The next section of this chapter explains how to make some of the SSDM’s screen displays "silent"—that is, invisible to the end user. In that case, ordinarily the gwdtapp.ini file is further modified to provide to the program whatever information the "silent" screen would otherwise collect from the user. But if the program can’t find that information in the .ini file, and if the screen that ordinarily collects it has been hidden, the function will fail and the user’s data will not be fully migrated. This is a likely cause of any failed or incomplete single-user migration if the gwdtapp.ini file has been modified to make one or more screens "silent."
These program customizations are optional, accomplished by manipulating certain parameters in the gwdtapp.ini file, as described in the topics below:
Some elements of the SSDM program flow can also be controlled by command-line switches, appended to the program command when the Desktop Migrator is executed. These command-line switches, and how they interact with pertinent INI-file parameters, are described at the end of this chapter, in the topic Command-line switches for running the SSDM in silent mode.
