How to configure Lotus Notes? Kongo Jack 06-23-2006

 I just installed the Lotus Notes Plugin 1.0 along with Windows Desktop Search
02.06.5000.5378.

I've added the notes://localhost/ to search locations.

I didn't change anything on Lotus Notes 6.5. I already used GDS E to search
within my local archives.

But the Windows Desktop Search does not index my Lotus Archive? Are there
any special requirements regarding the archives (unencrypted, ... )?

 I am experiencing exactly the same problem. Anyone have a suggestion on how
to get this to work? I don't like using Notes, but I unfortunately have no
choice...

In WDS Indexing Options (click Browse) you should have a node for Notes.
Make sure you have that checked.
Also you may want to try loading the hotfix on the download site. It will
update you to version 2.6.5.5401. I believe there were some fixes for Notes
in the hotfix.

hth,

Jeff

I rechecked that I really added Notes to the search index and also upgraded
WDS to 02.06.5000.5401 but still it does not index my Emails.

After enabling the Index Status window, I see that WDS tries to index it,
but actually does not. Especially that WDS does not ask for the password
makes me wonder.

My Lotus Notes Client (6.5.4) is always open and I replicate every 15 Minutes.

Hi Kongo,

I see 2 quick reasons for your Notes mails not getting indexed:
1. The mail database file you want to index is actually "archived" and NOT
"replicated". By "archived" i mean that the mail nsf is located in the folder
"data\archive\<mail>.nsf" and NOT in "data\<mail>.nsf" OR
"data\mail\<mail>.nsf". And since the Notes plugin will only index the mails
located at the data folder location, your archive folder will not get indexed.
Unfortunately, That's a limitation of the plugin.

2. You have NOT checked the option "Dont prompt for password from any
external application" in the user preferences in Lotus Notes client.

Just check these two things and if it still does not help, please let me know.

Cheers!!
