Moving operating system variants

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:

Procedure

  1. 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.
  2. From the Select Action menu, select Move Variants.
  3. In the Target Operating System field of the Move Variants window, click Select Value and select an operating system name.
  4. 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.
  5. Click OK. One of the following events occurs:
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
