Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes Installation & Administration Guide
You must have access to the source mail files and databases and must be an allowable author
of the migration profiles to use this feature. If you do not have the required level of access, the
system logs the event and moves on to the next selected profile.
Only profiles with “Draft” or “Invited” status are shown in the Notes Statistics views.
The figures in this view are meant to be used as estimates only and may not reflect the final
migration counts/size. Some reasons for this are:
•
Mail selected here may have an illegal attachment type which will be rejected at migration
time.
•
This view does not consider any folder exclusion rules.
•
Notes mail sizes are typically smaller than the size of the mail posted to Google Apps. For
example, attachments are compressed in Notes but must be decompressed and
converted to Base64 format prior to migration.
If you want to gather and/or view statistics for only one particular content type, you can do this
with the Show action. This action allows you to filter and gather statistics by individual content
types.
Note:
Each filter view shows only profiles for which the appropriate content type is enabled.
Migration Calculator
The system includes a calculator that allows you to estimate migration times and bandwidth
requirements for specific sets of users and databases. This is done by applying known
migration rates to the Notes statistics gathered above.
To use the calculator, complete the following steps:
1. Run a minimum of 10 test migrations to allow the system to derive actual migration rates.
You should run test migrations to a test domain and enable “Calendar migration test
mode” to prevent event fan-out to the production domain.
2. Register a set of users/databases for your live migrations.
3. Gather the pre-migration statistics for these users and databases.
