Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.15.2 - Program Parameters Reference Guide

How to specify or edit program parameters

Global Defaults, Task Parameters, and the parameters within notesdtapp.ini are all edited the same way, as if all three sets of parameters were stored in INI files. The features that let you edit Global Defaults and Task Parameters actually copy the current parameter settings from the SQL Server database into a text document in Windows' Notepad, so you can use Notepad's text-editing features to change parameter values or add new parameter specifications.

Since notesdtapp.ini is an actual INI text file, you can use Notepad or any other text editor to open the file and edit its contents.

To edit Global Defaults

Within Notes Migration Manager:

1
Select File | Global Default Settings.
The program then opens the Global Default Settings into Windows Notepad. Within Notepad, the settings look like the contents of an INI file, but they are actually saved as a part of the SQL Server database rather than as an independent INI file.
2
Find the pertinent [SectionName] for the parameter whose value you want to specify or edit.
 
* 
CAUTION: Some parameters in different sections share the same keyname, so it is very important that parameter values be entered and edited in the correct sections.
3
Add the parameter or edit its value, as appropriate.
4
Repeat steps 2 and 3 as often as necessary to make as many additions and changes to the parameters as needed.
5
Close Notepad.
Notes Migration Manager will then copy the new parameter value(s) back into the SQL Server database.

To edit Task Parameters

In Notes Migration Manager, on the View menu, make sure the Advanced Settings option is checkmarked. (Click on that option if it does not appear checkmarked.) This is a toggle setting that determines whether the wizards will let you open and edit Task Parameters. If the feature is enabled, an extra screen titled “Customize Configuration” will appear in the screen sequences for Wizards that can be controlled by Task Parameters.

From the Customize Configuration screen (in any Wizard that offers it):

1
Click the Edit button.
The Wizard then opens the task's configuration settings into Windows Notepad. Within Notepad, the settings look like the contents of an INI file, but they are actually saved as a part of the SQL Server database rather than as an independent INI file.
2
Find the pertinent [SectionName] for the parameter whose value you want to specify or edit.
 
* 
CAUTION: Some parameters in different sections share the same keyname, so it is very important that parameter values be entered and edited in the correct sections.
3
Add the parameter or edit its value, as appropriate.
4
Repeat steps 2 and 3 as often as necessary to make as many additions and changes to the parameters as needed.
5
Close Notepad.
6
Notes Migration Manager will then copy the new parameter value(s) back into the SQL Server database.

To edit parameters in notesdtapp.ini

To edit parameters in notesdtapp.ini

The parameters for the Self-Service Desktop Migrator are saved and may be edited in an INI text file, notesdtapp.ini, which resides in the same path with the Self-Service Desktop Migrator application. Since an INI file is a simple text file, you can use any text editor to open, view, and edit the file.

To edit notesdtapp.ini:

1
Use Notepad or some other text editor to open the file.
2
Find the pertinent [SectionName] for the parameter whose value you want to specify or edit.
 
* 
CAUTION: Some parameters in different sections share the same keyname, so it is very important that parameter values be entered and edited in the correct sections.
3
Add the parameter or edit its value, as appropriate.
4
Repeat steps 2 and 3 as often as necessary to make as many additions and changes to the parameters as needed.
5
Save the changed file and close the text editor.
