Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.16.3

The default display of the Specify Data for Migration screen lets the user migrate any combination of three types of data: server mail, archives and/or personal address books (PABs). However, some administrators prefer to offer only one or two of the options. Four binary parameters in notesdtapp.ini, in the [General] section, control whether these options appear in the screen:

AppDoesArch=
AppDoesEncrypted=
AppDoesMail=
AppDoesPabs=

For each parameter, the default value 1 makes the option visible to the user on the Specify Data for Migration screen, A setting of 0 does the following:

•

Makes the option invisible (unavailable to the user) on the screen.

•

Masks the portions of the Welcome and Migration Report screens that pertain to the hidden option.

•

Disallows the migration of that data type regardless of other parameter settings in the INI file (would override MigrateXxxx=1).

If a parameter is left unspecified in the INI file, the corresponding option will appear on the screen.

These parameters do not set the marked-vs-unmarked status of the check boxes although those status settings can be controlled by other parameters (see Providing program entry values in notesdtapp.ini).


	NOTE: If AppDoesArch=0 or AppDoesMail=0, Include Encrypted Messages is not displayed even if AppDoesEncrypted=1.

For example: to migrate archives only

In the introduction to the How Do I Customize ...? section, an example was provided of an administrator who wants to migrate user server mail and address books in batches and use the Self-Service Desktop Migrator (SSDM) to migrate user archives. Since the SSDM is used to migrate archives only, the administrator wants to hide the other migration options (server mail and PABs) and streamline the user interface. To accomplish this task, set the following values in the notesdtapp.ini file:


[General] AppDoesMail=0 AppDoesPabs=0 MigrateArchives=1 [ArchiveData] MigrateTrashFolder=1	[Screens] Welcome=skip MigrateWhat=skip SelectAddrBook=skip SelectArchive=skip SelectMailFile=skip Profile=skip Mailbox=skip PstDir=skip Summary=skip Progress=skip Finished=show

These parameters configure the SSDM to run as follows:

Welcome screen: Does not appear since Welcome=skip and no user entries are requested on this screen.

Specify Data for Migration: Does not appear since MigrateWhat=skip, and AppDoesMail=0 and AppDoesPabs=0, and the program obtains necessary archive-migration orders from MigrateArchives=1 and MigrateTrashFolder=1.

Select Notes Address Books to Migrate: Does not appear since SelectAddrBook=skip and AppDoesPabs=0.

Select Notes Archive Files to Migrate: Does not appear if user archives reside in the default location (the "archive" subdirectory under the Notes data directory) since SelectArchive=Skip, and the program finds archives in their default location.

Select Notes Local Mail File Replica to Migrate: Does not appear since SelectMailFile=skip and AppDoesMail=0.

Select Profile: Does not appear if the program finds only one eligible Outlook profile on the user workstation. Otherwise, the user is prompted to designate the profile.

Specify Directory for Migrated Archive: Does not appear assuming the Outlook Default Directory is the preferred archive destination folder for each user. (If not, specify a valid path for SelectedPstDir under [General], or change PstDir=skip to PstDir=show.)

Selection Summary: Does not appear since Summary=skip and no user entries are requested.

Enter Password (for Exchange): May or may not appear, per user, depending on whether the user profile requires these credentials.

Migrating Data: Does not appear since Progress=skip and no user entries are requested.

Migration Report: Appears in every run since Finished=show.

So, omitting the skipped screens, and accepting the assumptions noted in items 4, 6, and 7, the program screen sequence consists of:

Enter Password (for Exchange): May or may not appear, per user, depending on whether the user profile requires these credentials.

Migration Report: Appears in every program run, since Finished=show.
