Migrator for Notes 20.14.2 - User Guide

Binary Tree Directory Sync Pro for Notes can be used to synchronize email data fields from Domino to Active Directory to facilitate mail-enabling existing Active Directory accounts. This removes the need for migrating the legacyExchangeDN and setting alternate SMTP email addressing.

The Migrator for Notes application provides for the automatic updating of Exchange mailbox access permissions. Once these are provisioned, it will allow for the Outlook migration IDs to be able to write data during the migration.

Example of Round Robin: If you have 10 Exchange mailbox databases and you are provisioning 20 users, User1 is assigned to Exchange mailbox database 1, User2 to database 2, and so on. When it reaches the last database, it assigns the next user to Exchange mailbox database 1.

Before end user mail file migration takes place, you need to ensure that the Notes users have matching accounts on the Exchange server using the Settings configuration for User Provisioning. This process helps in checking if the username that is being migrated has an existing account in the new Exchange environment. However, matching usernames is not required if you are migrating to a .pst file.

Option

Description

Send Migration Message to Selected User(s)

Allows you to send an email notification using predefined or customized message templates to selected users.

Insert Migration Message into Selected User(s) Inbox

Allows you to simply insert a migration message into a user’s inbox. The Insert Migration Message option is used when mail cannot be delivered to the user's Notes inbox. This option is also used if the user has already been migrated and their mail is now being delivered to Outlook, but post-migration, they need to sync contacts or to copy archives that were missed before the migration. In these cases, messages are delivered to Outlook rather than Notes but don’t work. Running this agent drops the selected migration messages directly into the Notes inbox rather than mailing it.

Send Rules Email to Selected User(s)

Allows you to send Rules Email to Selected Users.

Send Encrypted Summary Email to Selected User(s)

Allows you to send a summary of all the encrypted items in an email to selected users.

Fix Contacts & Group Members

Allows you to look for personal contacts whose mail address format is NOT SMTP (usually accounts imported from the Domino Directory).  It will search the Domino Directory for a matching Person document, and if found, replace the mail address with the internet address from Domino. Likewise, it will convert personal group members from Notes Name format to SMTP for members that can be matched in the Domino Directory.

Double-byte characters of Display Names are not processed correctly when converting to the Notes Canonical Name if Fix Contacts & Groups Members has not been run prior to migration.

This action will modify the source mail file data so a backup of the users’ email files should be verified prior to processing these updates.

Additionally, this action can be processed in advance of user accounts being set for migration under the Migration | 1.Set Migration Profile step but end users are likely to make changes while still using Notes so these actions should be performed immediately prior to migration.

Processing performed by the action will be logged in a text file on the Migration Controller Server in a sub folder of the Log Folder specified on the Settings | User Provisioning tab.

Fix Folders

Allows you to fix folders appending a “-Migrated” to the end of any non-system created folder that has a reserved system name (ex: Inbox, Drafts, etc). While HCL Lotus Notes will allow these folders to be created, Exchange will not.

Fix Chat

Allows you to fix HTML formatting in Sametime Chat transcripts stored in the user’s mail file. This will perform a search of the mail file for Sametime Chat documents and will then edit and save the document in the Notes user interface.

Note: This does not need to be run if the user does not save Sametime Chat transcripts, the Settings are configured for Rich Text, or if the chat documents are migrating with correct HTML formatting.

Maintain Transitional Calendar Workflow

Allows you to populate BTCache.nsf recurrence pattern information for repeat meetings to ensure that calendar workflow functions as intended regardless of the migration status of the chairperson and invitees. This assumes that Notes Integration is fully configured. When this option is run, the number of errors, start and completion status, and messages that could not be found in the destination database are listed in the MTCW Error Report section of the person document.

A user will be hidden in the Migrate view when the Mark Complete button is clicked. Mark Complete should only be used if an account was previously migrated. To reveal this user again in the Migrate view, navigate to the Import Users view, search in the Data Pane and select the user, then click Unhide Entry.
