Accessing sessions

The NotesSession class provides a means for accessing attributes of the user environment and persistent information about agents. It also provides methods for accessing environment variables.

The user environment is either:

• The server or workstation containing the script's database for an agent whose trigger is "After new mail has arrived" or "On schedule."
• The workstation of the current user in all other cases.

A script has only one Domino® session, so successive calls to the New method return the same session handle. You do not need the session handle to access databases or perform other operations in Domino Designer, only to access the session properties and methods.
