Migration from FDF Toolkit to LiveCycle

Hello,
I currently have a client who uses the FDF Toolkit to create FDF files to populate PDF forms from a database. They are using a very old version of Adobe Acrobat Pro and would like to move forward. From what I understand, LiveCycle is the recommended solution, however, I have been unable to clearly understand the migration path. Do I want to go with XFA or XML or ? Is there an example that I can take a look at? Are there any specific dll's that I will need? Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

I have a more specific request that I hope someone can help me with. We currently use the
FDFACX.dll to communicate with a PDF document. I believe that this is part of the FDF toolkit. Has support been dropped for this component? If so, how can I access a PDF document to programatically read the field names from within the document? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

WebService migration from Websphere to Adobe LiveCycle ES 2.5

Hi,
I want to migrate the WebService from existing Websphere server to the LiveCycle ES 2.5
Requirement is that I need to make sure that client application will require least number of changes. In other words, I should be able to recreate the webservice in LiveCycle ES 2.5 using the WSDL of the existing webservice (that is deployed in WebSphere). But whenever I create a process in workbench it creates a WSDL automatically (it creates webservice endpoint) for that process. In that case I am unable to use my older WSDL (the one which is being used in websphere app). Is there any way that I can use an existing WSDL in LiveCycle ES 2.5 and create a webservice in ES 2.5?
If I try to use the WebService component of Foundation pack of LiveCycle ES then that won't work in my case because I am not calling any webservice from LiveCycle ES 2.5. Infact I am migrating an external or existing webservice into the LiveCycle without any major change in the WSDL and the client app.
I have couple of approaches in mind but want to know what is the right, easier and cleaner way to do. Please advise!!
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure I completely understand the question. Is the existing webshere based web service a LiveCycle service? If so then the service should have very few changes when you move it to LiveCycle running on a different application server.
Yes, web service end points are automatically created for LiveCycle services by the LiveCycle software. The contents are based on the applicaton setup, input/output variables, type of process (short or long lived) and a few other factors. It is not controllable by the developer.
The web service component in Foundation is for consuming web services as part of a LiveCycle process. It doesn't control the web service end point.

Populating a PDF: still use FDF toolkit or is there a better option?

I have had an Access app with some VBA in it that would generate an FDF and merge it into the PDF. It runs on Windows machines and is only for 2 users. There is no other functionality required. Just populate some fields in a PDF and then load the PDF using Reader for view and print. My problem is that it is no longer working. I have a new install of Windows 7 64-bit and I cannot for the life of me get the FDF reference or libraries to register or load. I've tried every combination of regsvr32 I can think of and I still get the error that the library cannot be found. It is on a network drive, then I moved it local to Windows\system32, etc... It will not load. So my code looks like this:
Dim fdfApp As FDFACXLib.fdfApp, fdfout As FDFACXLib.FdfDoc
    Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset, sql As String
    Dim RetVal, outfile As String
        Set fdfApp = CreateObject("FdfApp.FdfApp")
        Set fdfout = fdfApp.FDFCreate
        fdfout.FDFSetValue "Owner Type", "Individual", False
        fdfout.FDFSetValue "Primary owner", Me.LAST_NAME & ", " & Me.FIRST_NAME, False
        fdfout.FDFSetValue "Co-owner name", Me.CO_LAST_NAME & ", " & Me.CO_FIRST_NAME, False
etc...
When it gets to CreateObject it fails with "ActiveX Component cannot create object." This is due to fdfacx.dll not being registered correctly. When I try to register it I get "The module fdfacx.dll failed to load.. the specified module could not be found."
So my questions are:
1-- Should I still be using FDFtoolkit for this?
2-- Is there a newer version that works with Windows 7? The one I have is circa 2004 and has two files fdfacx.dll and fdftk.dll. I have tried to find a newer one without success.
3-- What am I missing about getting it to register? I've downloaded a new one and overwritten it just to be sure it isn't corrupted.
Thanks!

Hi... I have a similar situation where we use the FDF toolkit to populate PDF documents programatically. I am a bit confused as to your mentioning that support for FDF has been dropped. Please check out the following link which seems to imply that Interapplication Communications using what appears to be an identical interface is supported by Acrobat 9.1.
Interapplication Communication API Reference for Acrobat 9
Is this API now part of the LiveCycle Forms Server product? Can this API provide me with an upgrade path with minimal software changes? Is there any documentation available for migrating from FDF to LiveCycle?
Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

FDF Toolkit and pdf conversion

yes, this is a newbie question...sorry if the answer is obvious.
I am trying to design a form solution for my employer, and through some investigation have been given access to, and downloaded the FDF toolkit for Java from Adobe.
The good news is the samples in the toolkit all work!
The bad news is that I can't seem to create any new forms and get them to work. I also can't open, or import the sample form pdfs from the toolkit into Designer 7, save them, and have them work.
I didn't want to disturb the Java-side components as they are functional. So, using a pdf from the toolkit I created my own form pdf with all the same fields, and the same Names in the Binding sections using Designer 7. I put that form on the server in place of the toolkit version, and tried the demo. My form pdf arrived, but the fields are not filled in. I've traced the network between my client and the server, and the server is giving me the same fdf data.
Questions:
1. Is there something I need to do to make the fdf deliverd by the java servlet compatible with the desinger 7 form?
2. Is there something wrong with my approach?
3. I'm using the Adobe Designer 7 Tryout, which reports "Version 7,0,041126, 0. Should this work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

>I want to produce pdf v1.4 form files and am struggling tofind out how to make Designer save in this format.... should I not be using Designer ?
Absolutely, definitely not.
>I need pdf forms as version 1.4 because the form field reading software we are using won't support anything higher
Your form reading software won't understand the entirely new and
differrent Designer forms format.
You should be using Acrobat Professional to create the forms, and
Advanced > PDF Optimizer to save back to PDF 1.4 format.

Very difficult migration from MS Access to Oracle with SQL Developer

Dear Developers
I have tried to used for one Project Oracle Sql Developer Migration from Access to Oracle (Application Express). Was about an evaluation if Oracle Express (with Application Express) or Mysql (with PHP) as target database.
I am working with Oracle for 14 years and i earn my money in projects related with Oracle. Of course i am sentimental and i push every time when an opportunity comes to have as an option Oracle.
This time beside my sentimental approach the decision was different.
I will tell you why and i hope that someone there will listen and make something for a better Product.
I was trying yesterday the whole day to migrate an Microsoft Access database. A nightmare....
1. Microsoft Access Exporter 2000 was too slow. For a 25 MB Access database, running time was 15 Minutes. And 15 minutes to obtain an undocumented error. I followed your instruction and eliminate all references etc... as you described in HELP. a lot of time necessary to read and do..... After that i obtained an Error #..16. Sorry that i don't provide you with an exact number error. i don't have it right know and personally i am not interested anymore. For this error i don't find nothing in forums about it.... Search again and again..... Every time after waiting 15 Minutes in which you don't know exactly what application does or if really does something. I decided to delete sequentially macros, modules, forms, querys from Access database and see where Exporter stops... Time and time lost for trying and searching.... Finally i obtained my XML file only by keeping my Access tables. The file was produced even if i obtained at the end Error #5:..... Because was an error i am not really sure if the file was completly consistent with my database.
2. I followed the next steps and with some errors (enabling, disabling constraints, objects couldn't be created because of different reasons) i had my Model and Oracle Schema. I have tried to export the data from Access and import it in Oracle. data exported was in UTF8 and SQL Loader Control file doesn't have
LOAD DATA
character set utf8
So i tried to add the string "character set utf8" in my dozens of CTL files - with a freeware of course.....
Maybe you can say that if i knew that from the beginning i would have set my character set in SQL Developer. I don't know and i will not ever try with this product!
So finally after hours of working and trying and playing with my nerves, reading a lot of forums and documentation, i had an Oracle schema, maybe incomplete because of different errors at so much migration stages.
And now i have tried for the first time in my life MySQL Migration Toolkit. I read that for migration to MYSQL this tool is what i needed.
I recommend you to try the product and see something about the quality required for a piece of software. Is not enough if your product runs OK with Nortwind DEMO Access database. It should run OK with all ACCESS databases.
With the tool i have done the job in 5 MINUTES. Simple, efficiently and without errors. At the end i had the SQL Scripts and the DATA imported in the database.
Difficult to say something now. I am sentimental but i asked mysef if you can do something to improve the quality of the product.
What arguments can we provide for a client in Migration from Access to Oracle ???? Can you honestly answer at that?
Please try this MYSQL Migration Toolkit.....Maybe this give you some ideas about simple tasks and about what we really need...
Best regards
Adrian

Dear Barry and Kgronau
Thank you very much for your response. My Post was after a long day of trying to import an MDB file.
Maybe you can understand why i was so angry...
Yes i understand that your tool try to do more than other even if actually you don't really convert too much.
From Modules to make some procedures where the whole code is commented! .....
For other MDB which i tried to import in APEX the forms where really not usable. Queries are full of errors requires most of the time manual corrections.
I am sorry that i can not provide you with this MDB which cause these problems.
Data and software doesn't belong to me and the company which own it can not provide to you.
What i hope from your product is, even when errors come, to show a better error explanation. At what object in Access error ocures ? This is very important because i can correct my MDB or just delete the module,form,query in cause if SQL Developer doesn't like it....
Just showing an error Error #.... doesn't help me too much. And if an error occurs i don't know if program continues to work or is dead. No information about this. Maybe you can show that your application is alive and does something (working status etc...) ! Anyway we wait long minutes in front of dead screen....
Again, thank you very much for your attention

Migration from Documentum to OCM

Hi
Anyone has some document or guide, can be overall document or especific, regarding migration from Documentum platform to OCM?
There is this possibility in a huge client.
Best Regards
Luis

It's probably worth contacting Oracle Consulting and asking about the internal Content DB migration toolkit.
This toolkit is currently available only internally (due to support requirements) - and is driven by pushing data from source systems in to a documented schema/structure contained in the Oracle database.
We have a tool which in-turn will process the data found in the various tables of the schema, and will respond by creating the necessary objects in the Content DB instance.
cheers

Migrating from CM SDK to Content Services

Hi,
I believe that content services is "built on" CM SDK.
Would it therefore be possible to migrate from an instance of CM SDK to Content Services? Are there any tools available to do this?
I think it would be possible to write an integration toolkit (of sorts) with the web services API but I'd rather see if there was anything available already!
Thanks,
Phill

We have no out-of-box tool at this stage to achieve this. As you can appreciate, CM SDK is that flexibile pretty much any application imaginable could be created leveraging all types of internal CM SDK structures (custom class objects, propertybundles, background agents, server-side overrides etc)
Content DB / Content Services abstract all of the low-level CM SDK structures away and introduces new FDK application structures such as Category, Workspace, Container etc.
We do not expose the internal API in Content DB, and instead only expose Web Services based off our FDK structures.
Developing a migration tool is purely on a case-by-case basis.
If the customer has made heavy use of document sub-typing, then they need to switch over to utilizing category objects.
If they have background agents, they need to look either at the Auditing /Event framework.
The complexity of the CM SDK migration will depend on how much of the low-level features the customer has leveraged. If it was purely just a metadata and content repository, migration will be quite simple.
If the application logic has been implemented using cmsdk structures (propertybundles etc), then migration will take some planning!
cheers
Matt.

FDF toolkit and images

Hi, I'm using FDF toolkit to populate text in PDF form successfully. However my client wants to start dynamically including an image. This image (a 2D barcode) is being created via third party software dependent upon the other text fields on the PDF form. The output of this third party software is an image file (tiff, jpg, or bmp.)
The only way I could find to include an image from a file to a PDF Form was to include a button, icon only. I can set the icon image to a bitmap file as default; however, when I try to set it programmatically thru the FDF Toolkit using FDFSetAP, it throws an error.
Can someone show me a way to include an image dynamically thru the FDF Toolkit?
Thanks,
Dale

Migrating from Progress to Oracle

Hi,
Wonder if someone's migrated from Progress to Oracle. What tools are available ? what are the constraints/pitfalls/limitations/restrictions ? I need to understand the overall migration process (not having done one yet). What are the tools ? what the procedural steps specifically to go from Progress to Oracle ?
If someone has done such project, I can use some highlights (if you can share your knowledge/experince).
Much appreciate any response.
Rohit.

Here is a bit of an update gathered from my own research on this issue. Hopefully, it can help someone with the same requirement as mine.
1. Oracle Migration WorkBench does NOT have support for Progress yet and according to Oracle sales, it may never be made available. Thus MWB is not an option.
2. Oracle Migration Toolkit is a possibility as it does have support going from Progress 6.x and 7.x to Oracle 7. The limitation here is that you can only go up to Oracle 7 from Progress 6.x or 7.x. In this case, I can migrate to Oracle 7 and then once all is well, upgrade Oracle to 8i or whatever.
3. The last option is, if migration toolkit does not work out, go the traditional route which is to export/extract Progress out into flat files and then load into Oracle using SQL Loader.

Migrating From BizTalk 2009 To Biztalk server 2013

Hi All,
My current solution is on BizTalk 2009 and my client is thinking of migrating to BizTalk 2013 . Please suggest me is it a good idea to migrate to BizTalk 2013.
Please provide me a difference between 2009 to 2013
Difference between 2009 to 2013 and main features.
Thanks and Regards
Dhanavel S

Hi Dhanavel,
Why don’t you think about migrating to BizTalk 2013 R2 which is available now. Anyway
First and foremost thing, BizTalk Server 2009’s mainstream support from Microsoft has ended on 08-July-2014. After mainstream support, customer will get extended support until
09-July-2019. So you're are in extended support phase now. Find out the following blogpost where you will know more about what you can get and what you’re going to miss from Microsoft support for BizTalk Server 2009. And also about what you have to do next.
Why you have to migrate to the latest version.
BizTalk Server 2009 mainstream support ends.What to do next?
Apart from losing the benefits of mainstream support against the extended support and apart from getting the benefits of latest offering/features of the newer version of the
product, BizTalk server 2009 is closely dependent on its underlying platforms like Windows Server 2008 (or Window server 2003/Windows XP-SP3/Windows Visa SP1), SQL Server 2008 (or SQL Server 2005 SP2) and Visual Studio 2008. So its high time to migrate.
BizTalk Server 2009 mainstream support ends. What to do next?
Some of the benefits of migrating from BizTalk 2009 to BizTalk 2013.
Platform upgrades:
BizTalk 2013 uses following, so when you upgrade from BizTalk 2009 to 2013, you will get the benefits by upgrading your platforms.
Windows Server 2012 (BizTalk 2009 uses Windows Server 2009)
Visual Studio 2012(BizTalk 2009 uses Visual Studio2008)
.NET Framework 4.5 (BizTalk 2009 uses .NET 3.5)
SQL Server 2012(BizTalk 2009 uses SQL 2008)
Virtualization support for Hyper-V (this feature is available from BizTalk 2010 onwards)
Some of the other benefits include
Better support to could
Azure Service Bus. And support for
BizTalk Server running on Azure IaaS
BizTalk Server 2013 Support for RESTful Services
More support towards WCF-based adpaters.
Secure FTP with new FTPS Adapter and an improved FTP Adapter
Out-of-box support to SFTP Adapter
Enhancements to the IBM Hosts Systems adapters
Update to BizTalk mapper
Updated Trading Partner Management (TPM) Capabilities.
Updates to industry schemas like HIPPA, HL7, SWIFT and SWIFTNet
Seamless ability to leverage BizTalk capabilities from SharePoint 2010 Business Connectivity Service to Line-of-Business systems
BizTalk Server setting dashboard for setting to
configuring the key performance, throttling, and tracking settings of your entire BizTalk group while offering fine grained control all the way down to the Host
Instance level.

Creation of domain issues - migration from weblogic 10.3.0 to 10.3.5 versio

Hello,
i would like to kindly ask for a help with following issue:
Basically we are migrating from the 10.3.0 to the 10.3.5 version. We are building the domain using the template in "silent mode". And when i try to create the domain with new weblogic 10.3.5 im getting some errors.
The command to run the creation of the domain is following:
${WL_HOME}/common/bin/config.sh -mode=silent -silent_script=${SILENT_SCRIPT} -log=${WLLOGFILE} >> ${LOGFILE} 2>&1
returnCode=$?
SILENT_SCRIPT contains following commands:
read template from "/local/wg372/BM/appl/config/NEW_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED.jar";
write domain to "/local/wg372/BM/appl/BmDomain";
set OverwriteDomain "true";
close template;
When i setup new env(solaris) with weblogic 10.3.5 im getting following error when the silent_script command (*write domain to "/local/wg372/BM/appl/BmDomain";*) is executed:

I tried to google for this issue, look into the weblogic documentation but with no luck.
So i would like to kindly ask, if anyone of you perhaps could give me a hint/advise with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
thanks for the reply but im not sure if we are talking about the same thing. What i need is to upgrade the weblogic "DOMAIN" not the weblogic installation itself.
Anyway,
after some googling and testing im again stucked with another issue:
1. First i have created the old doman (10.3.0)
2. Then i have tested the domain with the new weblogic version 10.3.5 - as it should be (and is) compatible within those 2 versions
---> worked fine
3. Then via offline WLST(of weblogic 10.3.5) i have managed to create new template with command writeTemplate(nameOfTemplate.jar)
4. But when i try to create the new domain with the new template via WLST(of weblogic 10.3.5) im again stucked (im able to read the template in wlst but not able to writeDomain ) - error:
wls:/offline> readTemplate('/home/wg372/tmp/new_template.jar')
wls:/offline/BmDomain>writeDomain('/home/wg372/tmp/new_domain')
Error: writeDomain() failed. Do dumpStack() to see details.

I tried to have a look around for the "The application location must have write permission." problem but again with no luck.
Furthemore when i try to do the same with old domain template, with old version of WLST (of weblogic 10.3.0), i have no problems with creating of the domain.
Any ideas?
Ill keep you updated :-)

Removing Public Folders after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

Recently we migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. We did not migrate Public Folders and are retiring them from Exchange altogether. I shut Exchange 2007 off for a couple of weeks to ensure 2013 functions properly and it does so we're
ready to decommission Exchange 2007. I was able to remove all the mailbox databases without a glitch. Using the EMC I click to remove the Public Folder database from Exchange 2007 and get the following message:
Error: The public folder database "server\storage group - Public Folders\ Public Folder Database" contains folder replicas. Before deleting the public folder database, remove the folders or move the replicas to another public folder database.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Terry,
If you run the following command does it come back with any public folders?
Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server "SERVERNAME" | fl
If nothing comes back you can follow this guide to manually remove the public folder database (at your own risk) http://haythamalex.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/how-to-force-exchange-server-public-folder-removal/
Cheers,
Jack
I get alot of output from that command.

ActiveSync stops working after migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

We have started the migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. We've followed best practices and everything is working great except ActiveSync. I've performed Exchange migrations in the past so this is nothing new for me. I've also been referring to
a great guide which has been a big help,
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/migration-deployment/planning-and-migrating-small-organization-exchange-2007-2013-part1.html.
Once a user is migrated from Exchange 2007 to 2013, ActiveSync stops working properly. Email can be pulled to the device (Nokia Lumia 625 running Windows Phone 8) by performing a manual sync. But DirectPush is not working. The strange part is it's not affecting
everyone who's been migrated. Anyone who is still on Exchange 2007 is not affected.
At first I thought it was our wildcard certificate. 99% of our users are running Outlook 2013 on Windows 7 or higher but we do have a few terminal servers still running Outlook 2010. Outlook 2010 was giving us certificate errors. I realized it was the wildcard
certificate. Rather than making changes to the OutlookProvider I simply obtained a new SAN certificate. Although that resolved the issues for Outlook 2010 users, ActiveSync was still a problem.
Rebooting the phones and removing the email account from the user's device and re-adding it didn't resolve the issue either.
Then I performed an iisreset on the CAS server. This didn't help either. I didn't know it at the time, but I was getting closer...
I tried using the cmdlet Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity but it gave me the following error:
WARNING: Test user 'extest_0d9a45b025374' isn't accessible, so this cmdlet won't be able to test Client Access server
connectivity.
Could not find or sign in with user DOMAIN.com\extest_0d9a45b025374. If this task is being run without
credentials, sign in as a Domain Administrator, and then run Scripts\new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 to verify that
the user exists on Mailbox server EX02.DOMAIN.COM
I started reviewing how Exchange 2013 proxied information from the CAS to the mailbox server and realized the issue may in fact be on the mailbox server.
I performed an iisreset on the mailbox server and all of a sudden ActiveSync started working again. Awesome!
I can't explain why. The only thing I can assume is when some users were migrated from 2007 to 2013 something wasn't being triggered on the Exchange 2013 side. Resetting IIS resolved the issue. I guess I'll have to do an IIS reset after I perform a batch
of migrations. Disabling ActiveSync and re-enabling it for the affected users didn't help - only the IISRESET resolved the issue.
If anyone has any information as to why this happens, please chime in. Also, if anyone knows why I can't run the Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity cmdlet, I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks.

Hi,
In Exchange 2013, the Public Folder is changed to Public Folder mailbox instead of Public Folder in Exchange 2007 database.
Due to the changes in how public folders are stored, legacy Exchange mailboxes are unable to access the public folder hierarchy on Exchange 2013 servers. However, user mailboxes on Exchange 2013 servers or Exchange Online can connect to legacy
public folders. Exchange 2013 public folders and legacy public folders can’t exist in your Exchange organization simultaneously. This effectively means that
there’s no coexistence between versions.
For this reason, it’s recommended that prior to migrating your public folders, you should
first migrate your all legacy mailboxes to Exchange 2013. For more information about migrating public folder from previous versions, please refer to:

Cross Forest Migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

Hi
Could anybody advice me the steps also the pros and cons for below mentioned environment if we are going for the cross forest migration.
Source
Domain - test.local
Active Directory - Windows 2003
Exchange Server - 2007
Target
Domain - test.net
Active Directory - Windows 2012
Exchange Server - 2013
Also if it is possible ,
How could I remove the source environment including the exchange servers. after the migration ?
Regards
Muralee

Hi Oliver ,
Please suggest us.
In my environment we are in a plan to migrate from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 (cross forest migration).
Source : Exchange 2007 with sp3 ru 10
Target : Exchange 2013 with cu2 ( new environment yet to be created).
Trust : Forest trust in place (two way )
Domain and forest functional level : 2003 in both target and source
Migration Steps :
Step1 :
We are in a plan to execute 'preparemoverequest.ps1' first in the target forest ,so that we will get the disable MEU
in the target forest.
Step2:
Then we are going to use ADMT to migrate users SID'S and password .
Step3:
Then we are going to move the mailboxes with New-moverequest
Please have a look in to our steps and suggest us ,whether we are going to proceed the migration in a right way or not
.Is anything needs to be changed please intimate me .
Thanks
S.Nithyanandham
Hey there,
Sorry for taking a little while to get back to you, i've been busy working on Hosted Lync deployments!
Use ADMT first, then when using preparemoverequest.ps1 script using the -uselocalobject cmdlet. This will then tie it up to the ADMT migrated account.

Migrating from Exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 ( special case )

Hello ,
what is the BEST scenario ( fastest , most efficient , most secure in terms of data loss ) , to migrate from exchange 2007 ( one server , all exchange roles installed on this server , 1200 mailbox ) , to exchange 2013 ?
knowing my environment needs to be connected to their mailboxes , 24/7 !
it's very frustrating .
and i have no clue even if this is the right place to post about this , if not please refer me as to where to post .
Also , All my domain controllers are 2008 .

It's fine to post your question here, and you are fine with Server 2008 Domain Controllers - that is a supported scenario.
If you haven't performed such an upgrade and you need to have 24/7 mailbox availability, I would seriously recommend you to duplicate the production environment on a test network and run through the upgrade at least once.
Most people neglect the Outlook clients requirements - they need to be updated and include several specific updates, which allow the automatic reconfiguration of internal clients. If you are preparing for this upgrade, you should be aware that all internal
Outlook clients switch to Outlook Anywhere. Clients that miss these updates will get connectivity problems.
Another common problem is the configuration of the Exchange URL - I mean the Exchange 2013 URL and the modified Exchange 2007 URL that will allow the co-existence. In your case, you definitely need to plan for co-existence - that includes requesting and
installing a new Exchange UCC (Multiple Domain Certificate) on both Exchange servers, configuring Split DNS (or preferably PinPoint DNS zones), and correct timing when replacing the existing Certificate on the Exchange 2007 server. Failure to configure the
correct URL (and it's quite easy to miss one, so triple check them) will get you in trouble.
Once you get through the switchover (switching the mail flow and Client Access through the Exchange 2013 server), move just a couple of test mailboxes and check the result.
Finally, if you are moving the Public Folders, make sure that the lock is really applied before you complete the process. Most people proceed right away and that get's the process stuck. If you can afford it (the mailboxes are already on the Exchange 2013
server at that point), just restart the Exchange 2007 server (after locking the Public Folders) and then complete the Public Folder migration.
Good Luck with the project!
