Novell SERVER CONSOLIDATION MIGRATION TOOLKIT 1.1 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 12-23-2005 Administration Manual page 47

1 (Conditional) If you do not want to compare source and destination files after the copy process,
select No and then click Next. Skip to
2 (Conditional) If you selected Yes, you have the option to do a binary (byte-by-byte) comparison
of the files after the copy process completes. This option gives the greatest assurance that two
files are identical, but it takes longer to complete.
If you want to perform a binary comparison of the files that were copied, select Binary (byte-
by-byte) comparison.
3 (Conditional) If you are seeing errors about files having different Rename inhibit (Di) and
Delete inhibit (Ri) attributes after the comparison, you can disable the comparison of these
attributes by deselecting Compare Ri/Di attributes on read-only files.
The reason for these errors is that the Novell Client version 4.9x does not automatically set the
Di or Ri attributes when copying Read-only files, whereas the Server Consolidation Utility
does. So if you have copied Read-only files to the source server using the Novell Client, they
are marked Read-only but the Di and Ri attributes are not set by the Client. If you subsequently
use the Server Consolidation Utility to copy these files to another server, the utility sets the Di
and Ri attributes of all Read-only files on the destination server, as it should.

IMPORTANT: Novell recommends that you do not enable file comparison when copying files
from NetWare to OES Linux servers. Many differences exist between the file and folder attributes
supported on NetWare and those supported on Linux. Because of these differences, you would
expect to see a large number of errors reported in a file comparison.
File Date Filters
In the File Date Filters dialog box, you have the option to copy files based on dates and three
separate attributes:
• Accessed
• Modified
• Created
If you select No, all files are copied. If you select Yes, you can enter date ranges for the file copy.
You can select as many criteria as you would like, and only those files that meet all of the selected
criteria are copied.
Two dates can be set for each attribute. The first date is an On or After date and the second is an On
or Before date. For example, if you select only On or Before and set the date for November 10, 2000,
for the Accessed attribute, only those files accessed on or before November 10, 2000, are copied. In
the same example, if you also select On or After and set the date to October 1, 2000, only those files
accessed on or after October 1, 2000, and on or before November 10, 2000, are copied.
1 (Conditional) If you do not want to filter files based on dates, select No.
2 (Conditional) If you want to filter based on dates, select Yes and then select the desired
combination of file types and dates to be copied.
To change the date from the default provided, check the box next to the desired date. Next,
highlight with your mouse the portion of the date you want to change. Either type a new value
using the keyboard number pad, or use the mouse to click the up- and down-arrows provided to
the immediate right of the date field.
