Considering approaching our development team with a request to develop a Notes application that would include a feed in to the Notes account registration process e.g. recruitment team input a new starters name and staff number in to the application and ‘submit’ to IT admin team who then access the same application and approve\initiate the account creation process.
Could anybody advise if it is feasible to feed Notes account registration details directly in to admin4.nsf from a custom Notes app without using the Domino Administrator ‘Register user’ interface?
Perhaps using a custom adminp request handler IBM Developer.
Intention is that the application would replace a number of other databases and spreadsheets and streamline the registration process, thanks in advance.
We currently have a registration process in place for our student email accounts. We actually have 2 student email registration agents in place. The 1st one uses an ODBC connection on the Domino server to connect to our PeopleSoft environment to read a select table in Peoplesoft. The data in that table is of new students who need email accounts setup. The agent then processes the information from the table and creates a person document and email account.
The 2nd is a self-sevice type creation process where the student fills out the information. When the student clicks submit, an email gets sent to a mail-in DB. The DB is our student address book. There’s an agent that processes new emails every 5 minutes to create the student’s account.
We are now in the process of doing the same thing for our staff and faculty.
I was not the creator of these agents. We had an outside company handle the programming of it. It works very well for our needs. If we didn’t have this, I would need to hire someone just to create student accounts.
