1E 8.1 (on-premises)

Web Service Base URL

You can connect either using HTTP or HTTPS. In either case, the URL will be based on the settings made on the Website Configuration screen of the Tachyon Setup program. Please refer to Website configuration for more details.

For example, if your Tachyon server FQDN is ACME-TCN01.ACME.LOCAL and your Tachyon DNS alias is TACHYON.ACME.LOCAL, and these have been configured as the host headers on the Website Configuration screen of the Tachyon Setup program, then either of the following URLs can be used:

If you have specified a custom port on the Website Configuration screen of the Tachyon Setup program, then this should also be added to the URLs. For example:

Credentials (for Web service call)

The username and password used to call the Application Migration API – this account must already exist as user on Tachyon.

If the Domain\User Name and Password are left empty, the Configuration Manager Network Access Account is used to fetch data from Application Migration (to use this option the Network Access Account must be added as a Tachyon user).

Source Computer Domain

In most cases, the Source Computer Domain will be the same domain that the OS is being deployed in. If you are migrating computers from one domain to another through the OS deployment process, you must select the Specify Domain option and enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the originating domain, as this will be the domain that the computer belongs to in Tachyon from previous inventory.

Source Computer Name Variable

The name of the task sequence variable that is used to store the source computer name (the computer from which applications are being migrated).

Application Variable

The base variable name which this task sequence step uses to define the Configuration Manager Applications to be installed. This is used to define the base variable in a later Install Application step that is configured to install applications according to a dynamic variable list.

For example, if Application Variable is set to APPMIG, this step will dynamically set variables APPMIG01, APPMIG02 etc. corresponding to the applications to be installed dictated by the application migration rules applied to the specified source computer.

Package Variable

The base variable name which this task sequence step uses to define the Configuration Manager Packages to be installed. This is used to define the base variable in a later Install Package step that is configured to install packages according to a dynamic variable list.

For example, if Package Variable is set to PKGMIG, this step will dynamically set variables PKGMIG001, PKGMIG002 etc. corresponding to the packages to be installed dictated by the application migration rules applied to the specified source computer.

Refresh

Also known as Wipe-and-Load, the data on the computer is backed up, the disk is wiped, a new OS is installed and applications are installed subject to their respective migration rules. If no application migration rule exists for an application, it will not be installed.

Replace

Data and applications are migrated from one computer to another. Applications that are migrated to the new computer are subject to the application migration rules for the source computer. If no application rule exists for an application, it will not be installed on the new computer.

InPlace

Windows setup is executed on an existing computer to upgrade the OS. The disk is not wiped, so existing data and installed applications are preserved. In this instance, Application Migration will install only applications that are subject to a replace or upgrade migration rules. Retain rules are ignored.

NewComputer

Also known as bare-metal, this is a new build computer where no applications or data are being migrated. However, you can use the Role Based Application Sets feature to install applications on new computers.
