Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.15.2 - Administration Guide

Defining new language sections

The Global Defaults, Task Parameters, and notesdtapp.ini file contain parameter sections that specify the names of migrated Outlook folders in various languages. For example, the section for Japanese [JPN] appears in the example here. The Data Migration Wizard refers to the appropriate section when naming new Outlook folders. (The wizard determines the "appropriate" language section by reading the Windows locale.)

The Global Defaults and notesdtapp.ini file contain sections for several common languages, and common variants of the world's primary languages—for example, French as spoken in France vs. Canada vs. Belgium vs. Monaco, and so forth. But the default program parameters do not include sections for many less common language variants.

The Global Defaults and notesdtapp.ini file do, however, contain sections for more generic forms of the world's primary languages, so if the wizard can't find a section for a language variant associated with a particular locale, the wizard will instead consult the more generic section. In Quebec, for example, if the wizard can't find a section for [FRC] (Canadian French), it will instead use the folder names specified in [FR] (generic French). In releases prior to 4.0.0.34, the wizard would default to English-language folder names if it couldn't find a section for a particular language variant.

If the default program parameters do not contain a section for the language variant associated with your locale, and if you don't want to use the more generic language alternative, you can create a new section for the language variant you want. You can add a new section to the Global Defaults, or notesdtapp.ini, or both. The section name must be exactly three letters, and must conform to the conventions of the Language TLAs for Various Locales table (below).

How do I enable remote management on an Exchange 2010 or later server?

Run "winrm quickconfig" on the Exchange server, as shown below. These lines show your user input (in bold) in addition to the program output:

Pre-migration preparations

These tasks are typically performed when configuring Migrator for Notes to Exchange for a particular migration project:

How do I add or edit program parameters?

The parameters for the Self-Service Desktop Migrator are saved and may be edited in a text file, notesdtapp.ini, which resides in the same path with the Desktop Migrator application. All other Migrator for Notes to Exchange parameters are for the administrator components, and these parameters exist in two forms:

The Notes Migration Manager maintains the Global Defaults in the SQL database, and permits editing Global Defaults to suit local circumstances and preferences. Each time a wizard creates a task, the wizard copies the parameters from the Global Defaults to the task definition, where they become Task Parameters. The Task Parameters may then be edited separately for each particular task.

Global Defaults, Task Parameters, and the parameters within notesdtapp.ini are all edited the same way, as if all three sets of parameters were stored in an INI file. The features that let you edit Global Defaults and Task Parameters actually copy the current parameter settings from the SQL database into a text document in Windows' Notepad, so you can use Notepad's text-editing features to change parameter values or add new parameter specifications. The full procedures are described separately below. Since notesdtapp.ini is an actual INI text file, you can use Notepad or any other text editor to edit its contents.
