The Lotus Notes Connector performs full and incremental crawls over a Lotus Domino server and will extract security, metadata, and content from each object scanned. The connector allows you to select which application databases will be included in the crawl. Each scanned object will be tagged with one of three possible actions--add, update, or delete--and can be routed to any Aspire pipeline as desired.
The connector, once started, can be stopped, paused or resumed. Typically the start job will contain all information required by the job to perform the scan. When pausing or stopping, the connector will wait until all the jobs it published have completed before updating the statistics and status of the connector.
Configuration
This section lists all configuration parameters available to install the Lotus Notes Application Bundle and to execute crawls using the connector.
General Application Configuration
Property | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
snapshotDir | string | ${aspire.home}/snapshots | The directory for snapshot files to be stored. |
disableTextExtract | boolean | false | By default, connectors use Apache Tika to extract text from downloaded documents. If you wish to apply special text processing to the downloaded document in the workflow, you should disable text extraction. The downloaded document is then available as a content stream. |
workflowReloadPeriod | int | 15m | The period after which to reload the business rules. Defaults to ms, but can be suffixed with ms, s, m, h or d to indicate the required units. |
workflowErrorTolerant | boolean | false | When set, exceptions in workflow rules will only effect the execution of the rule in which the exception occurs. Subsequent rules will be executed and the job will complete the workflow sucessfully. If not set, exceptions in workflow rules will be re-thrown and the job will be moved to the error workflow. |
debug | Boolean | false | Controls whether debugging is enabled for the application. Debug messages will be written to the log files. |
Lotus Notes Specific Configuration
Element | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
url | string | The URL to crawl. | |
userName | String | username | The user name to connect to Lotus Notes with. |
password | String | secretpassword | The password to connect to SharePoint with. |
defaultDisplayName | String | notes | The name of the crawl, if one is not given in the control job. |
snapshotDir | String | . | The directory for snapshot files. |
waitForSubJobsTimeout | long | 600000 (=10 mins) | Scanner time out while waiting for published jobs to complete. |
scanRecursively | boolean | false | Indicates whether the child containers should be scanned or not. |
indexContainers | boolean | false | Indicates whether the container items should be indexed or not. |
indexMailDbs | boolean | false | Indicates whether the connector should crawl mail databases inside Lotus Notes. |
useLDAPCache | boolean | false | Check for an installed "Aspire LDAP Cache" component for group expansion. |
externalGroupServerPath | string | empty | List of installed "Aspire LDAP Cache" components. |
