Hi
I want to sent an email to a group of users on different servers. In the email is a link to a db. This db has replicas on all servers. When the user clicks on the link I want the replica to be opened on their home server.
How can I do that? Is it better to create a button in the email with some code in it? How should the code look like, how can I assure that the replica on their home server is opened?

Document links doesn’t contain server name. It contains only replica id of database, UNID of view, and UNID of document. When users try to open a document link, a suitable server will be auotomatically found out which contains a replica of the db. So you get what you need now, by default.
However if you are interested in writing some code, using file operations create a text file with .NDL as extension, and following contents:

Link to document
Leverage the xml field to specify a server of your choice.

Hint is only used if the user does not have a replica of the database on their desktop / bookmarks. If they already have a copy, that replica is the one used. If they don’t, Notes tries to open the one stored on the server that’s in the Hint field.

Hi
That means I have to send several email , each containing a servername in the code from which the replica will be opened. But I want send only 1 email to all users. So, something in the code must decide/choose the right server to open the replica from.
