Automation: Batch and Wrapper Files

Batch migration lets you integrate CA DMM with some other processes you require as part of migration. To change settings dynamically as part of the migration, modify any Options file manually using a text editor, or programmatically using the ATL COM interface.

You can set all settings programmatically by a wrapper application, including all logs locations and levels.

Use wrapper or batch files for finding the last template, DNA file, and IP connection for a migration by copying the Options file. You can store DMM settings statically in the DMM Options file (DNAOptions.xml).

For the wrapper to copy the file to a folder and call CA DMM with the /O switch for migration, run following command:

/OPTIONSFILE [/O] D:\XML file path\XMLfileName.xml

Items that get written back to the XML file (last template file, last DNA file, last IP address) are saved after the migration. Using the ATL COM object for accessing an XML file, the wrapper can push or pull any necessary information to or from the XML file.
