This document describes For Notes and Domino V12, please continue with Enabling MarvelClient Essentials from the Domino Directory.
The below instructions describe how to enable , but not deploy MarvelClient Essentials in an environment with IBM HCL Notes client clients >= 10.0.1 and < 12.
For Notes 9.x clients, you need to also deploy the client binaries - in that case, please see Rollout of panagenda MarvelClient to Multiple End Users.
HCL Domino Policies
To enable the readily included client component in HCL Notes 10.0.1 and up using HCL Domino Policies, simply create a desktop settings policy (or add to an existing one) as follows:
1.) Click on the Custom Settings tab. On the notes.ini tab, enter
Item: $MarvelClientEnabledViaPolicy
Value: 1
NOTE: The $MarvelClientEnabledViaPolicy item name does not have any particular meaning or serve any purpose as such - you could also set "ChuckNorrisLovesMC" to 1. What you cannot do is use EXTMGR_ADDINS as the item name, since it must be in the specific formula exclusively.
2.) Click on Add/Modify Value >> to add the new setting to the list of notes.ini entries to manage (3.).
Next, click on OK and then enter the following Machine specific formula (thank you to Alex Marocchi from Leitstelle Tirol for the SetOnce tip on Sep 26, 2019!):
@if(@lowercase(@left(@platform;3))="mac";
"EXTMGR_ADDINS=libpmc.dylib: SetOnce";
@lowercase(@left(@platform;3))="win";
"EXTMGR_ADDINS=pmc.dll: SetOnce";"")
Save and close the policy document.
NOTE: if you are adding to an existing Policy and there is already a machine specific formula, then you need to adjust the formula accordingly or simply create a new desktop settings Policy document.
NOTE: the above configuration will remove any other registered EXTMGR_ADDINS – Policies cannot add to already existing entries. If you need to preserve existing entries, please use one of the following two options:
Mailbased Install or (Mailbox or other database's) PostOpen Script
