During the Copy File System Data step, the dropped directories are copied to the destination server and created directories are added to the destination server.
In the Project View dialog box, click .
In the Dropped Folders dialog box, verify the accuracy of the source and destination paths for all of your dropped folders and then click .
(Conditional) If you created new folders as part of your migration project, verify the source and destination paths in the Created Folders dialog box and then click .
In the Duplicate Files dialog box, indicate how you want to handle any duplicate filenames between the source and the destination by selecting one of the following and then click :
Don’t Copy Over Existing Files: The file on the source server is not copied and the file with the same name on the destination server is not replaced.
Copy the Source File If It Is Newer (Default): If the file on the source server is newer than the one on the destination server, the file on the destination server is replaced.
Always Copy the Source File: The file on the source server always replaces the file with the same name on the destination server.
In the Disable Login dialog box, indicate whether you want users to be logged in during the data migration by selecting one of the following and then click .
Copy Volumes with Users Logged In (Default): Migration Wizard does not copy open files. Select this option if you want to copy nonaccessed files while users are logged in.
Disable Login: If you disable user login, you can be sure that no other users can log in to the network and open files during the file copy.
If you want to delete all user connections prior to performing the migration, click Broadcast Logout Message to warn users to log out. If any user connections remain, you must manually disconnect them from the source server console.
In the File Date Filters dialog box, indicate whether you want to filter the files to be copied according to Accessed, Modified, or Created dates and then click .
If you select , specify the desired date ranges. If you select , all files are copied.
Two dates can be set for each attribute. The first date is an date and the second is an date. For example, if you select only for the Accessed attribute and set the date for October 10, 2005, only those files accessed on or before October 10, 2005, are copied. In the same example, if you also select and set the date to September 1, 2005, only those files accessed on or after September 1, 2005, and on or before October 10, 2005, are copied.
You can specify as many ranges as you want, and only those files that meet all of the selected criteria are copied.
In the Wildcard Selection dialog box, indicate whether you want to filter files by name or extension by typing the filenames or extension types in the field provided and then click .
You can use a wildcard character to represent one or more characters in a search. The two most commonly used wildcards are the question mark (?) and the asterisk (*).
The question mark is used to represent a single alphanumeric character in a search expression.
For example, typing te?t.txt would exclude tent.txt, test.txt, and text.txt from the copy process.
The asterisk is used to specify zero or more alphanumeric characters in a search expression.
For example, typing h*s.txt would exclude hs.txt, his.txt, house.txt, and happiness.txt from the copy process.
Type as many filenames or file extension types as you want. Separate each entry with a hard return. For example:
*.mp3
*.wav
test.txt
In the Synchronize Files and Folders dialog box, specify whether you want the Migration Wizard to delete files and folders on the destination server that do not exist on the source server and then click .
If users are active on the source server while you model your migration project, it is possible that they could delete files and folders that you have already selected for migration.
Select if you want the Migration Wizard to scan all dropped folders after the copy process completes and delete any files and folders from the destination server that don’t exist on the source server.
If you don’t want to synchronize files and folders, select (the default selection).
In the File Comparison dialog box, specify whether you want the Migration Wizard to compare files and folders between the source and destination servers after the copy process completes and then click .
If you don’t want to enable the comparison option, select (the default selection).
Selecting causes the Migration Wizard to compare the following information during the post-copy file comparison:
Names
Dates
Sizes
Attributes
Trustees
Owners
If you select , you are given the option of doing a binary comparison of the files after the copy process completes. A binary (byte-by-byte) comparison gives the greatest assurance that two files are identical, but it takes longer to complete.
By default, the Migration Wizard compares the Read inhibit (Ri) and Delete inhibit (Di) attributes on Read-only files. If you do not want this check to be performed, deselect .
Specify where to store the trustee backup files, then click .
Before Migration Wizard starts copying files, it backs up trustee and ownership information for the source server's standard sys: volume and dropped folders to special trustee backup files for use only by Migration Wizard. When the eDirectory migration is complete, Migration Wizard restores the trustees from the files stored on the destination server.
The trustee backup files are stored on the destination server’s sys: volume by default. If your destination server has limited free space on volume sys:, you can select another volume to hold the backup files.
Type the passwords for the source and destination trees, then click .
SMS is the backup and copy engine used by the Migration Wizard. You type your passwords here because SMS requires that the servers involved in the migration be authenticated to each other.
(Conditional) If prompted, resolve any critical errors or warnings discovered during verification and then click .
If there were errors discovered in the verification attempt, they are shown in the Error Resolution dialog box. Errors could include name conflicts, insufficient rights, required name spaces not loaded, and insufficient disk space.
Errors found during the verification process are classified as follows:
Errors that must be resolved before files can be copied
Errors that should be resolved but might not affect the copy process
Informational messages about the decisions you made in the Project Window
A description of each error and a possible resolution appear in the Information text box. If no resolution is provided, you can find more information in the Novell Error Codes online documentation. Search the system by error code number.
(Conditional) If newer NLM™ programs are available and you want to copy them to your system, select in the dialog box that appears.
In the Ready to Copy Files dialog box, read the explanation of the file copy process and then click .
The Migration Wizard proceeds with the trustee backup and file copy.
When the Copy Volumes Status screen appears, review the error and success logs and then click .
