Migrator for Notes to SharePoint 7.4 - User Guide

Design Element Summary

Design Details

From the Design Element Details dialog box (click Design Details), you can view the design elements of the database organized by type.

To exclude particular design elements from the Complexity tab calculations, highlight the elements in the dialog box and click Exclude. The elements that have been flagged for exclusion will have a red ‘X’ next to them. To re-include an element, select it and click the Exclude button again. An example for needing to exclude elements is if you know you are not going to be migrating any web only design elements. Then you don’t want them part of the design complexity analysis so you would filter out all the web-only design elements. Use the Quick Filter as a quick way to Exclude multiple elements. You will need to rerun the Recompute database details for the design analysis to be updated for the database.

You can also select a Notes Form that you want migrated to an InfoPath form template. Select the Form you want migrated and click the Export to InfoPath Template button, or right-click and from the context menu select the menu item Export to InfoPath form template.

For detailed information on this process, see Generate InfoPath form template .

Measure deviations from template or similar database

This is where you can measure deviations in design between the current database and another database (typically a design template or another database that you suspect is based on a common design). Identifying similar databases can be very useful when planning your migration process. To select a template or similar database to compare to, check the box and click the Select button. The Default button will automatically find the template database based on the template name, if there is one. You can assign the reference database automatically during the Auto Triage process by setting up a Class Rule and using the fields on the Auto Triage tab.

If both databases have had a Design Scan done than you get a comparison of the two databases immediately. Or, if you press the Scan Design button, both databases will be scanned immediately.

Class Template Matching

The Class Template Match Details dialog shows all the partial matches as well as the best fit match. To associate the technical class of one of the matches to the current database, highlight the class name and click Set as Technical Class for Database.

Microsoft Design Element Index (DEI)

If the Microsoft Design Element Index is defined as a factor to use in the automatic complexity assignment as defined in the Analysis tab of the Global Options, then this section will be filled out using the published DEI algorithm.

Include estimates already credited to template or similar database

If checked, the numbers entered below should not reflect the analysis, development and testing effort that is expected for the original database template (the reference database on the Design Analysis tab).
