Domino Connection
Use the Domino mail part settings window to determine the
properties of a mail part. A non-visible mail part is used to create
Domino documents to be mailed by the Domino mail system.
A mail part can be set up to match a Domino form of a specific database
(normally the mail file of a user), which can be achieved by specifying the
appropriate Domino connection alias and the form
name on the settings pages.
You also have to connect the Domino mail part to a mailbox database.
You do this by specifying a second connection alias on the appropriate
settings page. Depending on your Domino setup, the mailbox database may
be local or on your mail server. Please ask your system administrator
if you are nor sure where your mailbox is located. Specifying the wrong
mailbox will prevent the part from functioning properly.
Use the Domino mail part settings window General tab
to specify the Domino connection alias for the personal mail database you will
be working with. After you select a connection alias, the part will try
to connect to this database and retrieve all available Domino form
names. The form names will be available in the form name drop-down
list. Selecting a particular form name will provide the form part with
all fields defined in this form. If you want automatic error reporter
creation, you can select the Automatic check box.
