Redbook Abstract
Moving from Novell GroupWise to Lotus Domino R5, SG24-5650-00
  Abstract
This redbook describes how to move from an environment based on Novell GroupWise 4.1.a and 5.5 to an environment based on Lotus Domino R5. The first chapter introduces the objective and the scope of the redbook. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the Novell GroupWise and Lotus Domino environments. Chapter 3 discusses how to use SMTP to set up connectivity between Novell GroupWise and Domino. First, the requirements for the GroupWise Internet Agent are covered, followed by a description of the installation and customization process. After that, details are given on the configuration of Domino R5 for SMTP message transmission. Finally, the chapter shows how to use SMTP in the GroupWise and Domino environments. Chapter 4 documents how to interconnect GroupWise and Domino using the TFS Gateway offered by TenFour, Inc. This includes topics such as planning and designing, installation and setup, and operating the gateway. This redbook documents a third-party product for coexistence. By including the product in this book, IBM/Lotus does not solely endorse this product for use in this type of environment. Other third-party products may be available that perform similar or equivalent functions. Chapter 5 explores aspects relating to the migration of GroupWise 4.1.a users and their data to Domino R5 using the administrator-based Domino Upgrade Services that come with Domino R5. First, it describes how to plan for the migration. Then, it discusses how to install Domino Upgrade Services, followed by details on the registration and migration process. At the end of the chapter, samples of the migrated data are shown. Chapter 6 covers the migration of archived mail based on GroupWise 4.1.a to Domino R5 using the MailPort for GroupWise4 migration tool. This includes topics such as planning, setting up the tool, and migrating the archived data. Chapter 7 demonstrates the migration of GroupWise 5.5 users and their data to Domino R5 using the administrator-based Domino Upgrade Services that come with Domino R5. This chapter follows the same structure as in Chapter 5. Chapter 8 provides details on the GroupWise5 client migration tool. It is part of Domino R5, and enables the user to migrate their own data from GroupWise to Domino. The chapter explains how to install the tool, how the administrator can then register the users in Domino with Domino Upgrade Services, and lists the steps required by both the administrator and the user to migrate the data. Finally, examples of the migrated data are given. This redbook was written for customers, IBM and Lotus business partners, and the IBM and Lotus community, who are involved in migrating Novell GroupWise customers to Lotus Domino R5.
