Site Settings
At the second level of the hierarchy, you define site settings, which include:
• Site location
• Site administrators
• Migration start date for this site
• Mail servers and the migration server for the site
• Default settings for each newly registered user/database
You must define at least one site profile before migration can begin.
For a full discussion of site settings, see “Configure Your Sites” on page 38.
Users/Databases
Below sites in the hierarchy, you have users or databases. Each user and database
corresponds to a profile.
A user/database is registered when you create a profile in the Migration Administration
database. As part of the registration process, the profile is assigned to a site.
The profile stores the configuration settings that dictate how its user or database and the
associated data are migrated to Google Apps. These settings include:
• Migration status
• Database details (the primary database and any archives)
• Target address (Gmail username or Group name)
• Migration parameters, such as cutoff dates, folder-mapping preferences, and a list of folders
to include or exclude
For a full discussion of registering users, see “Register Users and Databases” on page 50.
Deployment Options
This section provides some examples of different deployment options. In these examples, the
term site refers to a migration server and the mail servers for which it is migrating data.
