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.

This screen may also offer an Error Log Report button if the program encountered any errors during its run. If the Error Log Report button does appear, you should 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, (or if the Error Log Report button does not appear), click Exit to dismiss the screen and exit the wizard.

Send PAB Replicator Wizard

Introduction

Quest’s Send PAB Replicator Wizard sends a special email form to Notes users within a particular user collection, that lets them copy all of their PABs (personal address books) to a centralized Notes server directory, where the Data Migration Wizard will be able to find them and migrate them.

The PAB Replicator Wizard is always applied to a particular user collection, designated in the Send PAB Replicator screen of Notes Migration Manager, from which this Wizard is launched. Field definitions and application notes for the wizard’s screens are provided below in separate subsections, per-screen.

NOTE: The email form that this feature sends to users contains a graphical button that users can click to start the replication function. An iNotes client, however, renders the message as plain text, so the button does not appear for any iNotes users. The form tells users to Press the button below, so the loss of the graphical button in iNotes will likely confuse any iNotes users who receive the form. Most iNotes users would not need the PAB Replicator form anyway, since their address books are stored in their mail files. But if your user population contains some iNotes users and some Lotus Notes users, you may want to organize your collections so as to segregate the two groups, and send the PAB Replicator form only to the latter.

Migrator for Notes to Exchange offers a choice of six standard templates for the Replicator form, and lets you customize any of the templates to suit your own needs. The wizard also automatically signs the selected Replicator form with the digital keys associated with a specified admin (identified during the program run), to authorize running the form’s executable instructions on user workstations and on the server without triggering security alerts (or at least triggering fewer of them).

NOTE: The administrator specified on the wizard’s Notes Login screen (described below) will be identified as the sender (From) of the form, and will be the admin whose digital keys are used to sign the form. The User ID file must be the one that is on the ECL when sending PAB Replicators—not a separate, Quest-specific ID file that wouldn't be present on the ECL.
