After implementing MarvelClient Roaming, an administrator might recognize that some specific Notes settings are reported by users to not being roamed.
This is due to technical limitations and because of the way some settings are stored within certain areas/files of the IBM Notes client. The following list describes which settings are not roamed by default:

...

To roam these settings anyway panagenda provides two agents which can be configured to only roam what's desired by setting some MC references.
Please note that these references can also be combined to i. e. roam toolbars and layouts but not column orders, etc.
The location for downloading said agents is mentioned further down in this article.

 


1) Configuring the agents to roam the desired settings
This is done by creating an INI action which is writing specific MC references for the agents to read. The following settings are available and we recommend to always set all of them to their desired values to be most flexible.

...

mc:bmroam_bm_history_enabled= true or false (default) - for links out of the bookmark.nsf history

3) Extend your roaming action to roam back the additional export files from the MarvelClient backupset
Depending on what you want to roam, you will need to include the corresponding files in your roam back action to be put into the proper location for import.

4) Create a RunAgent action to execute the Roaming enhancement EXPORT agent (DXLRAWExport)

Both, the Export and Import Agents are provided by panagenda free to use for any MarvelClient Roaming customer. They're part of the agents that come with the MC Analyze database design.
In the agent action which is described as followed, please select the MC Analyze database from one of your Domino servers and pick the DXLRAWExport agent from the list:
