Run a CNV Conversion Job

You typically run Cnv2email.exe from a command line. You configure conversion operations by specifying parameters in the configuration file, cnv2email.ini. This configuration file must be in the same folder as Cnv2email.exe and IMFrontEnd.exe.

In addition, be aware that:

• Cnv2email.exe and IMFrontEnd.exe must be configured to use a shared folder for file interchanges. For details, see the File.Pathspec parameter.
• Cnv2email.exe can run in continuous mode or once‑only mode. To set up continuous unattended CNV conversion operations, you must set File.ContinuousInput=Yes.
• You can output EML emails to:
  • A ‘standard’ folder for subsequent retrieval by an Event Import or Import Policy job, or
  • An Exchange pickup folder, from where they are subsequently moved to the specified target mailbox.

  For details, see the FileOut.Directory parameter.

• Chapter-splitting parameters enable you to split lengthy IM conversations into chapters based on a regular timeout, or the number of comments submitted, or both. For details, see IM.ChapterTimeoutMins and IM.ChapterMaxMessages parameters.
