Using load convert to convert non-mail databases
You can use the server's mail convert utility to convert non-mail databases to another type of non-mail database. Non-mail databases are all databases that do not have a $Inbox folder.

About this task

Use the convert utility with the -d switch to prevent the conversion process from creating new folders for each category in the databases you are converting.

When the load convert task is used without a switch, folders are created for all categories within the database. The load convert task looks for a $inbox, if there is no $Inbox, it processes the categories as views.

Enter the load convert -d task from the Domino® server command line as follows:

load convert -d  databasename *  newtemplatename


You can also convert an entire directory as shown in this example,

load convert -d doclibrary\*.nsf  newtemplatename
