14 Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes Installation & Administration Guide
• Feeder Database Agents.
• Migrate runs in each Feeder database to carry out the data migration for each user or
database that has been registered and activated in the Administration database. This
agent runs every 30 minutes.
The following diagram illustrates how the components work together.
During migration, a crawler in the Feeder database scans each mail file / database to extract
the content to be migrated. Mail being migrated to a Google account and content destined for
a Google Group are stored temporarily in the Feeder and transformed to XML/JSON before
being posted to the Google servers. Contact and calendar details are delivered directly to
Google Apps.
The system creates migration status views in each mail file / database so users can monitor
the migration process.

Notes data to Google Apps.
