Deleting a Domino document

Use the Delete Activity to delete a document from the Domino database. Each deleted document must be uniquely identifiable by its UniversalID or NotesID.

Using the delete activity

  1. Right-click Orchestration in the Project pane and click New Orchestration to create or open an orchestration. The orchestration pane is displayed.
  2. Select the Activities tab and expand the Domino folder.
  3. Drag and drop Delete Activity from the Domino folder onto the orchestration. A graphical representation of the orchestration along with the Checklist is displayed.
  4. The Checklist pane lists the tasks(Summary, Pick Endpoint, Configure, Map inputs, Map outputs) that you must complete to configure the outbound activity.
  5. Click Pick Endpoint, and then select a Domino endpoint.

    For instructions on creating or editing a Domino endpoint, see Creating or editing an endpoint for a Domino activity.

  6. Click Configure from the Checklist. The Configure pane is displayed.
    • Click Browse to select an existing database from the Browse Domino databases pane. The Browse Domino databases displays all the databases for the selected endpoint.
    • Click Next to select an existing form from the Browse Domino Forms pane. The Browse Domino Forms displays all the forms present in the selected database of the Domino server.
      Note: The Next button is enabled only after selecting the database name.

Specifying the map inputs for the delete activity

  1. Click Map Input from the Checklist.
    The input parameters for the specific Domino activity are displayed under the To Activity pane. Some of the common input parameters are defined in the following table.
    Parameter Name Description
    UniversalID The UniversalID parameter is a read-write property that uniquely identifies a document across all replicas of a database. In character format, the unique ID parameter is a 32-character combination of hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). The UniversalID is also known as the unique ID or UNID. The datatype is string.
    NotesID The Notes ID of a document is a read only property and has a hexadecimal value of up to 8 characters, which uniquely identifies a document within a particular database. The NotesID represents the location of a document within a specific database file. So the documents that are replicas of one another generally have different Notes IDs. A Notes ID does not change, unless the document is deleted.
    Note: You must map the input parameters of the activity.
Optional parameters

There is also an optional parameter for delete activity.

Specifying the map outputs for the delete activity

  1. Click Map output from the Checklist.

    The output parameters for the Domino activity are displayed under the From Activity pane.

    Note: You can map the output parameters of the activity based on requirement.
