NM: What are the folder limitations for Migrations -
Risoluzione
A few questions regarding folder name limitations with regards to what can be migrated and what will happen.
Q. The folder structure cannot go more than 10 levels deep.
What would happen to any folders that were more than 10 levels deep? For example, would none of the folders in the path migrate (nor any email data within them) OR would just the levels beyond 10 not migrate?
A. The folder limit is based on the full folder name character length. Once the character length is exceeded, any other nest folders will be skipped. The messages contained in these folders will be migrated in either another personal folder it exists in, Sent Items, or Unfiled folder.Q. Can folder names contain any special characters: ! @ # % ^ & * [ ] \ ~ ? | < > " ; : + .
A. The special character limitation for Outlook folders is: ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + = { } | [ ] \ : ” ; ‘ < > . ? /. This list would need to be added to the Notes Migrator Configuration Settings document, 'Source Update' tab, 'Replace Characters in Personal Folders' field. Each value separated by a comma ~,`,!,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,(,),_,+,=,{,},|,[,],\,:,”,;,‘,<,>,.,?,/The additional folder limitation that need to take note when create folder in IBM Notes to avoid Migration issue state below:-
Rules for creating folder names in IBM Notes
In addition to the folders that are standard in the IBM® Notes® mail file, you can create your own folders that display in the mail navigation pane. When creating a folder, you should be aware of the limitations for folder names. The limitations apply whether you are using the Notes client or the web client.
Folder names can be any combination of characters, including letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation. However a few characters serve a special purpose. Results are unpredictable if these characters are used.
- Underscore (_)
- Backslash (\)
- Vertical bar (|)
- Control characters (codes less than Unicode 32 decimal) cannot be used. For example, do not use tab as a character in a folder name.
- Parentheses can be used in some parts of the name. You can use a single parenthesis, such as animal(names, or enclose a portion of the name in parentheses, such as animal(names). However do not enclose the entire name in parentheses, such as (animal names).
Case is preserved in folder names, but they are not case-sensitive. For example, Notes does not distinguish between folders named Animal Names and one named animal names. Duplicate folder names are not allowed unless they are in separate subfolders. So if a subfolder named Animal Names (mixed case) already exists in a folder, you cannot create a folder named animal names (all lowercase) within the same folder.
The full folder name, including all aliases, can have up to 64 bytes. English characters each use one byte, but in other languages, characters often use more bytes per character. Subfolder names have a 130-byte limitation, which includes the backslash (\) character. The subfolder customers\issues\resolved for example, has 25 characters (25 bytes in English).
The total number of views and folders that can display in the navigation pane of the Mail application varies depending on the fonts used to display their names, as well as other factors in the design of the pane. Also note that some folder names are reserved for Notes application design, such as Inbox, Calendar, or Trash. These names should not be used.
Then run the Fix Folders agent for selected users.
