Migration & Coexistence ExperiencesMoving from Exchange and Notes
Agenda
What is Migration & Coexistence? What does Oracle provide? What are the Challenges for Coexistence? How does this work for Microsoft? How does this work for Lotus? Oracle Partners
Migration & Coexistence
Migration– “the movement of a group of people from one
country or locality to another”
Coexistence– “To live in peace with another or others despite
differences, especially as a matter of policy”
Migration Challenges
Moving Data Takes Time Email Does Not Stop Migration State is Not Fixed The Data is Critical
Plan and Prepare!
Moving Data Takes Time
Example Users: 1000 Quota: 50M Bytes Mailstore size: 50G Bytes
10Mb/second LAN > 11 hours
Email Does Not Stop
“Please refrain from sending email for 1 week”
What happens to users? What happens to customers and partners?

The Data is Critical
Migration success can be make or break– Highly visible application from the CEO down– Users don’t like you deleting things they lost long
ago…
Mapping between different systems isn’t easy– Some data will not migrate correctly
Soft Factors
Determine What to Migrate– Users– Distribution Lists– Aliases
Apply Retention Policies– Delete or archive old data
Help Desk Readiness– Training– FAQ resources– Communication
Migration: Summary
Plan Carefully Don’t Underestimate the Complexity More than just moving data

Coexistence Challenges
Problems Mail Directory Calendar
Coexistence Scenarios
Why Do We Care? Full Migration
– Everyone WILL get to new system– Mail routing in the interim– Calendar coexistence
Partial Migration– Oracle and legacy system remain in use

Calendar Coexistence
Standards aren’t there like email– iCalendar, iTIP/iMIP, CAP– Major vendors have no incentive
Limited interoperability through iCalendar– Patchy support, or UI features– Not as rich as Native Calendar
Policy Important– Education– Keep groups together

The Future of Calendar
Directory – RFC 2425– MIME for exchanging contacts
iCalendar – RFC 2445– Specification of a Calendar Object
iTip – RFC 2446– Generic exchange of objects– Realtime – Store/Forward – Message based
iMip – RFC 2447– iTip over Email
CAP– Direct calendar access protocol
Evaluation / Pilot Groups
Common to run a small trial– Difficult to rollback/step out of trial in a seamless
way due to the nature of email
Still a very good idea– Trains admins in new product– Get experience of problems– Good planning for migration

D E M O N S T R A T I O N
Microsoft Exchange
Exchange Email Coexistence
Exchange Delivery Options/Custom Recipients until migration completed
Oracle routes non-local mailboxes via MX record to Exchange
Oracle.com Oracle.com
MX: Oracle.com = 148.87.2.202
Exchange Coexistence
Directory– LDAP lookup in Outlook– Foreign User/Custom Recipient– Oracle Active Directory sync
Calendar– No magic bullet– Implement policy so people understand
limitations

Lotus Notes/Domino
Notes Email Coexistence
Notes and Oracle use Smart Host Relay for non-local users
Oracle.com Oracle.com
MX: Oracle.com = 148.87.2.202
Notes Coexistence
Directory– Use LDAP Address Books– Foreign User/Non-Notes Users
Calendar– No magic bullet– Implement policy so people understand

Migration Partners
Mail and Calendar Migration– Wingra
Domino Applications– Trilog
Wingra Notes Migrator
Automatic Provisioning– User accounts– Public distribution lists– Domain merging– Primary Internet addresses mapping
Data Migration– Mail and Folders– Appointments & Tasks– Personal Address Books
Mail Routing– Forwarding from Lotus to Oracle as users are migrated– Reply-ability preserved in Migration
Wingra Notes Migrator
Directory / Provisioning Export Directory Information from Notes Provision Oracle User AccountsPreparation Create Translation Table for Full Address Conversion Choose User to Migrate (Batches or All)Migration Extract Mail and Calendar data from Notes Server Insert Converted Mail and Calendar to Oracle Convert “Local” Notes Personal Address Books to
Outlook.
Domino Applications
Analysis– What is actually being used?– Consolidate unused Notes servers
Migration– Application migration difficult– Partner migration tools– Java and PL/SQL APIs
Domino Applications
Code rewrite is ALWAYS necessary Automate where possible
– Data Model– Forms/Views
Redevelop Business/Workflow logic
Repurpose Notes Developers by giving them a comfortable environment to develop in.
Trilog Flowbuilder Tools
Visual XSP Studio IDE for developing dynamic web page applications Migration Tool for Notes App to XSP Apps Migrates Data Model, Forms/Views, Some Business Logic
Visual Designer Visual tool for developing organizational workflows
Visual Planner Defines organizational structures using functional and
hierarchal roles Can include internal and external stakeholders
Flowbuilder tools enable Notes Developers to build Java/XML applications
Trilog Tools Target Audience
Notes Developers– Forms/Views, RAD tool, Security features, Workflow
enablement Other ‘Scripting’ Developers
– Begin with UI (HTML) templates– Point and click changes to data, add new data fields
Business Consultants– Workflow development environment – Construct standard business processes– Model organizational structures
Gartner: Microsoft hasn’t caught onto this development base
