Normalizing multi-valued items to multiple documents

Normalizing multi-valued items to multiple documents

Notes forms implement detail records (the things that relational developers would have set up a one-many-relationship for) using multi-valued data fields arranged to look like a table, as shown below. Users would then fill in as many entries as needed, making sure that the values from each multi-valued item lined up properly.

Migrator for Notes to SharePoint can extract the multi-valued items as separate records. To do this, set the Multi-Value disposition option for the columns that you expect to contain arrays to "Normalize". This will cause Migrator for Notes to SharePoint to generate multiple SharePoint items for the values in the columns designated for Normalization.

If you also wanted "header" records you could first migrate those using a separate migration job. You could use lookup fields or some other mechanism to relate the "header" and "detail" columns. For example, Customer ID in the Contacts list could be set up as a lookup field that references the Customers list (where Customer Name and Category are also stored).

Finally, you may encounter Notes forms that list out each item in separate rows, instead of using multi-valued items. Migrator for Notes to SharePoint can handle that case as well, but you will need to do a little work with formulas to generate multi-valued items with Normalize on. For example, you could define a source data definition column with the formula "Product_1: Product_2: Product_3: Product_4" to generate a "Products" array.

NOTE: Documents generated in this manner will not be added to the Link Tracking database, so you cannot link to them.

Restrictions for normalization

The "Normalize" value is only added to the Multi-Value disposition option for columns if the following is true:

•
The migration target is SharePoint (not SQL Server)
•
The target is a custom list (not a document library, discussion, or calendar)
•
The target SharePoint field is one of the types that we support for Normalization (for example, Text). This option is not available for the following field types:
▪
Note
▪
WebPartProperty and PageName
▪
Attachments
▪
DocumentSet
▪
File, FileName and Folder
▪
InfoPathDocument, WordDocument and PdfDocument
•
The target field (SharePoint) is only for the primary list (that is, "AppliesTo" must be set to "PrimaryOnly" or "ContentTypes")
•
The source field (Notes) is multi-valued (that is, it must be set to use the "Multi" option)

Generating links to SQL records

Generating links to SQL records

This section of the Advanced tab is for a SQL Server data target definition. If all the images and attachments are going to be stored in a separate table, you can control how the migrated rich text field refers to them by using this option. Here you can specify how links to images, attachments and even other documents should be formatted in the migrated rich text. This feature is optional, and only makes sense if you have designed a web application to display the images and attachment files in response to a web request.

Generating XML documents

Generating XML documents

Migrator for Notes to SharePoint Document Generation feature allows you to generate XML documents and ASPX pages from Notes documents. This is accomplished by substituting elements in a "template" XML document that you provide with values derived from each Notes document being migrated. All the powerful data extraction capabilities of Migrator for Notes to SharePoint will be available here, including rich-text, attachments, dynamic @formulas for data conversion, multi-valued item handling, author name and access control mapping, versioning, and much more. The resulting generated XML documents can be saved into SharePoint as Document Library files, Form Library documents, List Item fields or Web Part Pages.
