that will be imported.

2. Select the language and click OK.

   A screen that displays the migration solution package name appears. The default name is Desktop Migration Solution.

3. Enter a name you want to use for the migration solution package and click Next.
4. Perform one of the following steps:
   • If the computer you are running the wizard on is not an SD server, a screen appears asking you to specify the location where you want to save the migration solution package that you will later import into SD. Click Browse to specify the location.
   • If the computer you are running the wizard on is an SD server, a screen appears asking you to specify an SD user name and password for the server. These credentials will be used to import the package into SD after the wizard completes. If the logged in user also has administrator credentials on the SD server, these fields can be left blank. If you are not logged in with the SD server administrator credentials, enter the details and click Next.

   A screen appears where you can specify a location for the DMM data directory.

5. Click Browse to specify a location for the DMM data directory. The path you enter must be a UNC path and a hidden null-session share. CA Technologies DMM runs as the System user account and the System user account can only write to a null-session share.

   The data directory is the folder where DNA files will be stored. This location also stores the DDNARUN directory.

   Note: At this point, the share does not need to be a null-session share. The wizard will create a migration solution package that contains a procedure to make a share a null-session share.

6. Click Next.

   A screen appears where you can specify the template you want to use in the migration solution package.

7. Select one of the following:
   • Use the Default DMM Template.
   • Select DMM Templates to specify a template other than the default template. Click Browse to locate and select the template.

     Note: You can select more than one template.

   • Create New Template. If the DMM Template Editor is not installed on the computer, a message appears asking you to install the editor and to specify the location of the CA Technologies DMM install file.

   The list of selected templates is displayed in the text box. To clear the selected templates, click Clear All.

8. Click Next.

   A screen appears where you can select the options file you want to use in the migration solution package.

9. Select one of the following:
   • Use the Default DMM Options File.
   • Select a DMM Options File to specify a file other than the default file, click Browse to locate and select the file.
   • Create Options File.

     If the Options Editor is not installed on the computer, a message appears asking you to install the editor and to specify the location of the CA Technologies DMM install file.

10. Click Next.

    A screen appears where you can specify the location of the DDNARUN directory. DMM Deployment Setup searches for the install file for CA Technologies DMM to extract the DDNARUN directory. If the setup.exe file is not available, DMM Deployment Setup looks for a local installation of CA Technologies DMM. If neither is located, you can specify a DDNARUN directory or specify the CA Technologies DMM installation folder.

11. Click Browse to specify the location of the DDNARUN directory or to locate the directory where the CA Technologies DMM setup file is present.
12. Click Next.

    A screen appears where you can specify a mapping file to be used. A mapping file is a comma-delimited file that maps source computers to destination computers.

13. Select one of the following:
    • Do not use a map file

      Note: If you do not use a mapping file, the user will be asked at the time of the apply procedure to identify the file to apply.

    • Create a blank map file, if you want DMM Deployment Setup to create a blank map file for later use.
    • Select an existing map file. Click Browse to locate a mapping file. This mapping file is used for automatically applying previously stored DNA files.
14. Click Next.

    A screen that displays the summary of your install choices appears.

15. Click Finish.

    The deployment of the package starts. A screen appears that displays the progress of the deployment. The migration solution package is either imported into SD or saved to a directory.

16. Click Exit.
