OLAB2GW - http://www.slewis.org/software/ - Used to convert CSV files to GroupWise Address Bookhttp://www.slewis.org/software/ 3. CVLOOK - http://www.slewis.org/software/ - Used to convert CXV files to GroupWise appointmentshttp://www.slewis.org/software/
71
© March 17, 2004 Novell Inc. 71 Converting the Un-Migratable The following environment was established on one “conversion” Workstation. 1. Map a drive letter to server volume - V:\V:\ 2. Create three subdirectories V:\ARCHIVE V:\PST V:\CSV 3. Under the V:\ARCHIVE and V:\CSV directories, create one directory for each user.V:\ARCHIVEV:\CSV
72
