Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes (GAMLN) - part 3
Tags :migration Google GAMLN
The Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes surprisingly comes with a Domino database. This was happily shocking and surprising as I imagined all sorts of command line stuff. Now, there are partners that make many tools to migrate, but the customer wanted the built in provided tools, since they are free, of course.
The actual administration database is small, limited views and does the configuration. Logs and stats are included in the database itself. Users can be viewed by state (pending, active and complete). Logs cover such things as mail conversions, migrations and registrations. Make sure you know the Google Apps admin password as it is required in the System Setup.
There was a setting I was curious about (I think Marie Scott has the answer) on maximum mail size allowed. At first we were concerned it was the actual total mail file size itself and not an individual message. We set the end date for the migration to indefinite as there is no guarantee of completion date and I am not sure why anyone would actually put a hard date in there and then also allow it to continue past end date. Just don't set an end date.
User selection pulls from the Domino Directory via the familiar directory look-up interface. We will talk about migration options next.
