Discovering and selecting objects
After connecting to the Domino server, you can run a query to search for the required databases. You can browse through the tree of discovered objects to understand the structure of objects in the Lotus Domino server, and also use filters to display only the database objects that you want to see.
You must have successfully connected to the Lotus Domino server.
You must have a clear understanding of the data requirement of the program that needs to access the database.
This task starts in the Find Objects in the Enterprise System window of the external service wizard.
Procedure
- In the Find Objects in the Enterprise System window, click Edit Query to modify the existing query
as per your requirements. Type the database and form value to filter
the databases and form matching the pattern. The database and form
value take a wildcard pattern. The default value is *, where all databases or forms are displayed in the Discovered objects pane.
The * and ? are valid wildcard
characters, with * representing more than one character and ? representing a single character.
Figure 1. Specifying the query properties
- Optional: Configure additional details for the business object:
- In the Specify the Query Properties window, select the Set additional configuration properties while selecting an object check box.
- Click OK after entering all the data in the Specify the Query Properties window.
- Click Run Query. The databases matching
the pattern entered in the query properties window is displayed in the Discovered objects pane.
Figure 2. Specifying the configuration properties
To restore an expired database connection, restart the external service wizard.
- In the Discovered objects list, click + (the plus sign) to expand a node, to see the form names discovered by the wizard.
- Select the required objects from the Discovered
objects listing and use the (Add)
button to add them to the Selected objects listing.
- If you are configuring additional details for the business object, in the Configuration Properties window, you need to run this step. The Configuration Properties window is displayed only if Set additional configuration properties while selecting an object check box in the Specify the Query Properties window is selected and a form name from Discovered objects is moved to Selected objects.

- Select the form fields which you want to generate in the business object schema. This step is helpful in cases where a form contains many fields but your integration scenario needs only few fields. Click Remove to remove the fields that are not required. You can also add the field again by clicking Add. By default, all the form fields are generated in the business object schema.
- Select the Generate complex item check boxes for the form fields for which you need more information. During run time, more detailed information (information about IsSummary, IsEncrypted, IsReaders) is displayed for each item. For more information about the business object structure see, Table 5.
- Click Generate all fields as basic items to reset the values to default.
- Click Next.
Results
The wizard displays the document objects that you have selected to be used by the adapter.
What to do next
Continue working in the external service wizard. The next step is to select the objects you want to use in your module, configure each business object, and create hierarchies of business objects.
