Lotus Notes Repository Manager

Use

The Lotus Notes repository manager allows you to gain read access to documents that are stored on Lotus Domino servers, and to place them into the portal.

Prerequisites

You must fulfill the following prerequisites in order to use the repository manager:

· You have installed a Lotus Domino server in version 5.0.6.

· You have a Lotus Notes user that has read access to all documents.

The following settings are to be made in the Domino Administrator by the administrator of the Lotus Domino server.

...

1. Users have an Internet password. On the People and Groups tab, choose People ® Edit Person. On the Basics tab for the user, set the Internet password. This password is needed for User Mapping in the portal.

2. The permission Run unrestricted Java/Javascript/COM must be assigned to the users on the Lotus Domino server. Make these settings under Configuration ® Current Server Document ® Security.

3. You have to activate the parameter Allow HTTP clients to browse databases under Configuration ® Current Server Document ® Internet Protocols ® HTTP so that the repository manager can access the Lotus Domino server’s databases.

Make sure that the timeout of the DIIOP Web Agent is set to a suitable value. Enter a value of 3600 or higher.

4. The IIOP protocol has to be activated (Configuration tab and then Current Server Document ® Ports ® Internet Ports ® IIOP).

Make sure that the DIIOP task is activated. Enter load diiop into the server console, or add DIIOP to the list of tasks in the notes.ini file: ServerTasks = …,diiop,…

5. The HTTP and IIOP ports of the Domino server have to be open.

After you have made these settings, restart the Lotus Domino server.

Features

The following repository services are supported by the repository manager:

· Application Property Service

· Service ACL service

· Access Statistics Service

· Subscription Service

Use

Lotus Notes Display Name Definitions

The value of a document item that is contained in a document can be used as the display name for a document.

You can enter the name of the document item whose value is to be displayed in the explorer under Content Management ® Repository Managers ® Lotus Notes Display Name Definitions. This can be set separately for each iView or database.

Parameters of Lotus Notes Display Name Definitions

Parameter	Required	Description
Name	Yes	Name of the display name definition.
Database	Yes	Specifies the database that contains the view with the required documents.
Document item	Yes	Specifies the document item that is displayed as the name of the document in the explorer.
View	Yes	Specifies the view in the database that contains the documents.

For resources, subject is used by default as the display name.

Example

Name = decsdoc_chapter
Database = DECS 5.03 documentation
Document item = Chapter
View = User Guide

These settings are for the document item chapter in the user guide view of the DECS 5.03 documentation database.

These settings mean that the name of the chapter (Document item = Chapter)is returned in the results of a search.

Constraints

The Lotus Notes repository manager only provides read access. Write access is not available. This gives rise to the following constraints:

· The status management service is not supported.

· The content exchange service only supports the fetching of contents from the Lotus Notes repository to be placed in other repositories.

Further constraints:

· It is not possible to index personal documents (for example, from your mail inbox).

· Metadata is not indexed.
