6.11.3 Verifying IPX Is Bound on the Client

1 Right-click the red N on the status bar (system tray) on your workstation.
2 Select Novell Client Properties.
3 Click the Protocol Preferences tab.
You can now proceed with your consolidation project.

6.12 Server-Based Processing

The server-based processing feature gives you the flexibility of running the file copy portion of the
utility as a scripted process on the server, instead of having the workstation monitor the process.
When this feature is enabled, the Server Consolidation Utility does not control or monitor the actual
data copying or do any error handling. You must load an agent on each server to process the project.
This feature is primarily designed to be used in remote consolidation scenarios where the servers are
located across a WAN link from the workstation. In such a scenario, there is a higher likelihood of
losing the connection with the servers, which causes normal workstation-based consolidation
projects to fail.
NOTE: Server-based processing does not support projects that include printer migrations. Use this
feature only for data copy projects.
Because this feature is meant to be used only in specific situations, you must enable the feature in
order to use it.

6.12.1 Enabling Server-Based Processing

Server-based processing is enabled from the Project Window by clicking Project > Enable Server-
Based Processing and answering Yes to the prompt.
After the feature is enabled, continue to model your project as you normally would.

6.12.2 Verifying a Project for Server-Based Processing

After modeling your project, proceed with the precopy verification. With server-based processing
enabled, you see an additional server-based processing dialog box that explains more about this
feature. The dialog box asks you whether or not you want this project to run as a server-based
process.
To have your project run as a server-based process, click Yes.
Two of the usual verification screens do not appear in a server-based processing project. One is the
Synchronize Files and Folders dialog box, and the other is the Compare Files and Folders dialog
box. If you want to perform the synchronization or comparison, you can do so after the process has

If the Protocol window displays both IP and IPX, the client has IPX bound.
If the Protocol window displays only IP, then IPX needs to be bound on the workstation.
