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: 

    • Adding the public names and address book to the workspace of every end user:
      Without a dynamic configuration, one MarvelClient Action would have to be created for each and every mail server.
      Using a dynamic configuration, it is just one Action that automatically adapts to every end-user’s mail server according to the current location of each user.
    • Backing up client data to a network drive into a sub-directory “operation system username” – here, too, a variable is needed.

Note

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.
NOTE that if resolving a reference fails, the respective Action and any Action referencing this Action will NOT be executed.
Also note that ini: and env: references never fail but return an empty string ("" without quotes) if a variable is not set.


Examples for References
<notes:um_server>Resolves the user's home/mail server
from the
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
9
10.
<ini:Location>Resolves the notes.ini variable "Location"
<env:Computername>Resolves the operating system environment variable "Computername"

 

 

Note

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).
Placeholders are replaced when reading a corresponding notes.ini entry, respectively DURING THE EXECUTION of an Action.
NOTE that if resolving a placeholder fails, the respective Action is still executed.


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
addressbook
adressbook
