Lotus Notes as DataSource

Hello,
How is it possible to extract data from a Lotus Notes database into SAP BW? Since I know too little about Lotus Notes, therefore my questions: Which way of extraction has to be chosen: UDC, or something else? Which kind of database is LN, multidimensional, relational, or something else?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Ingo

Hi Peter
regarding your question about the Lotus Notes- BW integration, you should focus your attention on a Lotus Component called Lotus Enterprise Integrator (LEI) ( the previous Lotus Pump) that allows to export data to relational DB like Oracle etc. Whith this component i think it is possible to populate custom tables directly in Bw or external tables for DB Connect link whith BW.
Hope it helps

Connecting to Lotus Notes Mail database

I have Coldfusion 8. I am trying to connect to our Lotus Notes Mail database. I've installed the Lotus NotesSQL driver 8.0. I've created a DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. When I try to set the datasource in Coldfusion Administrator using "ODBC Socket" as the driver type, I get the following error:
Connection verification failed for data source: NotesAddress
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_DBC failed
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_DBC failed
Any help I can get on this would be much appreciated!

So I've got a slighty different problem, but maybe we
can help each other.
We're on Coldfusion 9 but I get the connection working fine the admin but as soon as the report writer comes into play
it's broke.
Save the password on the ODBC connection setting as well as in the coldfusion adim console and remember
that the user names aren't straight forward "UserName/Server/Company" as a exmaple!
Also you need to the the .id files and Notes installed on the machine.
Best way to test your ODBC connection before using it in Coldfusion is use excel to try and get the data from
the ODBC connection first. Once you've achieved that then setup the coldfusion connection.
Once you've achieved that see if you can help me I can connect and the ODBC and everything is OK but it
break as soon as we try and create a report with some Driver not capable problem I also need help. Hope
I've managed to help you.

How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes Scripts ?

 Hi all, How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes 7 Scripts ? Thank's 

Hi,
we are using Lotus Notes and Crystal Reports for preview and printing reports from our Lotus Notes Applications. We use the RDC object model. For previewing the reports we export them in an pdf-file and then start the PDF Reader to show the Preview. This works fine.
But with Crystal Reports > 11 the RDC Object Model is no longer supportet, so we look for another way to preview and print our reports.
I try to preview a report build with crystal report XI release 2 in my thick client (Lotus Notes) using java reporting component JRC, this report uses an native xml file as datasource. If the datasource is saved with the report everything works fine, but otherwise I have the following error:
JRCAgent1 detected an exception: javax.xml.namespace.QName: method getPrefix()Ljava/lang/String; not found
I also tried the .jars from Crystal4Eclipse. Doesn't work. When I use Eclipse to view the report everything works fine. The class QName exitsts in the jaxrpc.jar and in the xbean.jar, but only in the xbean.jar a Methode getPrefix exists.
This is what we tried:
Works fine with RDC. Doesn't work with JRC until now.
Did this help you ?
Perhaps you con help me with the JRC, because I'm a java newbee so any ideas could be helpful.

Unable to retreive data from Lotus Notes Database

Hi there,

I test connection in the Universe and it's working fine.
thanks,

Hi,
If you are trying to access the tables from a different user other than the user who created the table, then you have to enable the "Require fully qualified table names " check box. This check box will be available when you right click the "Datasource name".
Here is an example:
Lets assume Table1 is created by user1. If u try to access the Table1 using user2, you cannot access directly. Instead you need to access like "user1.table1".
Hope this resolves ur issue.

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?

Cisco Phone Control and Presence 8.6.1.1185 with IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.2 (Integrated Sametime Client 8.0.2) - No presence status visible

Hi community,
I am trying to integrate Cisco Unified Presence 8.6.1.10000-34 with IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.2 with the integrated Sametime Client version 8.0.2 via the Cisco Plugins 8.6.1.1185.
Phone control is working fine, whereas the presence status is not shown (= no handset symbol next to the Sametime user). When I look in the preferences of the plugin, I can see that the plugin has connected successfully to the CUCM (8.6.2.20000-2),whereas the connection to the CUPS has not been established.
The user id as well as the password are all the same on all systems. Here is a description of what I have configured via the ciscocfg.exe tool:
Feature Control:
- Enable Phone Status -> checked
- Enable Dial Using Cisco IP Communicator -> unchecked (not required)
- Enable Control Desk Phone -> checked
- Default Mode -> Control Desk Phone
Control Desk Phone Settings:
- Voicemail Pilot Number -> left blank (no voicemail)
- Cisco Unified Communications Manager
     - Servers -> IP address of CUCM
     - Read Only -> unchecked
     - Use as Default CUCM -> checked
     - Synchronize Credentials -> checked
          - Use Sametime Credentials -> checked
Use Secure Connection: -> not required
LDAP Phone Attributes: -> not required
Phone Status Settings:
- Cisco Unified Presence Servers -> IP address of CUPS
- Read Only -> unchecked
- Synchronize Credentials -> checked
     - Use Sametime Credentials -> checked
- Sametime User ID Mapping
     - Use Business Card Attribute -> MailAddress
     - Remove Domain -> checked
- Display Off-Hook Status Only -> unchecked
At the moment I don't see an error in the configuration, but maybe I am wrong. Could anyone please tell me what the error could be?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards,
Igor

Hi all,
here are some additions to my above post:
Servers and clients used:
1x CUCM 8.6.2.20000-2
1x CUPS 8.6.1.10000-34
1x IBM Lotus Domino Messaging Express Server 8.5.2
1x Sametime Entry Server 8.5.2 (on top of the Domino server)
2x IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.2 with integrated Sametime 8.0.2
2x Cisco Phone Control and Presence with Lotus Sametime (PCAP) 8.6.1.1185
2x Cisco Unified Personal Communicator 8.5.5.19839
Setup:
- CUCM, CUPS and CUPC are working fine, i.e. Desk Phone control via CUPC, as well as availability and presence status are working without issues
- IBM Lotus Domino server is the LDAP Directory, the Sametime Entry Server is installed on top of the Domino server and uses the Domino Directory
- User ID and password on CUCM/CUPS match the ShortName field and password in Domino
- The PCAP plug-in has been manually deployed to both Notes clients with the following configuration:
     - Enable Phone Status -> active
     - Desk Phone Control -> active
     - no credential synchronization for CUCM and CUPS, i.e. every user must fill the user details himself
     - Sametime User ID Mapping is implemented via the LDAP Attribute uid (which is equal to the user id in CUCM)
     - LDAP configuration filled in with details of the Domino server
Phone Control is working fine, also the connection to the LDAP server (Domino) is fine. However, when I type in the credentials for the CUPS server login, I can see (in Troubleshooting pane) that the user (pparker) is connected to the CUPS server for a short period of time and then gets disconnected. After that no connection is possible to the CUPS server, i.e. status is always disconnected.
I have collected the Tomcat (EPASSoap00010.log and security00010.log) logs via RTMT and compared them to the logs from the PCAP plugin. The relevant time period is from 15:14 to 15:17. In the Tomcat logs I can see that the authentication is successful (see attached files), however in the log of PCAP plugin I can see the following messages:
2012/02/03 15:14:35.281 WARNUNG Credential is rejected. Nothing to retry ::class.method=com.cisco.sametime.phonestatus.cup.CUPPresenceWatcher.answerChallenge() ::thread=CT_CALLBACK.1 ::loggername=com.cisco.sametime.phonestatus.cup

I don't understand why the connection is rejected although the Sametime Internal ID and CUPS User ID match. Does anyone know what the issue could be?
All posts are very much appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards,
Igor

Lotus Notes - email no longer converting

I am no longer able to successfully create pdfs (from either individual emails or folders) using the Acrobat toolbar button or the Acrobat choices added to the dropdown menu. All I receive now is "failed to convert" messages with no real information.
IT assures me that there have been no changes in Lotus Notes at our organization and I do not see anything from Adobe updates that could cause the problem.
I can still print choosing Adobe PDF as my printer, but this does not preserve attachments, a critical requirement for me.
Please help. This was an excellent way for me to archive and search my email.
Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.latest
Windows XP
Lotus Notes 6.5

There are no possible triggers that I know of. I was archiving my email once a month, give or take a week, so the timeframe for potential unwanted changes is long.
During that time I know there were Adobe product updates for my CS3 which I allowed. Also, our IT group can push out software updates remotely for Lotus Notes and other software, so all I have is their assurance that nothing changed.
This issue is happening for all mail items, for both the inbox and my user created folders.
Our Lotus Notes administrators will not support non-Notes software and our on-site IT was essentially out of ideas after the reinstallation did not solve anything.
I did find a non-Adobe workaround to export my email to Thunderbird (portable version) so I can at least have a way to archive and get my email off the system and server, but the Acrobat archive was much more efficient.

Is RoboHelp HTML 7 incompatible with Lotus Notes?

Has anyone noticed incompatibility between Lotus Notes mail
v6.1 and RoboHelp HTML v7.0? I've had LN installed for the lifetime
of this computer, ~3 yrs, and have worked with RH 7.0 for ~2 mns.
Just this week, I've had three instances of LN not opening after I
managed to crash RH. Rebooting worked the first time: the 2nd time,
I had to re-install LN; the 3rd time, rebooting worked.

Until Notes.6, I always suspected something was going on
between the two.
For many months, I haven't had any RH crashes I could blame
on LN.
If LN is doing any automatic stuff, try turning it off. Or,
as a test, close LN before you launch RH. Any crashes after that?
Automatic stuff means checking for new mail, alterting you
when new mail arrives, Calendar reminders, and so on.
I know, that's what LN is for, but you might find something
that always eluded me. For example, I turned off the new mail alert
long ago, but I can't prove a link.
Good luck.
Harvey
P.S. I should mention that sometimes I have LN and RH running
at the same time on one machine, but mostly I run them on separate
PCs. Still, I can't prove a link.

Sending an email from Lotus Notes release 5.0.4a

I need to write java code for sending an email from Lotus Notes release 5.0.4a.
Initially, I tried using Lotus Domino Toolkit for java, but the current release, "Lotus Domino ToolKit for Java/Corba release 5.0.8" is not compatible with the notes client/server we are using(5.0.4a).
Now, I am trying to use "Lotus Domino Toolkit 2.1" which supports notes version 5.0.3 and higher, but I couldnot find out how to use it to send email.
Is there are other way in which we can connect to Lotus Notes for sending email. I cannot use SMTP as the Lotus Notes administrator is afraid of security issues so there is no possibility that I can connect to Domino server using java mail API by enabling SMTP on the Domino server.
I would be thankful if somebody can help me to do this.

First off - This is very "off topic"
The Domino SMTP server is not hard to lock down. Any Notes Admin worth his/her salt should know how to do it. Try to persuade them to run the SMTP stuff using name and password authentication only, or restrict access to an IP address range. This is all easy stuff.
Otherwise DIIOP/CORBA is one way to go. If your toolkit jar files don't work with the server then try using the ones on the server. Look in %noteshome%\data\domino\java for the ncso.jar file.
This works for me on an AS/400 java VM to WinNT/Linux Domino servers of various versions.
How to create an email using this method is again not difficult. All you really need is a blank database template. You have to create a document with certain fields in it (all documented) and then save it. That's all there is to it.
Word of warning DIIOP is not very rapid and careless coding can create problems. Ensure that once you have finished a session you make sure you close it else you will have continual connection problems.
Try searching around the domino/notes groups on how to actually do this.

Error:When adding RDC runtime library (Crystal report XI R2) to Lotus notes

Background : We have reporting feature implemented in one of lotus notes application using crystal reports 6 (OCX) and as Crystal report is going to be upgraded to CR XI version in my organisation, we need to implement the same using RDC component available in crystal XI . we have installed Crytal report XI R2 - SP 6 version for testing the integration.
we are referring a document available on SAP web site(attached below) that illustrates the steps required to integrate the Crystal Reports® Report Designer Component into a Lotus® Dominou2122 application. http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/509b02de-a81e-2b10-f598-822b6d6f2024?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Steps which have been outlined for adding runtime library in lotus domino application is shown below:-
1. In Domino Designer, add a Form to the application.
2. In the programmeru2019s pane, go to the (Declarations) handler of the Form and enter:
Dim App As Variant, Dim Rep As Variant
3. Select Create | Object and select the u201CControlu201D radio button in the u201CCreate Objectu201D dialog box that comes up. From the list of controls, select u201CCrystal Report Viewer Control.u201D This adds the control to the Form.
4. Click on the control and select Edit | Properties. In the u201CAppletu201D properties dialog, select the u201CSize object to fit windowu201D radio button and then close the properties dialog.
We are getting an error message while trying to add 'Crystal Report Viewer Control' control (illustated in Step 3 above) in the lotus notes form . Error message which we get is 'An error has occured while processing a request on an object'.
Alternatively , we created the object of Crystal Report Viewer on lotus notes form by adding viewer object file (Crviewer.dll) from the file system after selecting the u201CObject from a fileu201D radio button in the u201CCreate Objectu201D dialog box and added following code in the postopen event of lotus notes form .
Set m_Viewer = Source.GetObject("Crystal Report Viewer Control")
Set App = CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
Set Rep = App.OpenReport(u201Cc:lotus
otes
ep.rptu201D)
Set m_Viewer.ReportSource = Rep
Again, when lotus notes form is opened , it gives error 'Variant does not contain object' at 'Set m_Viewer.ReportSource = Rep' .
Can any one suggest us any workaround or if iit is not possible in CR XI R2 into a Lotus® Dominou2122 application. Also, can any one provide us sample code if CR 2008 version can be integatred with lotus notes.

I believe, Lotus was never a "supported" development platform, though it did work - at one time or another. Eventually it did not and you are at that point. I think it was CR 10 where it started to be impossible to add the viewer to Lotus. This was never fixed and we never did find out if this was a Lotus thing or a CR thing.
Re. CR 2008 and Lotus. The RDC has been retired in CR 2008, so no luck there either for you. The only SDKs available in CR 2008 are for .NET and Java.

How do I add a Lotus Notes account to Entourage?

Hi there,
Our company uses Lotus Notes for email, and we recently got Lotus Notes Traveler set up on our iOS devices for email access via iPad/iPhones through Mail.
I'd like to know if it's possible to set up access to my Lotus Notes account through Entourage 2008. I'm guessing that it uses either IMAP or Exchange, but I haven't been able to find the right combination of settings to make it works. Before I spend too much time on this, I'd first like to know if it's even possible.
If it is, how would I go about doing it? My series of questions below:
1. How do I find out whether it's IMAP or Exchange? Please note that I CANNOT ask my administrator about anything in this message, so that is not an option.
2. Do I have to be on my company's domain to make this work? My Mac Lotus Notes client works fine and I'm currently not on the domain.
3. In the settings on my iPad (screenshot below - actual server names removed for obvious reasons), it says "Exchange Account" at the top, the under Server is lists "server.company.com/servlet/traveler and under Email is lists : "Firstname [email protected]/servlet/traveler" (space included on the name). Are these settings of any use in Entourage? Seems odd to me that the "Email" field isn't actually my email address (which is [email protected]).
4. If the settings ARE of use in Entourage, where would I insert them?
Any help or insight on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

It could potentially be a glitch with the servers when you have tried adding it. Although it may seem a silly suggestion have you done a battery pull (remove battery, wait 30 seconds and reinsert) - this may clear the problem.
A security wipe of the phone may also work but ensure you do a backup before hand. Otherwise a call to your mobile carrier to see if they can assist might be worth a try.

On two computers installed Desktop 7 and Lotus Notes crashed when I performed Organizer sync.

I upgraded to Desktop 7 on two very different computers. In both cases after following the prompts Lotus Notes crashed when I performed an organization sync. I sync calendar, memo and tasks 2 way and use defualts. Went back to (uninstalled 7) Desktop 6.1.0.36 and everything works fine now. We use Lotus Notes client 7.0.2
This is one of the most important features so it must work flawlessly. I use usb to sync. This is Windows XP 64 bit. I have another computer with same problem that is Windows XP 32 bit that use bluetooth to sync.
The Desktop Manager does not crash. Even if Lotus Notes Client is not running, while doing a sync I get display indicating that Lotus Notes crashed. It says it is sending diagnostic information to the admin but it stays there for hours and closer examination indicates no cpu cycles are being used. (SysInternals process explorer used to debug stuck threads - I am a software developer.)

That doesn't make sense, I used to go back and forth between my two computers and transfer music from each to my ipod. It was never a problem. Now with Itunes 7, it will not let me. Plus, I used to be able to drag playlists into the ipod and then the songs would transfer. Now when I drag up the playlists it won't let me drop them into the ipod. So . . . it can't be impossible to put music from two computers onto one ipod.

Sync Palm With Lotus Notes 8.5.1 Using EasySync 4.2.7: Calendar does not show location

I have a Garmin iQue3600, which is basically a Palm III with a GPS built in. I could sync my Outlook 2007 contacts and calendar flawlessly. (Palm Sync 6.0.1, Palm Desktop 4.1.4). Company was purchased, now we are using Lotus Notes 8.5.1. No native Palm support, so I tried EasySync 4.2.7. This actually works pretty well, except that the calendar entries do not sync the location of the meeting; this is rather important to me.
Is there a setting somewhere that can fix this? Years ago I used Intellisync to do this, but that company is gone now.
Someone suggested Companionlink, but the on-line reviews for that product are pretty bad.
Thank you.

Lisa,
Welcome to the Palm forums and thanks for that great feedback!

Shared Mailbox migrating from Lotus Notes to Exchange

We currently have Lotus Notes and in the process of migrating to Exchange Server 2010. We are using the Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange and the Quest Coexistence Manager for Notes tools.
One of the issues we’re coming across is Shared Mailboxes..
Currently in Notes we have:
Signatures as part of the NSF file so they are included with every email – how will Outlook clients behave for Shared Mailboxes? Because we want the same Signature to be part of every email sent from a shared mailbox regardless of which user sent the email.
We are aware that if we use OWA we won’t have this problem, but how do we configure Signatures for Shared Mailboxes using Outlook clients?
Stationary: We have Stationery linked to our Shared Mailbox accounts, so for example, in our helpdesk mailbox, we have stationary documents/templates we send to end users who email our helpdesk asking a FAQ. Opposed to pointing users to SharePoint, how
do we tackle this in Outlook? Is there options?
Thanks
Ray

Hi,
1. you can use transport rule to have same signature when from field contains shared mailbox email address.
2. Sorry, I don't understand your second question.
