This tab displays the Source eDir Tree and Destination Zone panels. In both panels, the text of the migrated entries is teal-colored after you migrate the items. This is helpful in viewing which items have been migrated and which have not, even when you run the utility at a later date. If any entries are not migrated because of an error, their icons remain dimmed.
After you log in to the eDirectory tree, the Source eDir Tree panel is populated with the applicable information, starting at the root of the tree. For example, if you select Step 1: Applications, only Application objects are displayed in the tree as you navigate it.
To select something to migrate that is listed in the Source eDir Tree panel, simply select the item, then drag it into the Destination Zone panel. You can use the Ctrl and the arrow keys or Shift and the arrow keys to select multiple items.
IMPORTANT:Selecting, dragging, and migrating objects does nothing to your eDirectory tree. Migration is only a read and copy operation. The eDirectory tree is left unchanged. So, you can perform migration by logging in to the eDirectory tree as a read only user also.
The Source eDir Tree field displays the full path of the currently selected context in the tree.
You can click the following icons to navigate the tree:
Table 3-1 Source eDir Tree Icons
|
Navigate Up One Level: Moves the focus up one level from the current context. |
|
Refresh: Refreshes the view. For example, when you first authenticate to the tree, you receive the current state of the tree. If changes are made in the tree after that, you can click Refresh to capture them in the Migration Utility for migration. |
|
Stop Listing of Objects in the Source eDir Tree: Stops listing the objects in the Source eDir Tree field. |
If you right-click an item in the list, you have two options:
View Attributes: Displays attributes for the selected object in the Generic Attributes dialog box. This is useful for troubleshooting and support calls.
Add to Migration Queue: Copies the item to list of items queued for migration in the Destination Zone panel and the Items to Migrate tab
Because these options can apply to selected items or to the panel as a whole, right-click the item for options applicable only to specific items. Right-click anywhere in the panel for an option applicable to all items.
If you select a container for migration that has different types of objects in it, such as both Workstation and Application objects, only the objects related to the active Migration Tasks selection are copied into the Destination Zone panel.
If you drag an item that was previously queued in the Destination Zone and it has not been migrated yet, no action takes place because the item is already there.
The Destination Zone panel displays items to be migrated with dimmed icons, and items that were either already migrated or originally created in ZENworks Control Center are displayed with colored icons.
The Destination Zone field displays the full path of the selected destination of the migrated object in the Management Zone. A default location is displayed.
You can click the following icons to navigate the zone or to modify the selected items:
Table 3-2 Destination Zone Icons
|
Navigate Up One Level: Moves the focus up one level from the current folder. |
|
Refresh: Refreshes the view. For example, when you first authenticate to the zone, you see the current state of the zone. If changes are made in the zone after that, you can click Refresh to update them in the Migration Utility. |
|
Create New Folder: You can change the Configuration Management folder structure displayed in ZENworks Control Center to suit your management needs by adding new folders. For example, if you add a folder (such as Files) under /~bundles~, that File folder is displayed under Bundles in ZENworks Control Center, which contains all bundles that are created for the eDirectory objects that you copied there. Modeled folders are not added into ZENworks Control Center until you migrate them. However, you can model folders that are empty and add them to Configuration Management by clicking Migrate Now. This is useful for setting up your folder structures before migrating the objects. |
|
Delete Selected Object: Deletes the item that has a dimmed icon from the list, not from eDirectory or the ZENworks database. If the item has a colored icon, it was either previously migrated or it was originally created in ZENworks Control Center. If you select the Delete Selected Object icon, it deletes the item from the ZENworks database and it is no longer viewable in ZENworks Control Center. IMPORTANT:Because both migrated items and items originally created in ZENworks Control Center are displayed, be aware of this fact when you choose to delete items that have colored icons. |
If you right-click an item in the list, you have the following options:
Delete Selected Items: Deletes the selected item from the list in this view. However, if the item has not been migrated yet, then the selected item is deleted from both this view and on the Items to Migrate tab.
New Folder: Allows you to insert a new folder at the current level. This folder is not created in ZENworks Control Center until you perform the migration. You can create a folder structure to be migrated, including placing items within the folders.
View Zone Settings: Displays the ZENworks Management Zone settings for the selected object.
View Attributes: Displays attributes for the selected object in the Generic Attributes dialog box. This is useful for troubleshooting and support calls.
Because these options can apply to selected items or to the panel as a whole, right-click the item for options applicable only to specific items. Right-click anywhere in the panel for an option applicable to all items.
The Unique Identifier column provides you with a way to differentiate multiple objects of the same name because the identifier provides the full context from where it will be migrated. The ZENworks Migration Utility automatically prevents duplicate items from being added. However, this applies to the unique identifier, not the item’s name in the Name column.
