  • How to migrate to SharePoint Wiki pages

    Notes Migrator for SharePoint has allowed for migration to SharePoint wiki pages for over a year now. Wiki pages were of mild interest in SharePoint 2007, but as described in my last post [ link ] they have evolved into an awesome target choice in SharePoint 2010. For example, you may have noticed that the Site Pages library in many of the new 2010 site templates is now a Wiki library. The following steps recap the basic steps and some of the advanced options for migrating Notes documents to Wiki pages. These steps apply equally well for SharePoint 2007 or SharePoint 2010 (but SharePoint 2010 requires the use of Notes Migrator for SharePoint 5.3.1 or higher). Basic Steps If using the Designer client, select a source Notes database, QuickPlace or QuickR room, or Domino.Doc library and then select...

  • All Database View/Report Columns

    With each new release of Notes Migrator for SharePoint , we add new functionality and this usually means new database properties that you can view in the Migration Console. For example, our new “Blocked / Oversized File Detection” feature gives you four new columns that you can add to any database view or report: With version 5.3, we are now up to 172 columns that you can display for each Notes database in your environment. These columns are set in a variety of ways: Discovery Data Analysis Design Analysis Usage Analysis Automatic Classification Automation via Class Rules Manual Triage Performing Migrations While we document all the available database columns in the appendices of our User Guide, it still can be difficult to understand what columns are available to solve a particular problem...

  • Detailed Permission Requirements

    Customers have often asked us to do a better job documenting the permission required for operation various Notes Migrator for SharePoint components. With version 5.3, we documented this in a little more detail than previously… The person installing our tool needs: Administrator access on front-end server dbcreator server role in SQL Server instance (if creating a Link Tracking database) The person running our tool needs: Access to SharePoint targets sufficient to perform desired migration tasks (provisioning sites, adding users, provisioning lists, updating list schema, writing records) Full control access on Shared Files folder (if configured) Notes ID that can access Domino servers and read content from source databases NMSP Import Service account (application Pool identity in IIS) needs...

  • Extracting all the users from a set of databases

    The new Extract Database Users tool in Notes Migrator for SharePoint 5.3 allows you to select one or more databases in any database view in the Migration Console and then extract all the user names contained in those databases. This tool is useful for simply gaining an understanding of the users involved in a group of Notes applications, but the primary purpose of the tool is ultimately to generate a user mapping file that NMSP can use at migration time. Depending on how much analysis has been done for these selected databases, we may extract user names from the database ACLs, the Created By/Modified By metadata, the document level security, or the usage activity. As explained below, users may also be added to the list by expanding Domino groups and by importing existing NMSP User Mapping XML...

  • What’s new in Security Mapping in version 5.3?

    Security mapping has always been one of the strongest parts of Notes Migrator for SharePoint and a great differentiator for us. Someone who is familiar with our rich capabilities in this area will probably be surprised to see how many things we found to add to the list in this release. The good part is that while we nearly doubled the capabilities here, we think we actually improved the usability at the same time. Most people should be able to get by with a few easy-to-understand checkboxes and only a few will need to go into the Advanced areas. But for those that need it, they will have more power than ever! 1. First some cosmetic changes. We organized our increasingly confusing array of security mapping checkboxes into dialog groups and have renamed them to be clearer. Hopefully this will...

  • Notes Migrator for SharePoint 5.3 feature list

    Not too many big splashy features this time. We intentionally took one release (about half the length of our 5.2 release) to round out the current feature set, improve the underlying plumbing, and fulfill a number of smaller customer/partner requests. Some improvements have been inspired by our experience with Microsoft SharePoint Online and other hosting partners. Hopefully, there will be something in there for everyone. In no particular order, here are the new and improved features: Detect blocked / oversized files at analysis time. In the Advanced Configuration Options, the maximum allowed attachment size and the list of disallowed file extensions can be defined. These settings will be used at Analysis time to report on which databases have blocked files. They will also be used at migration...
