1 = True

0 = False

Defaults to False

 

Move broken desktop shortcuts into a folder

If true, any shortcuts that cannot be resolved during migration are moved into a Broken Shortcuts directory on the desktop.

1 = True

0 = False

Defaults to True

 

File IO buffer size (bytes)

Larger IO buffer values may increase performance and memory usage.

Defaults to 1048576

Defines the disk space margin necessary to create a DNA file.

Defaults to 64 KB

 

Free removable-disk space margin (Kb)

The DNA file plus the margin is not exceeded when creating the DNA file.

Defaults to 1 KB.

This option contains the path to look for specific files and folders when using a Name and Location filter.

Blank

 

File names for Name and Location Filters

This option contains the names of files or folders that will be migrated when a Name and Location filter is created.

Blank

Maximum NTFS file size (Mb)

Defines the maximum DNA files size that can be created on NTFS systems.

Defaults to 0 (no limit)

 

Maximum FAT file size (MB)

Defines the maximum DNA file size that can be created on a FAT file system.

Defaults to 2048

 

Maximum registry value size (KB)

Defines the maximum registry value size that can be created.

Defaults to 64 (KB)

 

Maximum mapped file size (Kb)

This option only limits the mapping of files exceeding the maximum value.

Defaults to 10 KB.

 

Maximum VSS Timeout (ms)

This option is used to configure the time-out limit for VSS in milliseconds.

Defaults to 120,000 ms

 

Uncompressible file list

The uncompressible file list contains file extensions that should not be compressed when creating a DNA file.

File names separated by a pipe '|'.

 

Defaults to:

Z|ZIP|RAR|ARJ|ACE|LZH|
LHA|CAB|SEA|SIT|GIF|PFB
|MP3|MPG|RM|LEX|PNG|PST|*_|

This option is only valid if Compression is turned on.

Path for registry exclusion list

The registry exclusion list file contains a list of registry items to be excluded from a migration.

Valid path and file name.

Defaults to CA DMM reg exclude.dnax.

This option should not be changed unless you have modified the location of the default exclusion list.

Path for non-register exclusion list

The non-registry exclusion list file contains a list of files not to be registered during a migration.

Valid path and file name.

Defaults to CA DMM Non Register exclude.dnax

This option should not be changed unless you have modified the location of the default non-registry exclusion list file.

Path for DMM memory map

During the creation of a DNA file, certain file corruptions are detected and a Debug log is written to this location.

Valid path and file name.

File name defaults to DNAMemoryMap.log

 

Path for file exclusion list

The file exclusion list contains a list of files to be excluded during a migration.

Valid path and file name.

File name defaults to Desktop DNA exclude.dnax

This option should not be changed unless you have modified the location of the default exclusion list file.

Path for NTFS stream exclusion list

The NTFS stream exclusion list contains a list of NTFS stream names to be excluded during a migration.

Valid path and file name.

File name defaults to Desktop DNA NTFS stream exclude.dnax.

 

 

Verify DNA file

If true, when a DNA file is created, a checksum is calculated and saved in the file. Upon opening a DNA file, a verification takes place ensuring the file matches the checksum.

1 = True

0 = False

Defaults to False

This will slow the creation and opening of a DNA file.

 

Virtual memory (Mb)

CA DMM will not run unless there is at least this much disk space (MB) available on the drive which contains the virtual memory swap file.

Defaults to 100 MB

 

Don't warn of virtual memory

If true, a message displays, warning the user that virtual memory space is running low.

1 = True

0 = False

Defaults to True

 

Non-fatal migration errors

The entered list of Win32 error numbers, if encountered, will not abort a migration.

If true, the DNA file is loaded with no items selected to migrate.

1 = True
