Migration Project Configuration Files
A Migration Project File contains the settings and a list of migration units that you wish to process as a coherent set.Migration Project Files
A Migration Project document is an XML file with *.gmproj extension.A Migration Project is created using the Migration Project Setup form as described in the Preparation section of this guide.
A Migration Project file contains two types of information:
- migration settings
- a list of migration tasks.

Task List Data ... ]]></TaskList> </gmStudio>The settings stored with the Migration Project are initially set when you create the project file as discussed the Preparation section. The settings in a Migration Project file include the following:
| Element | Description |
| MigType | Migration Type: VBP or WEB. |
| DevEnv | Target IDE: VS2005 or VS2008. |
| ProjFolder | Workspace Root Folder: this folder will contain Migration Project-specific folders to contain files such as logs, Configuration Files, and reports. |
| DeployFolder | Deployment Root Folder: this folder will receive deployments of migrated code. The deployment folder can be defined in terms of application variables. For example, to make the deployment folder a child of the workspace set DeployFolder to something like this
To make the deploy folder relative to the location of the migration unit, set DeployFolder to something like this
See the discussion of Deployment for more information on target project folder naming conventions. |
| TlbSearchPath | TypeLib Search Path. This is a semicolon delimited list of folders to use to find COM components that are not registered. |
| VirtualRootFolder | Virtual Root Folder: this folder is used as the "VirtualRoot" when resolving #includes in ASP Site migrations. Not used by VBP migrations. |
| TaskFilter | Task Filter: a sequence of pipe-delimited wild-card patterns that define which migration tasks to display in the gmStudio UI. This element is maintained by the [Filter Dialog] in gmStudio. |
| BatchCommands | Command List: a comma-delimited list of operations to be performed when the user clicks the Batch Button. This element is maintained by the [Batch Control] Dialog in gmStudio. |
| TaskList | Task List: The list of Migration tasks associated with the migration project. |
The task lists stored with each Migration Project describes a collection of Migration Units (e.g., VBPs or ASP pages). Each item in the task list contains about 20 pieces of data that describe the nature and status of a migration unit.
Migration Tasks are added on the Migration Project setup form. Tasks may be removed using the Migration Task Context Menu. Individual tasks may be edited on the [Edit] display of the [Information] Panel. gmStudio can also help you edit and load a task list as a tab-delimited file.
Task Record Format
Task records are stored as a block of tab-delimited text in the Migration Project files.Each task record contains the following fields:
| Field | Description |
| BldPath | Path of build product |
| BldType | Type of build product (VBP:Exe|OleDll|OleExe|Control or WEB:PULP|INCLUDE|PAGE) |
| LastMsg | Last status message |
| LibRegd | Referenced COM components are registered (READY|NOTFOUND) |
| MigName | Name of parent migration project |
| NetBlds | .NET Build Status (SUCCESS|FAIL) |
| NetLang | Target .NET Language (csh|vbn) |
| NetSize | Source LOC for .NET (includes RESX, CODE, PROJ) |
| RefStat | Interface description file status (see LibStat Flags) |
| SrcBlds | VB6 Build Status (SUCCESS|FAIL) |
| SrcFile | Name of migration unit source file |
| SrcFldr | Location of migration unit source file (Vbp or Web content) |
| SrcName | Unique identifier of the task within the migration project |
| SrcOrdr | Task build order based on VBP references or ASP #includes |
| SrcSize | Source LOC for VBP/ASP (may be negative if files are missing) |
| SrcType | Type of migration unit (VBP|WEB|XML) |
| TScript | Translation script template name |
| TaskTag | A short string used to differentiate different types of migration tasks; for example for different migration configurations |
| TrnStat | Translation Status (SUCCESS|WARN|ERROR|ABEND) |
| UsrCmds | User command script to run after key processing steps translation, deployment, or build (optional). See User Batch Command Script in this section. |
| UsrCmnt | User-Defined Comment for filtering and tracking (optional) |
| UsrDesc | User-Defined Description of Task (optional) |
