Connector for IBM Lotus Notes

With the Connector for IBM Lotus Notes, you can integrate data from IBM Lotus Notes databases into your web-based Intrexx platform - in real time. You can access the data there via your application and integrate it into processes. Your employees can then access it individually and with any terminal devices. For example, assign tasks to your employees that trigger further actions when executed or set off an automated reminder process when not executed. Or you can provide each logged-in user with their personal data such as appointments and tasks in an application. In addition, this calendar can be used to feed an absence list in the platform, which can be viewed by all employees, for example.

Especially if you are planning to switch from IBM Lotus Notes, the Connector is the means of choice for migrating your existing data and implementing your previous applications bit by bit on the basis of Intrexx technology. Create secure and stable applications with Intrexx based on modern technologies, which can be adapted and expanded at any time, and open them up for the possibilities of digitization.

General information

  • Intrexx accesses the IBM Lotus Notes or Domino Server via the IBM Lotus Notes Java API using the Notes protocol DIIOP (Domino Internet Inter-ORB Protocol).

  • The HTTP and DIIOP services on the Domino Server need to be activated.

Integrating the library file NCSO.jar

Integrating the IBM Lotus Notes interface and creating a data connection via DIIOP (Domino Internet Inter-ORB Protocol) makes it possible to integrate data (e.g. addresses or project data) from a Domino server. To do so, the library file NCSO.jar must be integrated. This file is contained in the delivered version of Lotus Notes. In order to correctly register the library, please carry out the following steps:

  1. Close the Portal Manager.

  2. Stop all portal services that are running.

  3. Copy the file "NCSO.jar" to the installation directory /lib.

  4. Start the portal service(s).

You can now create an IBM Lotus Notes connection in the "Integration" module and then use the external data in applications and processes.
