Sometimes, it may be needed to perform a filtered migration with Self Service Desktop Migrator for Notes Migrator such that only calendar items from a particular date range needs to be migrated. Ordinarily this is possible using Admin Batch migration, but not via SSDM.
The situation may arise where a date filtered calendar migration or message migration needs to be run via SSDM. This FAQ will explain how this can be done.
It is important to note that this process only applies to Notes Migrator 4.0+. With earlier versions of NME, this is not possible.
The notesdtapp.ini will need to be modified as to add the following:
In the [General] section:
AskFilter=1
Add a section at the bottom of the ini file called [Filter]. This section should contain:
FirstDate=mm/dd/yyyy - From what date onwards should SSDM process mailbox items. Optional parameter = None
LastDate=mm/dd/yyyy - Till what date should SSDM process mailbox items. Optional parameter=None
AttachmentSize=xx - Where xx denotes the size in kb of the maximum attachment size to be processed by SSDM. Optional parameter=None
Add a section called [ServerData]. This section should contain:
MigrateCalData=0 - A Zero denotes that Calendar data should not be migrated. A One denotes that Calendar data should be migrated
MigrateMailData=1 - A Zero value denotes that mail data should not be migrated. A One value denotes that Mail data should be migrated
MigrateTrashFolder=0 - A Zero value denotes that mail data should not be migrated. A One value denotes that Mail data should be migrated
Add a section called [Screens]. This section should contain:
Filter=silent
By adding the above parameters in the notesdtapp.ini, it is possible to control the data that should be migrated when using Self Service Desktop Migrator.
Additional information:
It may be necessary to have multiple ini files for multiple configurations of Self Service Migrator runs.
