Dynamic configurations that automatically adapt to every end-user’s IBM Notes client are a basic requirement for flexible and scalable management of IBM Notes/Domino environments.
Two examples:
To fulfill such requirements, MarvelClient provides so called References and Placeholders:
References can be used universally in virtually any Action and Condition in the Configuration database and are resolved PRIOR TO THE EXECUTION of an Action. |
Examples for References | |
---|---|
<notes:um_server> | Resolves the user's home/mail server via NameLookup (fallback = mailserver in current location) when executing an Action or resolving a Condition |
<notes:version_major> | Resolves the major version of the Notes client, e.g. 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10. |
<ini:Location> | Resolves the notes.ini variable "Location" |
<env:Computername> | Resolves the operating system environment variable "Computername" |
Placeholders are primarily used for generic notes.ini variables (e.g. MC_DB=%notes_homeserver%!!panagenda\panagenda.nsf) and for a handful of special Actions in the Configuration database (e.g. Backup, Roaming, and Location Actions). |
Examples for Placeholders | |
---|---|
%notes_homeserver% | Used to generically point each user to her/his respective mail server for the MarvelClient Configuration database in notes.ini, e.g. MC_DB=%notes_homeserver%!!panagenda\panagenda.nsf |
%LOOKUP_MAILFILE% | Used to lookup a user's mailfile path in the public adressbook |
