If true, CA DMM creates a self-extracting DNA file that can be applied to the destination machine without needing CA DMM installed.

1 = True

2 = False

Defaults to False

You cannot create a self-extracting DNA file if you are saving it to an HTTP path.

Automatic clean up after self-extracting

Do you want CA DMM to automatically clean up after applying a self-extracting DNA file?

If true, the files that the self-extractor extracts into the temp directory after completion of the migration are cleaned up by the self-extractor.

1 = True

0 = False

Defaults to True

Dependent upon Create self-extracting file being true.

Include DMM Library Installer

Do you want to include the DMM library installer in the self-extracting file?

It is necessary to include the library files if you are going to apply the files to some NT-based operating systems.

1 = True

0 = False

Defaults to True

Dependent upon Create self-extracting file being true.

Path to self-extracting inclusion file

Where is the self-extracting inclusion file?

This is the path and file name of the self-extracting INI file. This INI file contains directions on the CA DMM components that must be included in the self-extracting file.

Dependent upon Create self-extracting file being true.

Path to template file
