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 Section B.1.2, Applications.

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.

If you choose to migrate applications that has actions involving large registry keys and file operations, we recommend that you migrate the applications as MSI. If the applications are migrated as actions, then the applications might fail in the destination zone even though they are successfully migrated to the destination zone.
