A migration process is a sequence of tasks to be performed, usually in a particular order. The process instructions in the Migrator for Notes to Exchange Scenarios Guide (chapters 2 and 3) illustrate how some migration tasks are performed by Migrator for Notes to Exchange, while others are performed manually or using other applications.
All Notes Migration Manager wizards define tasks and all wizards can perform their tasks as soon as they are defined. Some wizards can schedule tasks to run at a later time or date, or to run at a recurring series of dates and times.
The following wizards are launched from the Notes Migration Manager:
• |
NAB Discovery Wizard: Searches the Notes/Domino server to locate all Notes NABs (Name and Address Books). The Directory Export Wizard and Internet Domains Discovery Wizard extract critical directory information from the NABs which is read by the MNE provisioning and migration wizards so that they can perform their tasks. |
• |
Internet Domains Discovery Wizard: Extracts all the Internet domains it finds within the Notes NABs (Name and Address Books) that were located by the NAB Discovery Wizard. The domains are used to generate address aliases for all users so that Exchange can recognize and correctly route mail sent to the user old addresses. |
• |
Directory Export Wizard: Gathers user information from the Domino server to create the SQL Server data tables that provide critical input data to the MNE provisioning and migration wizards. |
• |
Collection Wizard: Used to define the member contents of user and group collections. Provisioning, migration, and other functions are applied to collections of users and groups, and the Collection Wizard is where you create the collections. You can add members to a collection by selecting objects from Active Directory or by importing the contents of a .tsv (tab-separated-value) file, or both. |
• |
Groups Provisioning Wizard: Defines a task that provisions the distribution groups (creates group objects) within Active Directory from a designated group collection, and schedules the task to run at a particular time, or at a series of recurring times. |
• |
Notes Data Locator Wizard: Defines a task that locates the data files in the Notes source for a specific user collection, or gathers statistics from previously located data stores, and schedules the task to run at a particular time or at a series of recurring times. |
• |
Provisioning Wizard: Provisions objects in local Active Directory from Notes user data previously exported from Domino to the MNE SQL database. The Provisioning Wizard consolidates any duplicate objects in AD by merging information from Exchange contacts (generated by a directory update, typically using the Quest CMN Directory Connector) into corresponding user AD accounts, and deleting the contacts, to leave a single mail-enabled security object per user. |
• |
Send PAB Replicator Wizard: Sends a special email form to users in a particular user collection that lets the users copy their PABs (personal address books) to a centralized Notes server directory, from which the Data Migration Wizard can find them and migrate them. |
• |
Data Migration Wizard: Defines a task to perform some combination of the following functions for users in a collection: |
• |
Self-Service Desktop Migration Statistics Collection Wizard: Gathers migration statistics written by the Self-Service Desktop Migrator (SSDM) and loads the data to the SQL database to help you track the progress of the migration project. |
The MNE console navigation drawer in the top right corner contains the following options.
Click Global Default Settings to export the default program-configuration information from the SQL database to a text-only format and to launch Windows Notepad to view and edit the file. For information and procedural instructions, see Appendix A: How Do I Add or Edit Program Parameters?
NOTE: Editing the Global Default Settings does not change any program configuration for previously created tasks. Wizards retrieve Global Default Settings only as they create tasks, not when they run tasks. |
After a software upgrade to 4.16.1, the navigation drawer contains the Upgrade Templates option. Click to upgrade all the full templates in the database to differential templates. A full template does not pick up new Global Default settings after it is created. A differential template can pick up new Global Default settings.
If you do not upgrade all full templates in the database to differential templates during the MNE console start up, you can still select Upgrade Templates from the MNE navigation drawer to upgrade them. After that, the Upgrade Templates item is removed from the MNE navigation drawer.
Opens a dialog box on which you can change the number of minutes of inactivity the Data Migration Wizard waits in a program run before concluding that a process has encountered a fatal error and ends the process. Set the Minutes parameter to your preferred value and click OK.
For migration to Office 365, more process timeouts are typically generated and this can become problematic if you are migrating large numbers of large messages (usually due to large attachments). The Data Migration Wizard may even end its run if it encounters too many timeouts. You might want to set the timeout Minutes value to 30 for an Office 365 migration to handle less robust transmission paths.
A toggle setting that determines if the wizards allow you to edit Task Parameters—configuration parameters that are specific to the current task—from within the wizard, without changing the Global Default Settings. For information and procedural instructions, see Appendix A: How Do I Add or Edit Program Parameters?
