CAPI and Domino 7

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Does anyone know what Domino 7’s impact will be on the standard Lotus Notes CAPI?

Meaning, if I’ve created a C application that interacts with Domino using the Lotus Notes CAPI, what may break when the application is now pointed at a Domino 7 server?

For example, do we need to change code to get it to work with Domino 7 Servers that store data in DB2? If so, which code is likely to break?

What happens when we dynamically add fields/items to a document? Is this automatically taken care of if the document is stored in DB2 versus NSF?

Are rich text fields handled differently?

As a C developer, are there any new Domino 7 features that I should be looking at supporting?

If you use published ‘C’ API all changes will be transparent. I don’t work on the DB2 team and use ‘C’ API in my code, I have not had to change anything all changes are done below exposed APIs. Everything works just fine :slight_smile:

I also suggest that you sign up for a R7 beta and start reading R7 forum, this question has probably been addressed there.
