Using the Retrieve Activity, you can retrieve a document
from a Domino database. Each retrieved document must be uniquely identifiable
by its UniversalID or NotesID.
Using the retrieve activity
- Right-click Orchestration in the Project
pane and click New Orchestration to create
or open an orchestration. The orchestration pane is displayed.
- Select the Activities tab and expand the Domino folder.
- Drag and drop Retrieve Activity from the
Domino folder onto the orchestration. A graphical representation of
the orchestration along with the Checklist is displayed.
- The Checklist pane lists the tasks(Summary, Pick Endpoint,
Configure, Map inputs, Map outputs) that you must complete
to configure the outbound activity.
- 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.
- Click Configure from the Checklist. The
Configure pane is displayed.
Specifying the map inputs for the retrieve activity
The input parameter for Retrieve activity is either UniversalID
or NotesID. When both are given, UniversalID is used to retrieve the
Domino document.
- Click Map Input from the Checklist pane.
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 Notes ID 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.
Specifying the map outputs for the retrieve activity
- Click Map output from the Checklist pane.
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.
