Item age limit for NSF migration

By default, NSF migrator processes all items in NSF files irrespective of their age. This applies both to items converted to shortcuts, and to other items that are moved to mail files, such as items that are not eligible for migration.

You can control this behavior by specifying an age threshold, as a number of days, in two registry DWORD values, ShortcutMoveRestrictDays and NotesMoveRestrictDays. Both values are under this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \Software
  \Wow6432Node
   \KVS
    \Enterprise Vault
     \Agents

Both values are set to 0 by default, which means no threshold is set. To set thresholds, change the DWORD values to a number of days.

When ShortcutMoveRestrictDays is set to a non-zero value, NSF migrator migrates all eligible items and creates shortcuts. Initially, all the shortcuts are in the NSF file. NSF migrator does not move the shortcuts to items older than the specified number of days, from the NSF file to the mail file.

When NotesMoveRestrictDays is set to a non-zero value, other items, such as those ineligible for migration, are moved to mail files only if they are within the number of days specified. Otherwise, they remain in the NSF files.
