2.4 Setting Advanced Options

2.4  Setting Advanced Options

The Advanced view provides some additional tools, such as setting migration status, sending, or inserting migration messages, which prepare and manage your data for migration.

  1. Click Advanced in the Navigation Pane

    Advanced View

2.4.1 User Migration Actions

To select user migration actions:

  1. Select users and click the User Migration Actions button

  2. The User Migration Actions drop-down menu displays:

    Advanced View

    The following table describes the function of each menu option:

Option

Description

Send Migration Message to Selected User(s)

Allows you to send an email notification using predefined or customized message templates to selected users.

Insert Migration Message into Selected User(s) Inbox

Allows you to simply insert a migration message into a user’s inbox. The Insert Migration Message option is used when mail cannot be delivered to the user's Notes inbox. This option is also used if the user has already been migrated and their mail is now being delivered to Outlook, but post-migration, they need to sync contacts or to copy archives that were missed before the migration. In these cases, messages are delivered to Outlook rather than Notes, but don’t work. Running this agent drops the selected migration messages directly into the Notes inbox (or Notes archive inbox) for the mail file specified on the selected document, rather than mailing it.

Send Rules Email to Selected User(s)

Allows you to send Rules Email to Selected Users.

Send Encrypted Summary Email to Selected User(s)

Allows you to send a summary of all the encrypted items in an email to selected users.

Fix Contacts & Group Members

Allows you to look for personal contacts whose mail address format is NOT SMTP (usually accounts imported from the Domino Directory).  It will search the Migrator for Notes Email Repliability for a matching Person document, and if found, replace the mail address with the internet address from Domino. Likewise, it will convert personal group members from Notes Name format to SMTP for members that can be matched in the Email Repliability.

 

The Migrator for Notes Email Repliability should be imported (and updated) prior to running the Fix Contacts processing.

 

Double-byte characters of Display Names are not processed correctly when converting to the Notes Canonical Name if Fix Contacts & Groups Members has not been run prior to migration.

 

This action will modify the source mail file data so a backup of the users’ email files should be verified prior to processing these updates.

 

Additionally, this action can be processed in advance of user accounts being set for migration under the Migration | 1.Set Migration Profile step but end users are likely to make changes while still using Notes so these actions should be performed immediately prior to migration.

 

Processing performed by the action will be logged in a text file on the Migration Controller Server in a sub folder of the Log Folder specified on the Settings | User Provisioning tab.

Fix Folders

Allows you to fix folders appending a “-Migrated” to the end of any non-system created folder that has a reserved system name (ex: Inbox, Drafts, etc). While HCL Lotus Notes will allow these folders to be created, Exchange will not.

 

This action will modify the source mail file data so a backup of the users’ email files should be verified prior to processing these updates.

 

Additionally, this action can be processed in advance of user accounts being set for migration under the Migration | 1.Set Migration Profile step but end users are likely to make changes while still using Notes so these actions should be performed immediately prior to migration.

 

Processing performed by the action will be logged in a text file on the Migration Controller Server in a sub folder of the Log Folder specified on the Settings | User Provisioning tab.

Fix Chat

Allows you to fix HTML formatting in Sametime Chat transcripts stored in the user’s mail file. This will perform a search of the mail file for Sametime Chat documents and will then edit and save the document in the Notes user interface.

 

Note: This does not need to be run if the user does not save Sametime Chat transcripts, the Settings are configured for Rich Text, or if the chat documents are migrating with correct HTML formatting.

Maintain Transitional Calendar Workflow

Allows you to populate BTCache.nsf recurrence pattern information for repeat meetings to ensure that calendar workflow functions as intended regardless of the migration status of the chairperson and invitees. This assumes that Notes Integration is fully configured. When this option is run, the number of errors, start and completion status, and messages that could not be found in the destination database are listed in the MTCW Error Report section of the person document.

To manage replication:

  1. Expand the Advanced view and then click Replication Management | Create Replicas:

    Create Replicas View

  4. Select an option form the Verify Actions drop-down menu; a Quick Push Replication option is also available; click the Help button for more information about the replica comparison view

    Compare All Replicas View



Normally, replicas on the staging server are created by a scheduled connection between the staging server and the home server of the user mail file.  The “quick push” button forces the servers to create/replicate the selected databases immediately with waiting for the schedule. Domino Connection documents are required between the home server and staging server for replication to function.

The table below described the function of each option in the Verify Actions dropdown menu:
