3.1 Personality Migration Management Workstation

The Novell® ZENworks® 7 Personality Migration management console is a Windows workstation typically used by the OS deployment and migration administrators. In addition to installing Personality Migration on this workstation, you should also install ConsoleOne® to allow management and creation of Desktop Management Application objects. For installation instructions for ConsoleOne, see the Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Installation Guide.

In the previous version of ZENworks Personality Migration, in order to create a Personality Migration template that contained the application settings for all of the applications used in your organization, you were required to set up a staging workstation that had each corporate and line-of-business application locally installed. You then used this workstation to create a Desktop DNA template that defined the personality and application settings to be subsequently collected from individual workstations in your organization.

In ZENworks 7 Personality Migration, the Desktop DNA Template Editor is now included. This means that you no longer need to set up a workstation that has each corporate and line-of-business application locally installed. You can now use the Template Editor to define personality settings for most, if not all, of the applications used in your environment. For information about installing and using the Template Editor, see Section 4.0, Installing ZENworks Personality Migration and Section 5.0, Using the DNA Template Editor to Create the Template.
