Hello all,
We are upgrading our Domino infrsatructure from Domino 6.5 on Windows to Domino 8.0 on Linux. We have followed upgrade/migration guide and everything went well.
However when we tried to run the Load Convert utility on the new sever to convert the mail files to Domino 8 template, we observed the following errors below on the server.
Command:
load convert -u mail*.nsf * mail8.ntf
Observed Error:
Mail Convert Failed: No database found in the specified directory that matches 'mail*.nsf’
From the error message above, it appears Linux is looking at mail*.nsf * as a single mail file instead of a collection of files in the mail folder
Again, we observed that the server cannot find most of the mail files in the notesdata\mail directory, although the files are physically there when we open the folder. See the command below and the error generated:
Command:
load convert -u mail\mailfile.nsf * mail8.ntf
Observed Error:
Mail Convert Failed: No database found in the specified directory that matches ’ mailfile.nsf ’
We also observed that a number of the mail files are corrupt according to the error message displayed on the screen.
We simulated this on Windows with exactly the configuration and all the Load Convert commands above ran successfully without errors.
Kindly assist.
Thanks in anticipation.
Austine
