The Cross-Empire Data Migration tab is the means of initiating Cross-Empire Data Migrations or conducting related tasks.
Once you have established a Forest Trust between Active Directory forests, you can use this to establish an identity map specifying associations between the users and groups of the source forest with the users and groups of the target forest.
You can then launch a migration wizard to migrate group and user data from a source Active Directory forest to a destination Active Directory forest.
For specific procedures, see Performing an Active Directory to Active Directory Cross-Empire Data Migration in the Micro Focus File Dynamics 6.5 Cross-Empire Data Migration Guide.
This page is the means of establishing an identity map between the users, groups, and folders of the eDirectory source and Active Directory destination, along with a means of performing migrations between the source and destination through wizards.
For specific procedures, see Performing an eDirectory to Active Directory Cross-Empire Data Migration in the Micro Focus File Dynamics 6.5 Cross-Empire Data Migration Guide.
Identity Map Management: This drop-down menu is the means of creating or editing an identity map, and viewing or adjusting eDirectory and Active Directory file system rights and permissions through the file system rights map.
Migration Wizards: This drop down menu is the means of launching the migration wizards. You initiate the wizards by first specifying one of the following options:
Data and Security: Migrates both the data and associated rights.
Data Only: Migrates the data only. The data inherits the permissions of the new location in Active Directory.
Security Only: Migrates the rights of data that has been migrated previously through the Data Only option and consequently, restores the previous rights.
Source Management: The options in this drop-down menu lets you check aspects of the source to see if the data is ready for migration.
Consistency Check: Lets you conduct a consistency check on the source to verify things such as the existence of home directory attributes, assigned disk quota, etc.
Assign Home Folder: Lets you assign a home folder attribute before the migration. This will allow you to then perform a user to user migration.
Source Path Cache: This is the means of building your list of different paths for the eDirectory tree. These source paths can then be accessible from a drop-down menu. For more information, see Importing a Source Path List in the Micro Focus File Dynamics 6.5 Cross-Empire Data Migration Guide.
Proxy Account Management: This drop-down menu lets you establish the migration proxy account for eDirectory.
Provision Source Proxy Account: This launches a wizard for creating a migration proxy account. The Engine running in Active Directory uses a migration proxy account to log in to the eDirectory tree. Any time you perform a migration from the eDirectory tree to the Active Directory domain, the Admin Client uses the migration proxy account. For more information, see Creating the Migration Proxy Account in the Micro Focus File Dynamics 6.5 Cross-Empire Data Migration Guide.
Deprovision Source Proxy Account: Selecting this deprovisions the current migration proxy account.
Proxy Source: This region displays the details of the source migration proxy account, along with the number of account entries in the identity map.
