Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.15.2


	NOTE: This Wizard’s performance is dramatically affected by the location of archives and PABs being located and scanned. It typically runs much slower when scanning archives and PABs on a remote file system.

Operations to perform:

•

Mark either of these options to tell the wizard what you want it to:

Find new data stores and gather statistics: Scans the Notes environment for all data stores, and collects statistics for each.

Gather statistics on previously located data stores: Update the statistics for data stores that were found in a previous run of this Wizard, and do not look for any other data stores.

•

Add/Replace mode: A drop-down list for you to specify what the wizard should do with the information it finds (choose one option):

•

Add to existing data: Scan for data stores, and add the found stores (and their statistics) to the existing list of previously found data stores.

•

Replace data previously found in these locations: Update the statistics for the existing list of previously found data stores.

•

Replace all previously located data: Delete all previously found data stores and their associated statistics from Migrator for Notes to Exchange’s database, and then scan and collect statistics from scratch.

Data to locate: Mark one or more of the checkboxes to tell the wizard the types of data you want it to find:

[ ] Mail files
[ ] Personal Address Books (PABs)
[ ] Archives

Specify How to Find Notes Mail Files

Select the appropriate option to tell the wizard how it should look for users' server mail files:

•

Through Domino server(s): Tells the wizard to look for users' server-based mail files via the server. The wizard will open each mail file using the admin credentials provided in the Specify Notes Login Information screen (or in the Notes Server Configuration screen in Notes Migration Manager). The admin must be listed in the Manager ACL for the NSF file.

•

Scan file system directories that I specify: Tells the wizard to look for server-based mail via the file system, in a subtree to be specified later in this Wizard.

A third option is offered only if at least one user has a MailFilePath specified in the SQL database:

•

Use MailFilePath from database (m of n populated): Tells the wizard to look for server-based mail in the locations specified per-user in the MailFilePath column of the SQL database. The "m of n populated" reports the number of users in the collection who have a MailFilePath (m) out of the total number of users in the collection (n).

Click Next to advance to the next screen.

Specify Notes Mail File Directories

This screen appears only if you told the wizard (in the Specify How to Find Notes Mail Files screen) to Scan file system directories to look for users' server-based mail files.

Specify the directory subtree(s) where the wizard should look for users' server-based mail files, and click Next.

Directories must be specified as UNC paths.

To specify each subtree:

•

Use the Browse button to find the subtree (or just type the subtree notation), and click Add to add it to the Mail file directories list below.

To specify more than one subtree:

•

Repeat the above process: Just Add as many subtrees as you like to the Mail file directories list.

To remove a subtree from the Mail file directories list:

•

Select the subtree within the list, and click Remove selected.

When the the Mail file directories list contains all of the subtrees you want the wizard to search for users' server-based mail files (and no others), click Next to advance to the next screen.

Specify How to Find Notes Personal Address Books

Select the appropriate option to tell the wizard how it should look for users' PABs (personal address books):

•

Scan for replicas on the server: Tells the wizard to look for users' PABs in replicas that have been uploaded to a particular location on a server. For this option the admin account specified in the Specify Notes Login Information screen (or in the Notes Server Configuration screen in Notes Migration Manager) must be listed as a manager for all NSF files to be migrated. If Quest's PAB Replicator is used, the admin account is automatically added as a manager when users copy their PABs to the server.

•

Scan file system directories that I specify: Tells the wizard to look for users' PABs via the file system, in a subtree to be specified later in this Wizard.


	NOTE: If the Notes Data Locator Wizard finds a PAB twice, once by the server and then again by the file system, the Data Migration Wizard will try to migrate it twice. But the file-system attempt will fail and generate an error because the successful server access will have locked the file, rendering it inaccessible. While the radio buttons in this screen make it impossible to locate by both methods at once, it is possible to run the wizard more than once, and to select different location methods in differents runs of the wizard.


	NOTE: PAB data will be duplicated in Exchange if you remigrate to the server and use a different method (server vs. file system) than the first migration.

A third option is offered only if at least one user has an entry in the SQL database for PABPaths or SharedPABDirs:

•

Use PABPaths and/or SharedPABDirs from database (m of n populated): Tells the wizard to look for users' PABs in the locations specified per-user in the PABPaths or SharedPABDirs column of the SQL database. The "m of n populated" reports the number of users in the collection who have a PABPaths or SharedPABDirs entry (m) out of the total number of users in the collection (n).
