2 CIMtrek ACL Cleaner The CIMtrek ACL cleaner is part of the Notes Archiving tool set and is most often used when companies want to retain the Notes application but need to prevent or restrict access to them. This simple to use tool enables an administrator to either remove the ACL settings from selected Notes NSF files or to set the ACLs to No Access. Users need to be aware that there are a couple of basic restrictions to consider. Anyone using the tool must have full administration rights to the Domino server On completion of the process every NSF file will have a -Default- ACL and one manager ACL (which could be the -Default- ). The first time you install and use the tool you will be presented with the configuration menu. This screen enables you to select which NSF files that you do not wish to be included in the process. You can of course revisit the configuration screen at any time. After that it is just a question of checking the appropriate box and taking the "Clean ACL" option. CIMtrek ACL cleaner will generate an XML file for every NSF it encounters for the first time so that a complete audit trail exists for the changes. You also get an Excel spreadsheet showing the before and after status of each NSF file. Visit the download page to learn more.

3 CIMtrek Discovery Before beginning the task of migrating Notes based applications, it might be a good idea to get a clear understanding of what it is we need to address. The CIMtrek DNA process is designed with that in mind. The CIMtrek DNA process accesses your Domino servers and provides you with a complete list of all the NSF files you have. A good place to start is with the "Quick Discovery" option. This will provide you with an overview snapshot of all of your NSF files on the selected server showing you the: Application Title File Name Size Template Used (if any) Once that's done there is a further option to run a full DNA or look at individual NSF files by simply double click the desired NSF. As a result you will have a detailed breakdown of applications structure and content. All of which gets reported in an Excel spreadsheet: Duplications No longer used Orphans Complex structures Business Critical By analysing the output presented by CIMtrek, you can decide which applications are to be migrated, replaced or discarded. The following screen shot shows a partial view of what you see - for a more detailed look visit the download page or click DNA to read the white paper.

5 CIMtrek Archiver CIMtrek's archiving solution was developed to meet the need to systematically extract data (attachments, RTF s, images, etc) from any number of Notes Databases and make them available to view without having an application to maintain (i.e. neither a web interface), and at the same time mirroring the structure of the Notes application & document database. The tool enables the user to: Select the Notes NSF file to archive Followed by the main view used to form the folder structure Finally the view columns to use This structure is then used to re-cast the applications views and columns as windows desktop folders as shown in this simple Document Library example. The end folder will contain an HTML or ASPX presentation of the original form and any rich text fields and attachments. The output can be a desktop folder solution or an Office365 SharePoint deployment. There is also a pre-parser option to select all Notes NSF files that contain OLE documents. An additional archiving option entails CIMtrek removing any buttons on forms that might result in updating data - in this scenario we remove all buttons, formula, business logic etc. and the application becomes, effectively, a read only solution.

6 CIMtrek SharePoint Migration The CIMtrek Notes to SharePoint migration tool is an integral part of the CIMtrek suite of products which means that it shares a lot of the look and feel and approach to other CIMtrek products. Key Benefits derived from the CIMtrek Notes Migrator to SharePoint include: Easy Mapping of SharePoint Target Environment/Server Can connect directly to your SharePoint environment from the migration tool or to a remote SharePoint environment including O365 Create Site Collection for your target deployment directly from within the tool if required Creates SharePoint lists and/or Document Libraries Flexible Migration Processes Full Migration Design + Data Design Elements Only Data Elements Only For Incremental migrations to update data. Also useful for high-volume data scenarios where migration is carried out. One-Click migration in a few minutes Migration Results show detailed status and errors if any (makes remedial work easier). Final deployed site link displayed on completion of process. Simply click SharePoint site link and progress to migrated SharePoint site. CIMtrek Notes migrator to SharePoint supports migration/deployment to: SharePoint 2013/2016 SharePoint On-line The CIMtrek migration parameters as shown below:

7 CIMtrek J2EE and.net options The CIMtrek tool to Migrate to a Java (J2EE) platform or IIS.NET is exactly the same and makes no difference to the process you go through, however the generated end applications are different as you would expect. Regardless of desired platform, CIMTrek software delivers a true N-Tier application that is Restful web service following MVC patterns as much as is practically possible. Your Java or.net application comprises the following logical components as the base layer: - Data Access Layer: this includes data access logic and database connection handling with a relational database; An object data model and is mapped to the relational database tables / fields; Business/Application Logic: responsible for handling all the Notes application logic and data communication to the client via HTTP request / response protocol. Authentication & Securities: this is used to handle user authentication/securities.

8 The components have been written and designed in the manner that they can run on a web server as well as an application server. Nothing is required for the back end. The outcome of the J2EE process is a deployable.war file. For ASP.NET it is a Microsoft project file. CIMtrek uniquely allows you to deploy and execute the applications in the most appropriate environment and platform from full on premise to total cloud or a hybrid of the two options. There is no ongoing requirement for any CIMtrek software that required support going forward. CIMtrek Data Pump One very powerful component of the CIMtrek suite is the Data Pump. The Data Pump provides you with the ability, at the touch of a button, to extract data, metadata and attachments from Notes databases (.NSF files). The Data Pump is an integral part of the migration process but can be purchased as a stand-alone tool. Three options are available: 1. Generate and populate an SQL database. 2. Generate a set of XML files for each Notes document to enable users to populate new applications without losing data or context 3. Extraction of Notes attachments for storage in your preferred document repository The following screen shot shows the results of building a SQLExpress database.
