Jakub,

It depends what the agent is trying to do. It may work if you just change the agent properties, security setting to either “2” or “3” from the default “1” setting (“Do not allow restricted operations”). However, if the agent is affecting mail files, then you must save the agent with the server ID.

it is exactly what agent should do - send an email. how can I save agent with server ID?

Jakub,

  1. On the Domino server box, right-click on the Windows Start button and choose Explore. Then via Windows Explorer, locate the nlnotes.exe file in the C:\Lotus\Domino folder (not to be confused with C:\Lotus\Notes). Doubleclick on it.

[nlnotes.exe is the client of the server – what runs when you first configure the server before you’ve even installed the Notes / Designer / Administrator clients.]

  1. It should launch with the server ID, but if not, you should be able to switch to it. You may get a Note ID error, but disregard it.

  2. Open the database containing the agent you want to save via File ==> Database ==> Open and choosing “Local” for the server (since you are doing this on the server box).

  3. There is no such thing as a Designer client for the server, so with the DB open, choose View ==> Agents, locate the agent in the list, and double-click to open it. You cannot edit the agent, all you can do is save it. So click on the save icon or do File ==> Save, then File ==> Close to exit out of the agent. Now when you view the agent in the agent list, you will see that it was saved with the server ID.

Subject: RE: Saving Agent with the Server ID

Ken,thank you for your very detailed description. I think I understand it. It is signature by server id. However I faced one very strange thing. I has set server in databaze’s ACL like a manager. but when I try to open the databaze according to your description, system prompts me that server has not access to this databaze. I am very confused. I do not know why. maybe that could be the snag… (that is why i was not able to access the databaze as you wrote me) i do not want to bother you but if you could help me again i would appriciat it very much. thank you, jakub

Jakub,

It sounds like you didn’t specify “Local” on step 3.
