Forward Path
Forward Path is a powerful business decision engine in AppDNA that makes it easy to model different deployment scenarios and their impacts. Forward Path is controlled by scenario and task scripts, which you create in the Forward Path Logic Editor. See Forward Path for more information.
Using Forward Path, you can create scenarios that reflect organizational decisions and run task scripts based on the results. For example, when preparing a migration to Windows 7, you could create a Forward Path scenario to determine which applications are suitable for deployment as App-V packages, which should be deployed to the desktop, and which require redevelopment. By associating task scripts with the scenario, you could automate the App-V sequencing, for example.
To open Forward Path, from the side bar, choose .
To change the scenario, click Change scenario on the Options toolbar, and then select the scenario you want to use from the drop-down list.
