MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION
If you migrate Organizer information, the cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service converts information from the available OR2 files of all selected cc:Mail users. If you want to migrate Organizer information for only a subset of users in the post office, you must migrate users in multiple sessions, migrating users whose Organizer data you want to migrate in one session, and users whose Organizer data you do not want to migrate during a later session.
Organizer information is migrated to locations in the Notes mail file, Personal Journal database, and Personal Name and Address Book. Some Organizer data is not migrated; the cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service only reproduces the Organizer views and documents that have appropriate equivalents in Lotus Notes.
Note The cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service migrates data from Organizer 2.x for cc:Mail for Windows only; it does not migrate data for standalone OR2 files, Notes Calendar and Scheduling versions of OR2 files, or the Organizer PIM version (all other ORx files). Also, the cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service does not support the migration of Organizer information from a Japanese-language post office.
During the migration, Organizer creates temporary Views and internal notes in the Notes mail file, and Organizer group scheduling information from cc:Mail is temporarily propagated to the Comments field of the Lotus Notes user's Person document. After the migration completes, these items are deleted.
Errors encountered during the migration are recorded in the log file (LOG.NSF) of the computer running the Domino Administrator.
After you migrate a user's OR2 file, the user can no longer open the file in Organizer 2.x. Also, other users can no longer view the Organizer free-time schedules for migrated users or send scheduling messages to the user's Organizer Agent. However, migrated users can use e-mail to schedule and respond to invitations if you configure automatic forwarding from their old cc:Mail accounts to their new Notes mail accounts.
Determining the character set (code page) for migrating Organizer data
When migrating Organizer data, the cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service uses the character set (code page) that you specify for migrating data from the cc:Mail post office. You select the code page when specifying conversion settings in the cc:Mail Upgrade Advanced Settings dialog box.
For more information about setting the code page when migrating cc:Mail data, see the topic Specifying the code page to use for converting cc:Mail data.
Migrating multiple sections of one type
The cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service merges multiple Organizer sections of a given type into a single Lotus Notes equivalent. For example, if the user has more than one To Do section in Organizer, the cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service combines them into a single Notes To Do list. Similarly, multiple instances of Address, Anniversary, Calendar, Calls, Notepad, and Planner sections are merged into a single Lotus Notes equivalent.
Supplying a password when migrating Organizer data
Lotus Notes requires you to authenticate a process before it runs. Because the Organizer migration is a separate process, before you can complete an Organizer migration and register users, you must supply a Notes password. The cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service prompts you for a Notes password when it is ready to register the first cc:Mail user for whom you selected the option "Convert Organizer .OR2 scheduling files to Notes." You are prompted for the password only once during the session.
Users are registered in the order in which you added them to the registration queue. If there is Organizer data to migrate for those users who are at the beginning of the registration queue, the cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service prompts you for the password immediately after you click the Registration button. However, if the first block of users being registered does not include an Organizer migration, the password prompt appears later. The migration process stops until you enter the password.
