Moving from cc:Mail to Lotus Domino R5 Moving ... - IBM Redbooks

Converting Organizer data requires you to connect network drives to
the directories where the selected cc:Mail users store their Organizer
data.
Note We will discuss how to convert Organizer files later in this
chapter in the section titled “Migrating Organizer information.”
• Convert alias entries:
Select this option to retain cc:Mail aliases for migrated users. Aliases
for entries in the cc:Mail directory are added as entries in the User
name field of the migrated user’s Notes Person document.
• Convert bulletin boards to Notes discussion database:
Select this option to convert bulletin boards in the specified cc:Mail
post office to a Notes discussion database. All of the bulletin boards in
a given post office are migrated to a single Notes discussion database
on the mail server, called cc:Mail Migrated Bulletin Boards
(CCNOTBB.NSF). Each migrated bulletin board becomes a category
within the database.
Important Converting bulletin boards requires a considerable amount
of time and slows the process of migration. The good news is that
bulletin boards have to be migrated only once for each post office. If you
enable bulletin board conversion for multiple users or all users of a
selected cc:Mail post office, the conversion process is repeated for each
of the selected users. This way, your migration can take a long time,
especially if there are many bulletin boards or they are large in size.
We recommend that you enable this option for one user you migrate so
that the bulletin boards are converted only once. After that, do not
enable this option when you migrate the remaining users.
• Retain cc:Mail MTA routing information for deferred mailbox
migration:
You would check this option if the registration and mailbox migration
of cc:Mail users is not done at the same time. In this case, the Domino
Upgrade tools will maintain the existing cc:Mail information
(forwarding address) in the Person document of a migrated cc:Mail
user until the mailbox migration is completed.
2. Select the Conversion Settings as appropriate. We selected the settings
for our scenario as shown in the previous screen.
