Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.15.2 - Administration Guide

Task Progress

No information is entered into this screen. The screen simply reports the program's progress as it performs the defined task. You can click the Cancel button to cancel the task before it completes.

You can click User Status to open the User Migration Status window. This window displays detailed per-user migration status in real time during the migration. In the User Migration Status window, click Export to TSV to create a local tsv file containing the data. Click View Error Log to open the Log Viewer.

When the process is complete, the program automatically advances to its Task Completed screen to report the results.

Task Completed

No information is entered into this screen. The screen simply reports the results of the task run.

You can click User Status to open the User Migration Status window. This window displays detailed per-user migration data. In the User Migration Status window, click Export to TSV to create a local tsv file containing the data. Click View Error Log to open the Log Viewer.

NOTE: Notes stores RTF message bodies in compressed form, but in this screen Migrator for Notes to Exchange reports the volume of data migrated as uncompressed bytes, and the data is also stored uncompressed in Exchange mailboxes. The migrated data volume that Migrator for Notes to Exchange reports here, and the corresponding mailbox sizes in Exchange, are therefore likely to be somewhat larger than the data volume as reported in the Notes source, where RTF message bodies are compressed.

This screen will display an Error Log Report button if the program encountered any errors during its run. If the Error Log Report button does appear, you can click it to view the program log and assess the severity of the errors. The Error Log Report button launches Quest’s Log Viewer utility (see The Log Viewer chapter) to help you interpret and resolve the errors.

When you are finished with the Error Log Report feature (or if the button does not appear), click Exit to dismiss the screen and exit the wizard.

If the Data Migration Wizard has migrated any data to Outlook Personal Folder (.pst) files, then when the migration is complete you must either:

The Data Migration Wizard names any new .pst files using the common filename, if specified, or the specified filename format. if more than one file is generated per User ID, incremental numbers are appended to the filename. For example, Smith.pst, Smith-1.pst, Smith-2.pst, etc.

The Data Migration Wizard generates a post-migration TSV report that lists users migrated, together with per-user numbers and data volumes of items migrated, and counts of process errors and/or warnings, and a short verbal assessment of whether these statistics might warrant a closer look at particular mailboxes. The verbal assessments (OK, some warnings, and Errors, please investigate, etc.) are arbitrary, based on the numbers and rates of errors and warnings in a given mailbox, but may help call an admin's attention to particular mailboxes. The wizard saves its post-migration report in a TSV file, in the shared log folder. Each report is named to match exactly the associated log for the same Wizard run, but with a .tsv extension instead of .wlog.

SSDM Statistics Collection Wizard

Introduction

The SSDM Statistics Collection Wizard defines a task that will gather migration statistics written by the Self-Service Desktop Migrator (SSDM), and load the data into the SQL database, so you can track the progress of a migration project.

NOTE: The SSDM Statistics Collection Wizard can collect user statistics only if the Post user logs to the central directory checkbox has been marked in the Shared Directories Configuration screen in Notes Migration Manager. If that checkbox has been left unmarked, the per-desktop migration program will have written its log files to individual users' local temp directories, where they will be unavailable to the wizard.

Each time a user runs the Self-Service Desktop Migrator, the program writes its run statistics to the Directory for central log and status files, specified in the Shared Directories Configuration screen of Notes Migration Manager. This Wizard gathers those statistics and adds them to the SQL database, so they will appear in the Project View screen of Notes Migration Manager.

NOTE: Statistics reported by Migrator for Notes to Exchange are based on uncompressed data sizes provided by the Lotus/IBM APIs. The APIs extract data in compressed form and then provide the data to Migrator for Notes to Exchange in an uncompressed state. Data volumes reported by Migrator for Notes to Exchange are therefore often higher than the values observed natively in Notes or transferred over the network to the migration servers.

Field definitions and application notes for the wizard’s screens appear in separate subsections below.
