Citrix "Drag and Drop" Published Application Migration Tool - Project Mobius
One of the most popular ways to migrate from one Citrix Presentation Server farm to a new Citrix Presentation Server farm is to build the farms in parallel and use Web Interface to aggregate the two separate farms’ published applications. This is a great strategy and I have used parallel farms many times in the past to migrate users to a new farm. One of the challenges of this strategy is duplicating published applications and policies from the old farm to the new farm. Traditionally, you would need to either manually create each published application in the new farm or use scripting to export/import published applications. This is where Project Mobius comes in. Project Mobius is a Microsoft Windows application that allows you to drag and drop published applications and/or folders from one Citrix Presentation Server farm to one or more separate Citrix Presentation Server farms. Project Mobius currently only has capabilities to migrate published applications, but the capability to migrate policies is slated for a future release.
The MFCOM interfaces and methods used in the source code for Project Mobius should be compatible with Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 and above. However, Project Mobius has specifically been tested on the following platforms:
· Citrix MetaFrame XP FR3
· Citrix Presentation Server 3.0
· Citrix Presentation Server 4.0
· Citrix Presentation Server 4.5
