You use the Operating System Conversion application to
move operating system variants from one operating system conversion
record to another operating system conversion record.
About this task
Observe the following rules when moving operating system
variants:
- You can move a single variant, multiple variants, or all the variants
from the original operating system conversion record to another conversion
record. If all the variants are moved from the original operating
system conversion, that conversion record is deleted from the database.
If any variants remain on the original operating system conversion
record, that record remains in the database.
- You cannot move a variant that is identical to the target name
unless you move all the variants. If so, the original conversion record
is deleted. Because each conversion record must have one variant that
is identical to the target name, if you attempt to move the variant
identical to the target name or a selection of variants that includes
the identical variant, an error message displays.
Procedure
- From the List tab of the Operating
System Conversion application, click the operating system conversion
record containing the operating system variant or variants that you
want to move to a different operating system conversion record.
- From the Select Action menu, select Move
Variants.
- In the Target Operating System field
of the Move Variants window, click Select Value and
select an operating system name.
- If appropriate, in the Variants table
window, clear the selection box for any variants listed that you do
not want to move to the target operating system name. By default,
all variants are selected and moved to the new conversion record unless
you clear the check boxes.
- Click OK. One of the following events
occurs:
- The operating system variants are moved to the specified
operating system conversion record. If you move all the variants from
the original operating system conversion, the original conversion
record is deleted.
- If you move selected variants (but not all variants)
and include in your selection the variant identical to the target
name, an error message displays. Click OK in
response to the error message. On the Move Variants window, clear
the selection box for the variant identical to the original target
name and click OK. The selected operating system
variants are moved to the specified target operating system. By default,
when you save your changes, the modified operating system conversion
record is marked as reviewed. The Reviewed check
box on the Operating System Conversion tab
is selected, and the Reviewed column in the
table on the List tab displays a Y.
