Integrating with Application Migration
Application Migration intelligently automates the migration of applications during a Configuration Manager OS deployment. Using migration rules (defined by an administrator), previously installed applications can be reinstalled, upgraded or replaced with an alternative during an OS deployment task sequence.
These rules can include usage criteria, allowing you to choose to only install previously installed applications if they were being used, or perhaps replace a rarely used application with a less costly alternative. This functionality enables applications to be actively rationalized during an OS migration exercise, standardizing on products and versions and reclaiming unused software.
Shopping provides the following features which support migration of applications during OS deployment:

Please refer to Self-service Operating System deployment for more information on configuring OS Deployment applications
You can optionally integrate with Application Migration to supplement Self-service Operating System deployment, whereby the Windows Servicing Assistant (WSA) or the Shopping OSD Wizard can show users which applications will be migrated to their new OS.
When Shopping is used for self-service OS deployment, the OSD Wizard (Applications to reinstall page) lists applications that will be installed as a result of applying the defined Application migration rules. In order for Shopping to display this list when Application Migration is in use, it is necessary to enable Shopping integration with Application Migration using Tachyon integration.
