I’m working as a consultant helping software companies to integrate their products with Lotus Notes/Domino. I have built several Lotus Notes C++ API based applications that still are in production. Now when the market is moving towards more Windows 2003 based systems I have been worried about the IBM announcement that the Notes client will not be supported on the Windows 2003 server platform (KB: 1110541).
Does anyone know if this also includes the Lotus C++ API, which requires an installed Lotus Notes client to run?
I have done some tests and as far as I can see programs developed with the C++ API will work as long as you do not try to run the Notes client simultaneously.
I would be grateful for any information regarding this.
i guess in real world it doesn’t matter if a c++ api application uses libraries from a server or client installation - since c++ api is all backend stuff, i would’t care much about that.
regarding if its supported: if you put your application in server directory i’d say that you could call this supported (if server version is), installing a seperate client on win2003 i may not.
