Select Multiple Templates

If you choose to pass two or more templates on the command line at the time of migration, follow these steps:

1. Determine if you will select the templates in the CA DMM user interface at the time of migration, or create a command line as part of an automated process.
   • If you choose to select the template in the CA DMM user interface at the time of migration, see the CA DMM help file, and from the table of contents select the following path:

     	CA Desktop Migration Manager \ Deferred Migration \ Create a DNA File \ Start Tab \ Open a Template File.
     

   • If you choose to pass the two (or more) templates on the command line as part of an automated process, use the following step.
2. Use the template command line switch, /T many times as in the following example:

   /D "C:\MyDNAFile.dna" /T "C:\Template 1.dtf" /T "C:\Template 2.dtf" /T "C:\Template 3.dtf"
   

   In this example, if any of the templates contain conflicting information, Template 3 has precedence over Template 2, which has precedence over Template 1.
