Batch and Wrapper Files

A template lets you customize and automate migrations for the different departments in your company or for specific individuals.

The DMM Template Editor is a powerful tool that provides the capability to simplify the reusing of migration settings. It also lets the administrator create a migration template without being on the machine to be migrated.

Use the CA DMM wizard to create a template. If you want to save a template without migrating, you can go directly to the File menu and select the Save Template menu item after specifying settings and destinations in the Settings and Destinations tab pages.

You can also create and edit templates using the DMM Template Editor.

A list of templates displays in the Select a Template File page in the user interface for easy selection by a user. The default location from which the template list will be built is the My Documents directory of the local machine.

If there are no templates in the default path (local My Documents folder), the DMM Options file or DMM Template Editor (in the Search Paths for Template Files field), the Template page does not display.

If the Open a Template File page is not displayed, to open a template, you must have completed the steps in the Start tab; either be connected to the source system or have opened a DNA file. When the template is loaded, you can proceed directly to the Migrate tab page and begin the migration.

To save the current template, select the Save Template File menu item, and in the Save As dialog, specify a file name for the template.

Note: The file extension for the template must be .dtf.
