Integration with a New Notes Installation

If you are deploying a centralized Notes installation for the first time, CA DataMinder amends the ‘base instance’ of notes.ini. You must then copy this base instance to all users’ home drive (as recommended by IBM—see the note below).

  1. Run a shared installation of Notes on the terminal server or Citrix server.
  2. Install the CA DataMinder Notes client agent on the terminal server or Citrix server.
  3. CA DataMinder uses the Path registry value to locate and edit the ‘base instance’ notes.ini. You do not need to manually update notes.ini to reference the wgnemno.dll add-in (see above).

    Find this registry value in the following registry key on the terminal server or Citrix server:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lotus\Notes\6.0
    
  4. Copy the base instance notes.ini to each user’s home drive.

Note: For Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame implemented on IBM Netfinitity Servers, IBM provide recommended installation procedures for Lotus Notes. For details, visit www.redbooks.ibm.com.
