Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes (GAMLN) - part 9
Tags :GAMLN migration Google Apps
We left off the Google Apps Migration path from Lotus Notes for the client a while ago entering the Advanced tab information. Let's quickly walk through some portions and descriptions of these choices.
- The integrity checker at the top runs the agent to verify there is no save conflicts (and replication in a distributed setup).
- we left the token refresh to 23 hours which is just below the Google time reset of 24 hours. After reading their comment about possibly locking out accounts that request new tokens too often, we decided to leave it as far out as we can.
- Humorously, we always strive to keep individual message sizes shrunk down, this forces the issue with a maximum size of 25MB per message, including attachments. Any message over the Google max is not migrated. You can reduce this size down to strip larger attachments and force users to place them in other places. We found this works well to make users filter and use things like Quickr.
- The length of Google labels frustrated users with tons of nested folders with long titles. Google strips them down to the maximum of 40 characters no matter what. So this is a UI issue in need of training. You can fix this before migration by having users shrink and change folder name lengths. But, that in itself will most likely never happen for everyone.
- Additional mail forms is not an issue for this migration but can be for many. If you have built or installed third party products that added extra mail forms to your user mailfiles, you can migrate them with specific criteria. So the good news is some of the basic workflow can be moved that is inside the mailfile but not part of the standard Notes template. The bad news is the lack of the total workflow that can be moved.
- We did not need to mess or add custom site level settings at all.
As the bottom part says, we had no need to change any of the settings. It would be nice if they hid those unless you clicked some action to prevent mistakes or accidental typing.
