I’ve already read a lot of articles in this forum (also 6/7 forum) but I found no solution yet.Migration from Outlook to Notes using nupgrade.exe (nupgrade 3).
Source: Windows XP and Outlook (mostly 2003), local pst-files.
Destination: Windows XP and Notes 8.02.
No big problems during migration, but sometimes there was mail imported twice - doubled folder etc, so you could delete them easy.
The problem what remains is:
Calendar
In the view “All calendar entries” you see the entries. Switching to other calendar views they are invisible.
Mails including attachments
Imported mails with attachments are there, but the user cannot access the attachment. In most case, you can see/save the attachment by choosing “Forward mail”. Some clients can’t even use this workaround.
Any ideas to make the attachments visible (running a self-made update-agent in the mailfile or something else)?
Any idea why the calendar entries are not shown in usable views?
(BTW: Migration is already done, please no comment about “binarytree” etc.)
Your calendar entries are not showing up in the Calendar views either because they don’t match those views’ selection formulas, or because they do match but aren’t appearing where you expect.
Places to look to fix this:
Field values in Document properties. (Compare an imported Calendar Entry with a newly created one)
Selection formulas in the problem views.
Basically, you most likely need to find one or more fields that don’t get set properly by the conversion and then write an agent to set these based on whatever information is at hand.
The attachment problem might have a bunch of causes, but I would suspect that the issue is to do with how the original messages were formatted in Outlook. It’s possible that the attachments are appearing in a different MIME part to the one Notes expects.
Look to see if the problem messages have any $File attachments, and to see how the MIME parts of the message are represented in the stored Body field(s). If the attachment data exists somewhere in the Notes document you may be able to have an agent walk through the Notes items to locate it and then convert it to the right format. Often this kind of approach requires temporarily detaching files to the OS and then reattaching them to the message.
