Notes Data Locator Wizard

Introduction

Notes data stores contain the data associated with Notes features: emails, PABs, archives, calendar data, and so on. (Generically, a data store is any repository of data.) Some Notes data stores reside in central locations where they are available to all users. Other data stores reside on user local workstations, each containing only the information associated with the individual user. Migrator for Notes to Exchange can migrate data from anywhere within the Notes system but only if it knows where the various data stores reside.

Migrator for Notes to Exchange includes a Notes Data Locator Wizard that scans the Notes environment for all data stores associated with a designated user collection. The wizard records (in the MNE SQL database) the locations of all data stores it finds together with associated statistics. The wizard displays the information in a table in the MNE Notes Migration Manager, on the Locate Notes Data Stores screen under User Collections. Statistics include information such as the size of the store, number of items in the store, average per-item size of items in the store, date and time the statistics were last collected or updated.

Using the Notes Data Locator Wizard, you define a task to locate data files in the Notes source for a specific user collection or gather statistics from previously located data files. You can schedule the task to run at a particular time or at a series of recurring times. You can configure the wizard to locate data files by type (mail vs. PABs vs. archives) in any combination.

The Notes Data Locator Wizard is launched from the Locate Notes Data Stores screen of Notes Migration Manager, and is always applied to the user collection specified in the Locate Notes Data Stores screen. Field definitions and application notes for the wizard screens appear in the sections that follow.

NOTE: Since the PAB Replicator is designed to copy the user local data stores to a centralized location, ensure that all users have run the PAB Replicator before you run the Notes Data Locator Wizard.

How to add NSF file locations to user collections

If the Notes Data Locator Wizard does not find user NSF files but you know the locations, you can add the per-user NSF paths to the SQL database so the Data Migration Wizard can migrate them. To edit the contents of a SQL Server data table, you must export the table to a .tsv file, use Microsoft Excel or a similar application to edit the contents, and import the amended values back into the SQL database. This process is explained in Appendix A under How do I specify per-user locations for Notes source data?.

Within the data table, the MailFilePath column defines the specific paths and NSF filenames to users' mail files. For example:
