64-bit Notes Client

When migrating to or from HCL Notes/Domino or NSF files, we recommend installing a 32-bit Notes client on the migration machine.

If the migration machine has a 64-bit Notes client installed and you are using Transend Migration Console (TMC) v2.x or earlier, follow the steps below to configure TMC for use with the 64-bit Notes client.

Note: The following steps apply only to Transend Migration Console v2.x and earlier. TMC v3.x and later automatically detects the installed Notes client bitness and applies the appropriate configuration; no manual adjustment is required.

Enable migration support with a 64-bit Notes client:

  1. On the Configuration Settings > Optional screen, select the Advanced Options tab at the top.

  2. Check the “I know what I’m doing! Edit Advanced Options” checkbox.

    Alt text

  3. Scroll down to the bottom right of the screen to Custom Options.

  4. Enter /NOTES64 into the Custom Options field.

    Alt text

  5. Click Continue at the top right of the screen.

You have now enabled support with a 64-bit Notes Client.

If /NOTES64 is enabled as described above, and a 64-bit Notes client is detected during migration, the following Warning message will display in the migration log file:

If /NOTES64 is enabled as described above, but a 64-bit Notes client is not detected, the following Warning message will display in the migration log file:
