4.3.6.Mapping the source objects to the target objects

Note: The Error report and Reset errors buttons are explained in the section Migration reports.

Open the “Mappings” tab and click “Create” in the toolbar to create the desired object mapping(s).

The “Mappings” dialog features the

  • source object(s) TO BE MIGRATED on the source side, and
  • target object(s) WHERE the source objects can be migrated on the target side.
Note: One source object can be mapped only to one target, but one target object may be associated with multiple source objects. This action is called merging. If you wish to associate multiple source objects to the same target, uncheck the “Hide mapped target object” option above the grid.

Mappings may be specified either

  • manually or
  • automatically.

By manual selection select each source and target one-by-one, and map them together using the “Map selected” option.

If you wish to use automatic mapping, 1) click on the “Map automatically” button and 2) select the mapping criteria.

There are 3 auto-mapping methods available:

Match name – maps the objects based on name

Match email address – maps the source to target based on the email address included in the object properties

Match identifiers – maps the source to target based on the IDs included in the object properties (e.g. object ID, entity ID etc.)

Once the criteria are selected, click on the “Start mapping” button, and the objects will be paired automatically.

Note: If no matches have been found by the automap, the application will warn about it. In this case the user needs to map the objects manually.

Added mappings are shifted to the lower part of the Mappings dialog.

Click “OK” to add them to the grid.

Note: Mapped objects are marked with green color in the source and target grids, while unmapped objects are blue.

In next steps we will learn how to create a migration group and add our mapped mailboxes to this group.
