Hi,
How to migrate a (huge) Lotus Notes database to a java application container ?
Description of the business case :
To start a fresh Java application, we need to transfer the content of a huge (400.000 docs - 40 GB) database into a java application container.
the container is a blob in a MySql database, accessed via the Hibernate persistence layer …
What is the best technology to use to achieve this goal ?
? pull the data directly from the Java environment, using notes.jar, or other tools
? use .xml
? push the data from the Lotus Notes environment via Java or LotusScript agent
? use web services
? other solution
Remarks:
- The documents in the Lotus Notes db are structurated :
each document can be directly reached via fields “ID number” or “ID name”
-
The Lotus Notes database use versioning: it can complicate the process !
-
Ideally, the solution should be reuseable, in case of migration split in different steps…
Please don’t hesitate to send me any potentially useful information, especially if you had to solve such a business case …
