Domino Reservation & Scheduling feature

Hi

Is there a way to have a custom resource defined in dominos with a option of allowing upto 5 booking for the same resource at the same time slot i.e system should make the resource unavailable only after the same slot for the resource is booked by 5 different person ?

Also what is the best way to search the reservation document based on startdatetime & enddatetime ? And how can the same search option be provided through a java application .

Any specific java API for domino calendering and sceduling feature .

Thanks

What you describe is the ability to have a ‘pool’ of resources that you can reserve from (it does not matter which “LCD Projector” you get, you get whatever one is available). Domino does not have that ability currently.

What kind of document searching are you trying to do? Are you looking to read data from the views or build your own view in an external application (eg: “What are the reservations for Room A for today?”) or something else?

There is both a C and Java API for reading busytime information. To do much else you should just use the regular Java APIs in conjunction with the C&S schema info that is posted on DeveloperWorks to achieve what you want.

Is the resource pooling expected to be implemented in any of the furture release of Domino , Resource Reservation Database ??

For eg if we have 4 projectors , we will define only one resource as projector with an option of number of parellel booking possible as in this case it would be 4. So the freetime database should mark this resource as busy only if 4 simultaneous booking has been made for this resource.

So that if any day any particular projector is not working we may just reduced the number by one and rest of the things will work as is , also to increase the parellel booking only the number needs to be changed ??

Is any kind of such implemntation expected in future release of Domino ??
