Managing Your Migration
Chapter 3
After you have created the Administration database, configured your site, and registered your
users and databases, you are ready to begin the migration process.
Before you start migration, you should assess how much information will be migrated to
Google Apps for your users.
Gathering Pre-Migration Statistics
GAMLN provides a feature that lets you estimate how much information will migrate to Google
Apps. It may be helpful to use this feature after your users and databases are registered but
before you begin migrations. To gather pre-migration statistics:
1. Select the Statistics view from the menu.
2. Select the profiles for the users and databases you want to gather statistics for and click
Get Statistics.
GAMLN completes the following steps for all selected profiles:
• Opens the databases referred to by the profile.
• Applies any date selection criteria specified on the profile and generates counts for
documents that will be selected at migration time.
• Calculates the total amount of data in bytes that will be selected for migration. (Note: This
value excludes any mail and/or calendar entries that are excluded by date criteria).
• Gets a total figure for all mail, calendar entries, groups and contacts in these databases.
These figures do not take into account any date selection criteria applied for mail and
calendar migrations.
Notes
The process can take some time, because it needs to get the size of each document that will
be migrated.
