Overview of the Migration Directory Structure

Director Setup automatically created a migration directory in the path you specified. The folder for the migration directory is named: Director Migration.

The following files are copied or created in the Director Migration folder by Director Setup:

Autorun Source

This shortcut can be accessed from the Migration directory or copied to the source workstation. It accesses the source migration file and the AutoDNA.exe to perform the configured migration. It executes the following command line:

"<Path to your migration directory>\DirectorMigration\ddnarun\AutoDNA.exe" "<path to your Migration directory>\DirectorMigration\Source\DirectorSource.dmx

You can add any additional command line parameters necessary to further customize your migration.

AutoRun Destination

This shortcut can be accessed from the Migration directory or copied to the destination workstations. It accesses the destination migration file and the AutoDNA.exe to perform the configured migration. It executes the following command line:

"<path to your migration directory>\DirectorMigration\ddnarun\AutoDNA.exe" "<path to your Migration directory>\DirectorMigration\Destination\DirectorDestination.dmx" 

You can add any additional command line parameters necessary to further customize your migration.

Template File

The template configured for use during the migrations is copied from its original location into the DirectorMigration folder.

The following folders are copied into or created in the DirectorMigration folder:

Setup folder

This folder contains the CA DMM installation and is copied to the Migration directory. It is used if CA DMM or any component must be installed on the workstation before a migration.

ddnarun folder

This folder contains the CA DMM executable and supporting files and is copied into the Migration directory. It is used if CA DMM is accessed from the migration directory. It also contains AutoDNA.exe. This executable is accessed by the shortcuts you place on the workstations to perform the migrations.

Source folder

This folder contains DirectorSource.dmx, the migration file created by Director Setup. It contains the options you configured. You can edit this migration file using DMM Options Editor to further customize your migration process.

Destination folder

This folder contains DirectorDestination.dmx, the migration file created by Director Setup. It contains the options you have configured. You can edit this migration file using DMM Options Editor to further customize your migration process.

Logs

This folder is empty until the first migration. After the first migration, this directory contains the Director log. It is named <migration directory>\DirectorMigration\Logs\DirectorSourceLogs_%DNA_Machine_Name%.txt.

IEInstaller

This folder is empty when the Director Migration folder is created. If the computers do not have Internet Explorer v5.X or higher already installed, copy the IEInstaller\IE5Setup.exe into the migration directory into the IEInstaller folder. Then open the DMM Options Editor from the Start menu, open the .dmx file in the source and destination folders, and define the option for Path to the Internet Explorer installer option.
