Installing the Mail Onboarding Manager

To use the Mail Onboarding Manager tool, you must download the tool from the cloud and install it on a local computer. After your initial login and setup, the tool is associated with your Connections Cloud account. Subsequently, other administrators can log in to associate their own Connections Cloud accounts with the tool. Multiple administrators can log in to the tool at the same time.

1. Log in to the service using an account that has the admin role.
2. Click the arrow next to your photo in the dashboard and then select Downloads and Setup from the menu.
3. In the section "Software Download for IBM® Notes® Client and Other Entitled On-premises Software" click View available software, and then download the Mail Onboarding Manager.
4. Launch the installation wizard and provide the following information:
   • Destination Folder -- Install the tool on the largest hard drive on the server. The tool copies replicas of all mail NSF files to a subdirectory (notesenv) in this folder. For example, if you use the default AcctOnboardMgr as the destination folder, mail replicas are copied to the following directory:

     AcctOnboardMgr\UITool\notesenv

   • Notes.API server -- This is the URL for the REST API service for your geography:
     • North America: api.notes.na.collabserv.com
     • Europe: api.notes.ce.collabserv.com
     • Asia Pacific: api.notes.ap.collabserv.com
   • Web listening port -- This is the listening port at your site for the tool. The default is 8080.
5. Optional: If you use an HTTP proxy to connect to the Internet, complete these steps:
   1. Open the net.properties file in the AcctOnboardMgr\UITool\jvm\lib directory.
   2. Add or modify the following lines using your own information:

      java.net.useSystemProxies=true
      http.proxyHost=n.n.n.n
      http.proxyPort=nnnn
      http.nonProxyHosts=localhost|n.n.n.n
      http.proxyUser=Admin username
      http.proxyPassword=Admin password

Results

After installation is complete, the tool is listed in installed programs. The server runs as a service called IBM Mail Onboarding Manager.

There is also an IBM Auto Update Service, which updates the tool automatically. You can customize the Auto Update Service, for example, to request email reports about the updates. For more information see Customizing updates to Mail Onboarding Manager.
