Adding a Lotus Notes data source

You add a Lotus Notes data source to CAS Console by specifying connection information, seeds, filters that include or exclude files, and advanced settings.

To add a Lotus Notes data source:

  1. On the Data Sources page, click Add Data Source....
  2. Select Lotus Notes Connector from the list and click Add. The Data Source tab displays.
  3. In Name, specify a unique name for the data source to distinguish it from other data sources in the CAS Console. You can create a data source name with alphanumeric characters, underscores, dashes, and periods. All other characters are invalid for a name.
  4. In User Name, specify a valid user account for the data source and then specify values for Password and Confirm Password.
  5. In Domino Server, specify the name of the Domino server where the database is located.
  6. In Database Path, specify the absolute or relative path of the Notes database.
  7. Click Show optional configuration.
  8. Optionally, in HTTP Port Number, specify the port of the Domino web server or DIIOP server. If no value is added the default of 80 is used.
  9. Optionally, in QuickPlace, indicate whether the Notes database being accessed is an IBM Lotus QuickPlace or IBM Lotus Quickr database. If set to true, the settings for Content strategy and RFC 822 strategy are ignored. The default is false.
  10. Optionally, in Content Strategy, select the strategy to use for document content. The strategies are:
    • Text Body
    • Text Body + Attachments (This is the default).
    • Attachments
    • HTML Body + Attachments
  11. Optionally, in RFC 822 Strategy, select true for the server to attempt to reconstruct the original RFC 822 message and return it as content. If the document is not in RFC 822 format, the strategy specified by contentStrategy is used instead.
  12. Optionally, in Keep Rich Text, select true to return rich-text fields as properties, or select false to ignore them.
  13. Optionally, in Display Views, specify comma-separated names of views/folders that should be made available by the connector even if they are normally hidden.
  14. Optionally, specify one or more seeds by clicking Add under Seeds. Unless otherwise indicated, the syntax for a CMS seed begins with a forward slash, specifies the root, and then any level of folder depth, for example, /CMSRoot/folderA/folderB. Seed names are case sensitive.
  15. Click Save or select the Filters or Advanced Settings tab to continue configuring the data source.

The data source displays Acquisition Steps where you can add manipulators, revise the data source configuration if necessary, or start acquiring data from the data source.

At this point, you can add manipulators, acquire data from the data source, and monitor its status.
