As discussed previously [ link ], Notes Migrator for SharePoint 5.2 has drastically improved its InfoPath capabilities. Not only do we make converting Notes documents to InfoPath documents (targeting any data schema) much easier than we did previously, we now will generate the form for you (or at least make a pretty good start at it)! Tomorrow I will be presenting a webcast on these new capabilities. You can view the schedule and register here: http://www.quest.com/events/ListDetails.aspx?ContentID=9929 . If a recording becomes available later, I will update this post. Read More...

As described in yesterday's post [ link ], the Link Tracking Service allows Notes DocLinks to be migrated as "Dynamic Links" instead of Direct Links. As users click on Dynamic Links they are automatically redirected to the current location of the target document, whether or not it has been migrated yet and regardless of whether the linked-from or link-to document was migrated first. When we describe this feature to customers, two important questions often come up: What happens if I move my content, change the external host name of my SharePoint farm, etc? Will the Link Tracking Service still send users to the right place? What happens when I am done migrating? The Link Tracking Service is cool, but am I stuck with it forever?

Many organizations now use the Notes Migrator for SharePoint Discovery Edition for analysis of Notes application environment analysis, particularly in a pre-migration scenario. Based on some recent customer/partner feedback we have improved the usage analysis portion of the tool. The following changes will be in Notes Migrator for SharePoint 5.2 Beta 3 [ link ]. 1. New properties have been added to the Usage Analysis data that NMSP gathers: · Last Usage Analysis – Date you performed the scan · Recording Activity – “Y” if user activity tracking is enabled in the database. (Warning, this is not detected during discovery but rather during usage analysis. Therefore if you do not see a “Y”, you need to look at the Last Usage Analysis date to see if the data has been gathered.) · Last Used All Replicas...

Notes Migrator for SharePoint has always had a number of capabilities for migrating the security of your Notes applications to the equivalent security constructs in SharePoint. In particular we have had two distinct "group mapping" options: Map Domino Directory Groups in your application's ACL to Domain Groups (usually AD groups) Generate SharePoint Groups (with members) from Roles in your application's ACL In both of the above cases, the tool sets the permissions correctly for the site, list, or document you are provisioning. With Notes Migrator for SharePoint 5.2, we now support a third option: Generate SharePoint Groups (with members) from Domino Directory Groups in your application's ACL In other words, as indicated in the dotted line below, we are now crossing the...

Well, it's that time again. Notes Migrator for SharePoint 5.2 is just around the corner and it is time to start talking about the new features. One of our most exciting new features is the ability to generate Microsoft Office Word 2007 (DOCX) documents from Word documents. Beta 1, due in about a week, focuses on generation of very high-fidelity rich text documents. You can generate new Word documents from scratch or start with the Word template of your choice. All this gets checked into a SharePoint document library, of course, along with whatever permissions, meta and custom fields you deem appropriate. Beta 2 will complete the picture with setting of Word document properties (including custom properties and content control values). This will be especially cool for people who like to use...
