Novell ZENworks Configuration Management provides the ZENworks Migration Utility that
allows you to migrate your traditional ZENworks Novell eDirectory
ZENworks Configuration Management database. Because Configuration Management uses a
different architecture than previous versions of ZENworks, migrating your traditional ZENworks
data is the only method for upgrading to Configuration Management.
The Migration Utility allows you to migrate eDirectory objects in batches so that you can migrate
incrementally. You can queue and migrate several hundred objects at a time. The utility provides
modeling, object selection, simple raw attribute viewing, migration, and error reporting.
You cannot install AdminStudio 9.5 ZENworks Edition and the Migration Utility on the same
device. However, you can install AdminStudio 9.5 ZENworks Edition and the Migration Utility on
different devices in the same Management Zone.
