INTEGRA FOR NOTES - THE AWARD WINNING LOTUS NOTES TO MICROSOFT OFFICE & LOTUS SYMPHONY INTEGRATION SOLUTION Integra generates Notes data to Microsoft Word, Excel, and Lotus Symphony, allowing end users to analyse and present data using Graphs, Pivot Tables, Filters, etc. Supports Mail Merge and Labels. No installation required, on the end user's workstation.
Through the optional use of Integra's event driven model, it provides a depth of access to data & computational capability, which is unique in the industry.
Download the Zip file and extract the NSF to your server and the Zip within the Zip to your PC somewhere. Then, from within Flex Builder, go to File -> Import and browse to this Zip. This will import all the code as a ready-to-compile project.
Before you run it - once it's imported - open the Constants.as file from the root "/src" folder and then change the default path to wherever you put the NSF. Save the file and hit the compile/run/play button (green triangle). It should compile and run. You can then start adding documents to the backend database in Notes. Et voila.
As a recap, here are the ten posts I've made over the last month or so, which describe various aspects of the code:
What it's not is a step-by-step guide that let's a beginner get to grips with Flex development. If you're looking for a more in-depth guide to learning Flex basics then you could try this comprehensive series of screencasts.
What it is is an ill-thought-out series of ramblings with very little coercion. By making it a numbered series I may well have given the wrong impression. Sorry. While each of the ten posts has its own merits there's little point reading them in order, really. Although, if you're going to pick apart the Flex app itself it might be worth doing so.
Even if you have no use of a Contact Manager (heck, if you needed a contact manager then this probably isn't of much use anyway) the Flex app represents a conglomeration of as many of my current "best practices" as I could squeeze in. The code contains a lot of the goodness that I've learnt over the past year or more of my love affair with Flex. Primarily it demonstrates the ever-important concept of using re-usable components wherever possible.
It always seems so silly to display an edit button (or any action needing edit access) to a user who has author level access to a database but is not an author of the current document. I would like to see an @function (e.g. @IsEditor) which would determine if the current user is able to edit the current document by resolving the author fields on the document (and the ACL level set). This would be applicable to Classic Notes as well as XPages. Bonus points for providing an equivalent NotesDocument method (for LS and SSJS) as well.
From time to time you always find a user who sends a mail to a large group of adressess and puts them in the To/CopyTo field instead of the BlindCopyTo field. This then causes an endless "ReplyToAll" avalanche and can lead to (deserved) embaressment of the sender and his company.
Why not counter this with a simple function where the user would get a warning message when trying to send a mail which has x (10,50,100) adressees in the To or CopyTo field ?
PS: Such an simple function can also be nicely used in marketing the Notes client as many CEOs can actually see this risk
I can attach files to a RT field by simply dropping them from the (computer's) desktop. In case of a picture file, I import it afterwards. (Knowing that's double. But doing so I have the file and a preview...)
So what about pressing a key, like <i> (= [i]mport) and the picture file is not attached but imported? - Until a <right click and 'save picture as...> is there.
If you don't have transaction logging enabled (and even sometimes if you do), there are pretty common situations where if a server crashes and comes back up, your mail may need to be consistency checked (or other things may be going on that keep it from responding.).
If your mail is not available due to consistency checking or slowness (Network operation did not complete in a reasonable amount of time....), you should be offered to fail over to a cluster-mate.
Maybe it's fixed somewhere, but I've seen this NOT work correctly using an 8.5.1 client....
Da Li Liu has contributed a new sample
to OpenNTF showing how to integrate Lotus Notes and Lotus Symphony. Here is the catalog
entry, here the direct
download link and here the documentation. The new project contains a tutorial
from Lotusphere ...
This white paper explains how to configure IBM Tivoli Access Manager as a single sign-on (SSO) solution for IBM Lotus Connections 2.5. Though this is an optional configuration, it is recommended in order to provide a more secure environment, especially if users are accessing Lotus Connections from a wide area network (WAN).
IBM® Lotus® and IBM Redbooks® publications have partnered together to create this wiki content that explains how to install, configure, and deploy the WebSphere Business Process Accelerator, a Portal accelerator that allows users to integrate Lotus Forms, WebSphere Portal, and WebSphere Process Server.
Developing IBM Lotus® Forms for Webform Server is different from developing forms for IBM Lotus Forms Viewer and can consume more development effort. By understanding the nature of Webform Server and applying the practices listed in this article, you can resolve the potential issues during the development phase.
When trying to restart the Domino HTTP task ("restart task http"), the following error is being seen in the Domino console: "HTTP Server: Unable to open notes message queue"
Domino 8.5.1 displays miscellaneous data containing Exception:parseMS errors when accessed with an older version of jconsole.exe on java console debug output window. Incident is not reproducible using the 8.5.1 server java console (jconsole.exe)
If Notes 8.5.1.x roaming users change the sort order for a column in either the Inbox or in a folder, upon restarting Notes these views revert to their default sort order (oldest messages on top). This issue is known to occur if the workspace roaming feature is enabled in Notes 8.5.1.x. To confirm whether workspace roaming is enabled, see technote #1405295.
