Connection Lotus Notes and ERP 2005

Hello experts!
I have some simple questions:
- What is the procedure to connect Lotus Notes and ERP 2005 (Do we need RFC-connects or RFC/BAPI?)
- Has the SAP Business connector still any supports?

Hi,
There are couple Lotus integration products available from IBM (both pretty old but still will do the job):
<a href="http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/SAP_LN_Lotus_Notes_Introduction.asp">Pretty detailed blog</a>
<a href="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/documentation/sapconnector/">IBM Documentation</a>
<a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/lei-sap/">IBM Documentation on LEI</a>
They use RFC connectivity - check with IBM on support, from SAP perspective both should work.
SAP Business connector is being replaced with PI, but either are nothing to do with Lotus connectivity I think

Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC connection not working

I have created an ODBC source. I tried using this in SSIS workflow ODBC, when I test the connection, it crashes my Visual Studio 2010

Hi Kathy,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, could you please tell me if you connect the
Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC with ADO.NET like this following link.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a6c32c6b-876a-4fd5-8faa-d6498a6755c7/updatedwhere-to-post-nonadonet-datagridview-tableadapter-odbcoledb-etc-questions?forum=adodotnetdataproviders
If possible, please share me more detailed steps about how to connect the
Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC in the VS2010.
In addition, could you please share me some crash error message in this VS2010 when test this connection?
To check if this issue is related to this VS IDE, I suggest you could try to connect
Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC on other machine and then check if you still get this issue.
(1) If you still get this crash issue, I assume that this issue is related to this connection
Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC.
(2) If you did not get same error message, I suggest you could try to restart your machine and then open this VS2010 as Admin on your local machine and then connect it check this issue again.
Please try to close the firewall software on some other progress from this Task Manager and then check this issue.
In addition, I suggest you could try to use this process monitor tool to check which process running when you test this connect.

Secure Search Lotus Notes and NTFS?

How can I do secure search with Lotus Notes and NTFS sources? When configuring Identity Management, I have to choose between Lotus and MSAD. And user names are different between both directories. Any chance to secure both sources with one query?

If user names are different on the two systems, you can't combine them in a single SES instance. You only log on once to SES, so the system wouldn't be able to tell which username to use for each system.
However, this can be done via the federation architecture. You need two SES instances, one connected to AD and one connected to the Lotus Notes native identity plugin.
You will then need to have an attribute in your AD which contains the Notes username. Let's call it LNNAME.
You would then create a federated source on the instance connected to AD, which collects results from the instance connected to the Notes plugin.
When you define your federated source, there is a field called "Search User Attribute". This is the name of the AD attribute which contains the Notes username - LNNAME in our example.
SES then authenticates the user against AD. It then runs federated queries against the Notes system, asserting that the logged in user is a valid Notes user with a certain username, which it gets from the LNNAME attribute.
Naturally this requires trust between the systems. The Notes system has to trust the AD to correctly authenticate and identify the user - even though the Notes password will never be given.

"Read" status of e-mail will not sync wirelessly between Lotus Notes and 8520??

HI,
This is my first post and I realize that this might not be the right area to post this question but my question did not seem to fit anywhere else.
I was recently issued a BB 8520 at my new company and we work in a Lotus Notes environment and I believe it is version 7.
This is not happening to anyone else that I know of in our company but when I read an e-mail in Lotus Notes from my desktop, wireless sync will not mark it read on my Blackberry. Also when I read an e-mail on my BB, it will not mark it read in Lotus Notes. However if I delete an e-mail in Lotus Notes, it will delete it from my BB via wireless sync. Finally, when my BB is attached to my desktop via USB, and I do a manual sync from Blackberry Desktop Manager, it will sync the "read" status of my e-mails between Lotus Notes and my BB.
So I guess my question is why are most sync functions working via wireless sync between my e-mail in Lotus Notes and my BB, but not the "read" status of an e-mail? And I know that it works for other users in our company so it's really bothering as it is a whipping to have check e-mails that are still marked as unread (in both Lotus Notes and my BB) when I have already read them.
Thank you and I would really appreciate any help or information that I could provide to our IT Admin at work to help him solve my problem.
Thank you,
Matt

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Looks like you posted in the right device forum and your post is very clear!
First open the main message queue, menu key options, email reconciliation, is wireless reconcile on?
Some "light reading" that may address the issue as well is attached below.
Let us know how it goes!

Pushing BO inbox item to Lotus Notes and SAP Inbox.

Hi ,
Can we Push BO inbox item to Lotus Notes and SAP Inbox. if we do it then how to do it.
Thanks in Advance.

Yagyashikha

Hi,
well you should ask your Lotus Notes administrator to setup an SMTP gateway on the LotusNotes side for you. I know that this is possible but I have not done it myself before. And since this is an SAP BusinessObjects forum I am not sure you will get an answer about this here.

Stratos

Not sure if this applies to your version though.

Lotus Notes and SAP Business Workflow

Hi Experts!
If you have an experience or if you have SPECIFIC notes on Lotus Notes/SAP Workflow integration, please share some views on these following questions:
1. The SAP version we are using is ECC6. The client wants to upgrade their Lotus Notes client to V7.0.1 which caters Workflow integration. Do we need to have the Lotus Connector for this? (Workitem should be processed using the Lotus Notes client and there is a link where the apporover can process the workitem.)
2. What are the essential technical specifications for this this integration?
 a. Domino Server Platform
 b. Client Platform
 c. Domino Release
 d. Lotus Notes Client version
 e. Product/connector for the link.
3. What should I use for configuring the notification scenario?
 a. Extended Notifications
 b. RSWUWFML2
 c. SWN_SELSEN
Please provide answers on these.
Thank you very much. I'm generous in giving points.
Regards,
Reymar

Hi Akshay!
Am I right to affirm that according to what you've said, there is no Lotus Notes Connector needed for Lotus Notes and SAP Workflow integration?
I actually haven't tested yet the Extended Notification, but from your reply, I think you are confident enough to tell me that it is possible to have a link in the Lotus Notes mail and then this link could bring you to the Document and process it using,of course, the Extended Notification.
I'm very thankful. Have a nice day. And also, please share some notes on how too use the Extended Notification. (--,)

Lotus Notes and Network access slow

I'm new to this environment and when I arrived I notices that all switches are trunk to one 6509 core switch, which is fine. The 6513 switch is the server farm switch and also the aggregation switch. the issue is sometimes sme users Lotus Notes and Network access is really slow, uer need spend to 5 min to log in Lotus Notes. this problem is not always happen. lots of times whne i arrive users office, everytinh is fine. i check my network, i found the root of spanning tree is not 6509 core switch. is this the reason for network slow ?
please help me
thanks

You will need to ensure that spanning-tree is not
re-converging. You can do this by monitoring the logging on your switches and or syslogging. You could make the 6509 root bridge by giving it a
lower bridge value.
Spanning tree should converge and be stable, if it isn't then you need to make sure links are not coming up and down and that there are not deeper problems like loops etc. Make sure all your server links are switchport mode access and bpduguard. Things like that.
Check the links to the notes server for errors, ensure that they are the correct speed and duplex.
Use tools like ping to check round trip times to your notes server from the switch, then from an end
user.
Use a traffic sniffer like ethereal to ensure that the tcp conversations on port 1352 are timely)
A badly written view can cause big delays for your notes users.

Access lotus notes and retrive emails

After lots of searching, I haven't been able to find an answer to this question. I'm try to retrive emails from lotus note and filter the mails by date. any help or suggestions will be great. thank you

You should be able to access Lotus Notes using IMAP, have you got that working?
What exactly do you mean "filter by date"? You only want to retrieve messages
before/after a certain date? Use Folder.search.

My company uses Lotus Notes and I need the internet brower path for Firefox so that I can enter than into Lotus Notes for it to make Firefox my borwer of choice.

My company uses Lotus Notes and I want to set Firefox as my browser in LN. It ask for internet browser path...where do I find that?

Blackboard tends to update their software once a year, before the start of the fall term, and most of the time they seem to be a year behind the current versions of Firefox. Another problem that crops up with Blackboard is that not all schools use the latest version of the Blackboard software, many schools since 2008 have been postponing updates for the software that they use due to the economy.
Quite honestly, until Mozilla comes up with a Long Term Support version ''(if they do that)'' this situation of company's like Blackboard falling behind the curve of Firefox updates is only going to get worse.
As far as Lotus Notes goes, I wonder if your school is behind on updating that software? IIRC, I have seem mention of updates for Lotus Notes to handle remote XUL problems in 4.0+ versions, brought about by security fixes in 4.0. 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/using_remote_xul 
Or you could try this extension. 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remote-xul-manager/
Bottom line - install Firefox Portable 3.6.22 to your hard drive to use at websites that can't handle the newer versions of Firefox. 
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 
And use Firefox 6.0.2 ''(and upcoming versions)'' at the more modern websites which are embracing the web technology being developed for the 2nd decade of this century.

I use web mail from lotus notes and need Firefox to connect with my MacBook Pro. Since updating to version four I no longer have the ability to see or open attachements. What I am doing wrong?

I updated my MacBook Pro with version 4 yesterday. I access my company's lotus notes with this browser. I can access the web site, but cannot open attachments. The message I received is that I have removed the attachment. I haven't. The text that states the name of the attachment is there. I can click on it but it won't open and there is nothing in the attachment box in Web Mail.

Try the "light mode". Surprise :)

Urgent: Lotus Notes and TREX

Hi,
We are planning to use SAPs TREX to search for word documents and ppts embedded within Lotus Notes. However, we have a couple of queries regarding our requirement and would appreciate your help.
1) Is it possible to use the TREX server for indexing documents within Lotus Notes without an Enterprise Portal platform (For Ex., Is it possible to set TREX as the default search engine of Lotus Notes?)?
If the above is not feasible then please read requirement 2:
2) We are currently running Lotus Domino 6.5 and the portal platform is NW 04, SP15. I understand that there was a limitation of not being able to connect the portal with any Lotus Notes repository having version greater than 5.0.8. Does this restriction still exist?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and suitably rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Vibhu

Hello Vibhu,
regarding 1) in the notes client, the search button actually contains a dropdown. This dropdown list may also contain HTTP URLs (e.g. in the standard R6 client you find AIL, Altavista and some other search engines linked). You may think of adding the TREX URL also there
regarding 2) please use the KM repository manager by Conet for doing so. To do so, please take a look athe the portal Content portfolio here on SDN or direcly access the business packgage at:
https://www2.iviewstudio.com/sdn/detail_view/index.cfm?action=package_information&CatalogSet=Vendor%20Content&ItemID=17344&CFID=7410541&CFTOKEN=5471887

Connect Lotus Notes with ODBC driver

I am trying to figure out connecting SQL Developer with ODBC connection ( set on to ODBC Data Source ) for lotus notes. I am able successfully connect through Excel with that connection. With SQL Developer , its asking for JDBC driver but lotus notes version (R5) what I am using does not support JDBC driver.
Is there any way to connect using ODBC data source for lotus notes.

No.
SQL Developer is a Java based tool and requires JDBC. Theoretically you could use the JDBC-ODBC bridge, but there would be no point. SQL Developer is an Oracle specific development and query tool which allows connection to selected other DBMSs in order to support migration to Oracle. Lotus Notes is not one of the supported systems.
SQL Developer is NOT a general purpose, multi-DBMS tool.

Desktop Integration Suite, Lotus Notes and Linux

Hello
Can anybody answer my small question? Is there any possibility to use Lotus Notes client on Linux machines with UCM/ECM. Destkop Integration Suite components and client works with windows without any problems, but I can't find any information about Linux integration.
Thanks in advance

Desktop Integration Suite is a Windows-only client module. The client cannot be installed on a Linux desktop. From Windows, it should be able to connect and function with a UCM server installed on any supported OS including Linux.

Composite/Interactive Models and ERP 2005 SP05

We have downloaded the Composite/Interactive models developed for the MIC application. These allow direct input into the model by the user to update the ratings, report issues, and update the sign-off status. These models are based on a series of BAPIs beginning FOPC_ESA. These BAPIs were included with SP05 for ERP 2005. We currently are at SP04, and, because of interdependency with other projects currently being implemented, it will be impossible for us to go to SP05 at this time. Does anybody know of a way to load these BAPIs manually or through a Note, which would allow us to make use of these models?

Lotus notes and ODI

Hi,
I need integrated Lotus notes in ODI.
I read notes ID 424116.1:     "Is There A Technology For Lotus NOTES in ODI ? "
but I have problem realize the steps:
1. duplicate an existing Technology (for example, DBase) and rename the cloned version. This will be your Lotus NOTES Technology.
2. Reverse Engineer the Datatypes (please refer to the Documentation showing how this operation should be carried out).
3. Define a Conversion Matrix for the Datatypes
4. Once you have done this, it is then possible to use the standard ODI Knowledge Modules for the development of Integration Interfaces.
Can somebody send me details about steps 2 and 3?
I use Lotus NotesSQL ODBC Driver 8.0.x for Windows 2000, 2003, XP and configure ODBC data source.
