Title
"Fail to initialize conversion: m_ArchSrc:Init()" -
Description
When running the Self Service Desktop Migrator, it fails to run with the following error:
"Fail to initialize conversion: m_ArchSrc:Init()" -
Cause
When the Self-Service Desktop Migrator initializes, it attempts to locate the notes.ini file. The default location (when the Notes Client is installed) is 'C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes\'. If the notes.ini file is not found in this location, the "Fail to initialize conversion: m_ArchSrc:Init()" error will be seen.
-
Resolution
The following resolves the issue:
- Start Notes the Notes client and confirm it works (select to work-offline if required).
- Confirm that the notes.ini exists in either the 'C:Program Files\Lotus\Notes' or in SYSTEM variable paths. These are obtained by running the 'SET' command within command prompt. If the notes.ini does not exist the following will need to be done:
- Enter the path into the SYSTEM path environment variables. Either by using the SET path command or by using Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment Variables - System Variables - Path. After doing so will require a reboot.
- Enter the location of the notes.ini path explicitly in the notesdtapp.ini file. Do so by adding the following to the [Notes] section:
[Notes]
notesinipath=<fullpathandfilenamehereofthenotesinifile>An example input would therefore be:
[Notes]
notesinipath=H:\Notes\notes.ini -
Additional Information
For more information on the 'notesinipath=<fullpathandfilenamehereofthenotesinifile>' setting, please refer to the "Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange - Program Parameters Reference" guide.
