Migrating Applications As Actions Or Msi; Using Network Files; Listing The Associations In The Migration Utility - Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - MIGRATION GUIDE 10.3 30-03-2010 Migration Manual

While migrating large applications that should be uploaded to the content server, the
connection to the server might be lost, resulting in failure of the migration. Ensure that Get
response timeout in the Web Client Configuration is set to None in order to establish a
persistent connection with the server. For more information, see
Configuration," on page
While migrating applications, deselect the Upload to content server option if you do not want
to upload the applications to the content server. Deselecting the option migrates the MSI
applications as bundles with an Install Network MSI action, which installs the MSI from a
network path. By default, the Upload to content server option is enabled. For more information
on the option, see
E.4 Migrating Applications as Actions or MSI
If you use tools such as Snapshot Manager in traditional ZENworks to create complex
application objects with multiple changes such as Registry, INI, and File Copy, you should
migrate the applications as MSI by disabling the Migrate distribution options as individual
actions option. For more information on the migration options, see
"Applications," on page
If you use tools such as Snapshot Manager in traditional ZENworks to create application
objects with single changes such as Registry, INI, or File Copy, or if the application object must
be edited at a later point of time, then you should migrate the application as actions by enabling
the Migrate distribution options as individual actions option.
If an application is dependent on other applications, review the applications on which the
dependency exists and migrate them as MSI or actions based on the requirement, then migrate
the dependent applications.
E.5 Using Network Files
If the traditional ZENworks application objects use files that are hosted on the network share,
you should map the network share on the device hosting the migration tool.
By default, the applications are uploaded to the content server during the migration. If the
application files are located on a shared network and you want to continue using the network
files, deselect the Upload to content server option. For more information on the option, see
Section B.1.2, "Applications," on page
E.6 Listing the Associations in the Migration
Utility
If there are too many associations to be listed in the Migration Utility, select the Either eligible or
ineligible for migration (No warning) option to reduce the time taken by the utility in listing the
associations.
