Subject: Re: DAMO 8.0.2 and Notes archive
we are trying DAMO 8.0.2 for a couple of Outlook users that want not to use Notes(yes, we try to convert them)
Now I have some questions:
- Can DAMO access the Notes email archive that is on the Domino server? No. The only server mailfile(s) that the DAMO client can access are the user’s own mailfile and its replicas.
Outlook natively offers archiving to a local store (.pst).
- Can I have the Notes 8.0.2 client in installed on the same machine as the DAMO/Outlook. Absolutely.
I tested pointing the DAMO path to the actual Notes client path and it worked. Please DON’T do this.
Both clients installed on the same machine is not a problem. In fact, if the DAMO user receives an Notes link he will need a Notes client installed. The concern about sharing resources however, is that there will likely be contention when one application has a resource and the other is trying to access the same resource. The local names.nsf would be an example of a critical resource used by both applications.
For example, the data directory is C:\lotus\notes\data and I pointed DAMO to this path too.
Is there a problem with this config? It’s guaranteed to break the DAMO client, and probably the Notes client also. They can both point to (share) the same Notes ID file, but they must have separate data directories.
-
Enabling the port encription in DAMO, is this as secure as the port encription in Notes client? It’s the same port encryption that Notes/Domino uses. When you enable encryption or compression from the Domino Preferences Replication UI, it simply sets the appropriate values in the client’s notes.ini. As with the Notes client, this needs to be enabled on the server also.
-
Does DAMO uses a local replica of names.nsf? Does DAMO replicate this local names.nsf replica?
DAMO supports a local copy of the Domino directory for offline use. This may be set via the Domino Preferences Directories UI. Because the local directory replicates with the server, it is STRONGLY suggested that ONLY a condensed directory or directory catalog be specified, and not a full Domino directory.
Secondly, where the Notes client has a local names.nsf as its Personal Address Book, with DAMO this Personal Address Book function is provided via the Outlook Contacts.
The Outlook Contacts are automatically mapped and replicated by DAMO to the user’s server mailfile. They are stored in the $Contacts view, making them available to DWA, and to the Notes client using the Synchronize Address Book action.
Finally, DAMO has a local names.nsf in its data directory. This is a repository for the location and connection documents, and stores policy/settings documents used by dynconfig.
Many thanks
