Starting a Migration

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Important

This documentation is for a pre-release feature still under development and, therefore, incomplete. As a result, both functionality and documentation are subject to change.

Once this feature is released, it will be announced and this banner removed.

There are three different types of application migrations we currently support in Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud, depending on the results of the Migration scan:

• Publish the App in Intune as a Suggested PMPC Catalog App

• Publish the App in Intune as a PMPC Catalog App

• Publish the App in Intune as a PMPC Custom App

The process to start a migration is the same regardless of the type of target app that will be created in PMPC Cloud/Intune.

To perform a migration:

1. Sign in to your PMPC Cloud Company.

2. Navigate to Migration.

   
3. Find the application you want to migrate.

   

Tip

You can use the Search box and start typing the name of the application to help you find it.

Alternatively, you can click the filter button and select the checkbox beside the Match Type of the application you wish to migrate (PMPC App or Custom App). Then, click Apply All Filters to view only the matching applications.

1. If a warning triangle is not present in Info column for that application, go to step 11.

2. If a warning triangle is shown in the Info column, click it to open the properties of the application.

   
3. On the properties of the application, locate the tab(s) with a warning triangle beside them.

   
4. Click the relevant tab and look for the items with the warning triangle beside them.

5. Review the warning and determine your course of action.

6. If you are happy to proceed with the migration, go to step 11.

7. If you cannot proceed with the migration, then close the property of the application and click Cancel to close the Migration Wizard. You will now need to determine how you address the warnings to determine your next course of action for this application.

1. The behavior of the Migrate button depends on both the application Match Type and the Migrate button state shown in the UI. The image below highlights two possible Migrate button states:

   • Button State 1 – Single Migrate button Clicking Migrate immediately starts the migration wizard.

   • Button State 2 – Migrate button with dropdown Clicking Migrate displays additional options, allowing you to choose how the application should be migrated.

   

   Migrate Button State

   Use the sections below to determine which action to take based on the application’s Match Type and the Migrate button state shown.

• Match Type: Catalog App, Button State = 1 If the application is identified as a Catalog App, click Migrate and follow the instructions to Publish the App in Intune as a PMPC Catalog App.

• Match Type: Custom App, Button State = 1 If the application is identified as a PMPC Custom App and no alternative catalog match is available, the migration will proceed directly as a custom app. Click Migrate and follow the instructions to Publish the App in Intune as a PMPC Custom App.

• Match Type: Custom App, Button State = 2 If the application is identified as a Custom App, but a potential catalog match was identified based on application metadata instead of the file hash, the drowp-down menu will present two options:

• Match to Catalog App Select this option to migrate the application using the suggested catalog match and follow the instructions to Publish the App in Intune as a Suggested PMPC Catalog App.

• Create a Custom App Select this option to migrate the application as a PMPC Custom App and follow the instructions to Publish the App in Intune as a PMPC Custom App.
