Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes (GAMLN) - part 1
Tags :migration Google GAMLN
Last week I did the intro, explaining the immediate request we got to perform testing in a Google Apps migration of their small Domino domain. We have now fired up a duplicate of the existing Domino server to perform the testing, making it look just like their data.
So we have the specs lined out for all of you..
- Existing server is Domino 8.0.2 on Windows 2003
- Google Apps Premier Edition is ready
- Microsoft Core XML services v6
It states that it supports Notes mail and attachments, so even with the trusted ID we needed to make sure that all the mailfiles and contents were unencrypted. I imagine we will encounter something along the way.
One thing right away that will take getting used to is that Notes folders become labels inside of Gmail. If for some strange reason you have not seen this yet, it is a simple sorting mechanism and nothing more. Users will find this to big a rather large adjustment, mainly if they have built a sophisticated nesting structure of labels.
Luckily the users really do not utilize follow-up flags yet in Notes, as those become stars in Gmail.
One thing I am interested to see is how Notes document, view and database links are translated as it promises.
