Deploying the Sandbox Redirector page

To determine if this optional component is required, see Link Tracking . Prior to deployment, the solution file must be copied from the Migrator for Notes to SharePoint distribution package to a local folder. For the Sandbox Link Redirector page, the file to copy is ‘Quest.SandboxLinkRedirector.wsp’.

To deploy using the Site Collections Solution Gallery

Select Site Settings | Solutions.

Click Upload Solution and locate the Quest.SandboxLinkRedirector.wsp file. Click OK.

Select the file and click Activate.

When you activate a solution, site-collection-scoped features are automatically activated as well. The Solution Gallery lists the solution name and modified date as well as its activated status and the resources consumed by the solution. You can delete a solution from the gallery only after you have deactivated it. If you want to copy a solution from one site collection to another, save the .wsp file to disk and upload it to another Solution Gallery.

Installing on separate "Import" and "Export" computers

Since a single computer configuration is not always feasible, you also have the option of installing the Migrator for Notes to SharePoint client twice (once on a computer that has access to your Notes environment and once on a computer that has access to your SharePoint environment) and using intermediate files for transferring data between the two computers.

Migrator for Notes to SharePoint clients can be installed on a system that does not have network access to SharePoint. In this event, certain functions (such as the ability to browse the available SharePoint Sites and Lists) will be disabled. This does not impair the ability to interact with Lotus Notes or export Lotus Notes data.

Migrator for Notes to SharePoint clients can also be installed on a system that does not have Lotus Notes installed. In this event, certain functions (such as the ability to browse the available Notes databases and views) will be disabled. This does not impair the ability to interact with SharePoint or import SharePoint data.

Finally, Migrator for Notes to SharePoint Designer and Command Line clients have the ability to save data to (or load data from) an intermediate XML file. This option is available when you click Run Job.

The intention of the above features is to enable the following scenario:

Computer A:

Install Migrator for Notes to SharePoint on a computer that has a Notes client (remember that you can still connect to other Domino servers in your organization).

Define your complete data transfer job (Source Definitions, Target Definitions, and Mappings) or load an existing job in the Designer client.

Click Save Job to save the Job Definition.

Click Run Job and save the results to an intermediate XML file.

Computer B:

Install Migrator for Notes to SharePoint on your target SharePoint server.

Click Load Job in the Designer client to save the Job Definition you saved in step #3.
