How to migrate a Lotus Notes document library that uses the document-response hierarchy?
How to preserve this model in SharePoint using the Notes Migrator tool?
The following workarounds are available to choose from:-
1. Use an existing SharePoint list template. The only one that supports response hierarchies is the Discussion list. Migrator Notes for SharePoint (MNSP) can migrate to this using the checkbox "Preserve response hierarchies" feature. Extend the Discussion list to include other fields, but it is admittedly still very "Discussion like" and probably not great for the "Document Library" scenario described.
2. Use Development Studio for SharePoint Web Parts. This will give a lot of options, especially the ability to maintain links between two related lists / content types. From an MNSP perspective, either migrate the internal document ids and parent ids or pick an application data value (such as a Customer Number) to be the key that relates the documents. Development Studio for SharePoint can handle it either way.
3. Break out Visual Studio and code a custom List Template. MNSP can handle the data migration part of the solution.
4. There may be a special case where using response documents to track versions of a document to achieve the desired result. In this case use MNSP to migrate each version (in the right order) and use the "Duplicates become new versions" option.
