Description

PackageList

The root element of an Automated Application Converter project file is the <PackageList> element:

The PackageList element identifies the location of the XML namespace used by the application. XML namespaces provide a method to avoid element name conflicts.

Options

The <Options> element of a project file identifies the output location of the converted packages and identifies the currently selected output formats:

Machines

The <Machines> element contains multiple <VirtualMachine> elements, which identify the virtual machines that you have added to the project:

Packages

The <Packages> element contains multiple <Package> elements, which identify the packages that you have added to the project:

Each <Package> element can have multiple <RepackagedPackage>, <VirtualizedPackage>, and <ErrorVirtualizedPackage> elements.

Results

The <Results> element contains multiple <Resultset> elements, each of which contains information on a conversion run:

• Each <Resultset> element of a <Results> element includes information on <Machines>, <Packages>, <Messages>, and multiple <Result> elements for that run.
• Each <Result> element of a <Resultset> element contains information on the conversion run for an individual package.
