Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.16.1

Send PAB Replicator Wizard

•

Introduction

The Send PAB Replicator Wizard sends a special email form to Notes users in a particular user collection that lets them copy all their PABs (personal address books) to a centralized Notes server directory, where the Data Migration Wizard can find and migrate them.

The PAB Replicator Wizard is applied to a particular user collection, designated in the Send PAB Replicator screen of Notes Migration Manager, from which this wizard is launched. Field definitions and application notes for the wizard’s screens are provided in the sections that follow.


	NOTE: The email form that this feature sends to users contains a button icon that users can click to start the replication function. An iNotes client, however, renders the message as plain text, so the button does not appear for iNotes users. The form tells users to Press the button below so the loss of the button in iNotes can confuse iNotes users who receive the form. Most iNotes users do not need the PAB Replicator form since their address books are stored in their mail files. However, if your user population contains iNotes users and Notes users, you may want to organize your collections to segregate the two groups and send the PAB Replicator form only to the latter.

Migrator for Notes to Exchange offers a choice of six standard templates for the Replicator form and you can customize any of the templates to suit your needs. The wizard also signs the selected Replicator form with the digital keys associated with a specified administrator (identified during the program run), to authorize running the form’s executable instructions on user workstations and on the server without triggering security alerts (or at least triggering fewer of them).


	NOTE: The administrator specified on the wizard Notes Login screen is identified as the sender (From) of the form, and is the administrator whose digital keys are used to sign the form. The User ID file must be the one that is on the ECL when sending PAB Replicators—not a separate, Quest-specific ID file that would not be present on the ECL.

Customize Configuration

This screen, which lets you edit the Task Parameters for this task, appears only if the Advanced Settings option is selected on the View menu in Notes Migration Manager. To enable or disable this capability to edit Task Parameters:

•

In Notes Migration Manager, on the View menu, select (enable) or clear (disable) the Advanced Settings option.

The Advanced Settings option is a toggle that determines whether the wizards let you open and edit Task Parameters. If the feature is enabled, the Customize Configuration screen is displayed at the start of the screen sequence for any wizard that offers this feature.

Task Parameters are edited as if the parameters were stored in an INI file, although the parameters are stored as part of the task definition within the SQL database. The Customize Configuration feature copies the current parameter settings from the SQL database into a text document in Windows Notepad, so you can use the Notepad text-editing features to change parameter values or add new parameter specifications.

To add or edit Task Parameters:

Click Edit.

The wizard opens the task configuration settings in Windows Notepad.

Find the pertinent [SectionName] for the parameter you want to add, or the value you want to edit.


	NOTE: Some parameters in different sections share the same keyname, so it is very important that parameter values be entered and edited in the correct sections.
