Prerequisites to use Domino inbound activities

This section contains the prerequisites for configuring the Domino® inbound activities:

Configuring the Domino server

  1. Copy the native library mentioned in the following table from <STUDIO ROOT>/etc/domino/<platform> directory to the Domino servers root directory. The native library is selected based on the platform on which Domino server is running.
    Library file Supported operating systems
    waldinbound.dll Windows 32 bit
    waldinbound.dll Windows 64 bit
    libwaldinbound_r.a AIX® 32 bit
    libwaldinbound.so Redhat 32 bit
    libwaldinbound.so Suse 32 bit
    libwaldinbound.so Solaris 32 bit
  2. Search for notes.ini file in the Domino server. Open the file and add an entry at the end of the file.
    EXTMGR_ADDINS=waldinbound
  3. Copy the inbound event database (filename : waldinbound.nsf) from the (<STUDIO ROOT>/etc/domino/) to the Domino server's data directory (<DominoRoot>/data).
  4. Open the inbound event database (waldinbound.nsf) by using Lotus Notes® and configure the event activity.
  5. The following are the steps for configuring WALD inbound event table.
    • Select the EventTriggerConfigurationView. If there is an entry, edit it. If there is no entry, create a new configuration.
    • Enter a value for connector ID. This is optional.
    • Enter the database name and form (both are case sensitive) for which events need to be generated for the field ‘Monitored documents'. The same database and form will be selected during discovery of the inbound activity. The syntax is shown below.
      • DatabaseName:formName
      • SampleDatabase.nsf:Employee
      • TestDatabase.nsf:Form1:TestDatabase.nsf:Form2. (For this, events will be generated for both Form1 and Form2.)
  6. Select the event type interested.
    Note: The selected event type corresponds to the starter activities (Get Created Documents or Get Updated Documents or Get Deleted Documents).
  7. Save the configuration (Ctrl + S). Events from the selected databases and forms get triggered and are available in the EventView of the inbound event database.
  8. Restart Domino server. Test from Lotus Notes by using sample data and make sure that the events are getting generated for the configuration.
  9. Configure the starter activity in Studio. Then create or update or delete a document (based on the configuration chosen in EventTriggerConfigurationView) for the configured Domino databases, which triggers an event. The event is picked by the Domino starter activity and processed.
