Setting Migrate Source Options

The Migrate Source Option dialog controls the behavior of the source resources during a Migrate operation.

To define Migrate source options:

  1. Open the Migrate Source Options dialog box by doing one of the following:

    • Right-click the Enterprise name or icon to display a context menu. Then select Set Source Options.

    • From the menu bar, select Manage Tapes – Migrate > Set Source Options.

    • On the task panel, click Set Source Options.

    The Migrate Source Options dialog box appears.

  2. Complete the Migrate Source Options dialog box as needed.

Note. There are two tabs on the Job Source Option dialog. You may need to toggle between tabs to find the option you are interested in.

An explanation of each field and the available choices follows:

Data Compression

No

Turns data compression off.

If Pre-Script fails

The action to take if the Pre-Job Script fails to successfully complete.
