Select Volumes, Directories, and Printer Agents

The Project Window is where you choose which volumes and directories to copy and which Printer objects to move. The Project Window is divided into two panes that each show the same tree.

You drag objects from the left pane and drop them into the right pane. You select volumes and directories to copy to different servers and Printer Agents to move to different Print Managers. Keep in mind that the Server Consolidation Utility does not move Print Brokers or Print Managers. If you want to move a Broker, you must first create a new one on the target server, copy the contents to the new server, and then delete the old one. The Server Consolidation Utility only moves Printer Agents.

In addition to dragging and dropping objects, you can also create new folders in the right pane by selecting an existing volume or directory and then clicking the New Folder button on the tool bar. You can also drop directories, volumes and print objects into the newly created folder. The Project Window also lets you move dropped objects around in the destination tree.

In this way, you create a view in the right pane of what the new tree will look like after you complete the copy process.

IMPORTANT:  Creating containers and dragging and dropping objects in the Project Window does not immediately perform the action. It only creates a view of where the files and objects will reside. The actions are completed only after the verification process is complete and the copy process begins.

Working in the Project Window

In addition to dragging and dropping objects, you can perform several tasks from the Project Window menu:

• Save project settings: Click File > Save As.
• Create a new container or folder: Select the parent container or existing folder in the right pane and click Edit > New Folder. You can also right-click on the object to get to the same menu option.
• Cancel a "dropped" action: Select the volume or directory in the right pane and click Edit > Back Out. You can also right-click on the object to get to the same menu option.
• Rename a newly created container or folder: Select the parent container or existing folder in the right pane and click Edit > Rename. You can also right-click on the object to get to the same menu option.
• Show where a folder or object went: Select the object in the left pane and click Edit > Where Did It Go. You can also right-click on the object to get to the same menu option.
• Show where a folder or object came from: Select the object in the left pane and click Edit > Where Did It Come From. You can also right-click on the object to get to the same menu option.
• Show all folders or objects selected for copying: Select a container in the left pane and click Edit > Show Dropped Folders or Show Dropped Printers. You can also right-click on the object to get to the same menu option.
• Verify actions but do not copy files: Click Project > Verify Project. You can also click the Verify Project button on the button bar.
• Move created and dropped objects around by dragging them to the desired location.
