This page outlines the steps needed to run Recorder either after Virtual Agents have been created or as part of a full migration.

Examples for running under Linux and Windows is provided below.

Using Recorder in Linux

Step 1

Download the Tranzman Agent. The Agent will be in a TGZ type file. This agent will need to be run on the physical/ real server.

Step 2

Once the file has been copied to the target system, change the permissions to 777 to allow it to be extracted.

chmod 777 tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz

Step 3

Extract files from the TGZ archive using the tar command.

tar xvzf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz

Step 4

Modify access to all files extracted in the newly created tzm_recorder folder.

chmod 777 tzm_recorder -R

Step 5

Run tzm_recorder found in the extracted folder.

./tzm_recorder

Step 6

Once all Catalog information has been collected, it will be be saved into a ZIP file.

Step 7

Copy the generated ZIP file to a temporary location, then upload it to relevant Virtual Server on the Tranzman Appliance via the Web-GUI.

Step 8

Once the upload process is complete, resume the relevant Virtual Agent for it to process the Catalog information from the source server.

Using Recorder in Windows

Step 1

Download the Tranzman Agent by clicking on the action button as shown below. This agent will need to be run on the physical/ real server.

Step 4

Once TZM_Recorder finishes analysing the system, all information will be saved to a ZIP file which can be uploaded to the Tranzman Appliance.

Step 5

Upload the ZIP file to the relevant Virtual Server from the Web-Browser by selecting the upload button, highlighted in the image below.
