Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.17 - Program Parameters Reference Guide

[TimeZoneNames] section

For most migrations, configuring the [TimeZoneInfo] section should be sufficient to determine the correct time zone for scheduled meetings and appointments. However, if two very similar time zones are being used, the migration may have difficulty identifying the correct time zone. Configuring the [TimeZoneNames] section can provide additional guidance.

Each Notes meeting and appointment contains a time zone description string similar to the following:

The ZN parameter of the string identifies the name of the time zone. If the appointment was scheduled from a Windows client or browser, the name corresponds to a name in the Windows time zone database and a unique time zone match is assured. If the appointment was scheduled from a mobile device or a non-Windows operating system, the time zone name will not match a Windows time zone and additional steps must be taken.

In the example shown above, scheduled from an Android device, the time zone America/New_York corresponds to the Windows time zone identifier Eastern Standard Time. You can configure the [TimeZoneNames] section to map non-Windows time zone names to their Windows equivalent. For example:

The value on the right corresponds to the identifier of the Windows time zone. See the [TimeZoneInfo] section for details on retrieving the correct time zone identifier.

[Titles] section

The parameters in this [Titles] section specify Chinese equivalents of English-language courtesy titles. Notes saves the Titles in English, but displays them in the localized language, so the migration program can migrate only the stored English-language titles. These parameters are therefore necessary to convert the migrated English-language titles into the appropriate localized Chinese equivalents in Exchange. For example:

Each parameter tells the program to convert the title listed as the keyword (left of the = sign) to the Chinese string to the right of the = sign.

[User] section

All parameters in this [User] section are internal transient parameters, used by the program to pass information from one subroutine to another. Any manual manipulation of these parameters is meaningless and will have no affect on the program or data, since any preexisting parameter values are overwritten by the program as soon as it runs. Parameters in this section include:
