Deployment and configuration of the WALD inbound extension manager

The adapter provides for deployment and configuration of the WALD inbound extension manager on the Lotus® Domino® server. When you deploy the extension manager, the adapter is able to monitor the create, update, and delete events in the Domino database.

Deployment of the inbound extension manager

You can deploy the inbound extension manager on Windows, AIX®, Linux, and Solaris systems. After you deploy the required files, you can monitor the events in the specified databases in the Lotus Domino server.

The following steps describe how to deploy the required files for extension manager on the different operating systems.

Copy the required library file into the Lotus Domino server installation directory. See Table 1 to know the operating system-specific library file name.
Table 1. Operating system-specific library file
Library file name Supported operating systems

waldinbound.dll Windows

libwaldinbound_r.a AIX

libwaldinbound.so

Linux
Solaris

Table 1. Operating system-specific library file
Library file name	Supported operating systems
waldinbound.dll	Windows
libwaldinbound_r.a	AIX
libwaldinbound.so	Linux Solaris

Edit the notes.ini file in your Domino directory and add the required line as given in Table 2.

Table 2. Add the extension manager line as per the operating system
Extension manager lines	Supported operating systems
`EXTMGR_ADDINS=waldinbound`	Windows
`EXTMGR_ADDINS=libwaldinbound_r.a`	AIX
`EXTMGR_ADDINS=libwaldinbound.so`	Linux Solaris

Copy the waldinbound.nsf file into your Domino data directory.
Restart the Lotus Domino server.
Note: You must restart the Lotus Domino server each time you update these files:
- waldinbound.dll
- libwaldinbound_r.a
- libwaldinbound.so
- waldinbound.nsf
Click Configuration for WALD Inbound in the left pane to configure the databases that are to be monitored.
Click EventView in the left pane to see the generated events.

Configuration of the inbound extension manager

You can configure the inbound extension manager by setting up different configuration parameters. The steps here describe the process of setting up the configuration parameters.

Open the waldinbound.nsf database in the Lotus Domino server through Lotus Notes®.
Click EventTriggerConfigurationView. You can create or edit an event trigger configuration view to configure a monitored Form.
Figure 1. Editing the WALD inbound event trigger configuration

Click Edit Document to edit the existing event trigger configuration of the WALD inbound extension manager. The parameters available for configuration are described in Table 3.

Note: The event trigger configuration overwrites the Connector ID, Database Paths, and Event Types fields of configuration document.

Table 3. Event trigger configuration parameters for WALD inbound extension manager
Configuration parameter	Description
Connector ID	The connector ID item that is used as the value of `Connector ID` field of the generated event.
Database Paths	The database paths and forms that are monitored by the WALD inbound extension manager. The semicolon ; is used as a separator between different configuration values. You can use either comma or semicolon as a separator to add another configuration value. The colon: is used as a separator between a database path and a form. For example, SampleDatabase.nsf:Employee;PlanDatabase.nsf implies that the form `Employee` in the database, SampleDatabase.nsf, and the whole database PlanDatabase.nsf are monitored.
Event Types	The event types that are monitored by the WALD inbound extension manager. The event types can be: Create Update Delete You can configure the event monitoring by selecting the required events types.

Click SystemConfigurationView to edit the existing logging configuration.

Click Edit Document to edit the existing system configuration of the WALD inbound extension manager. The parameters available for configuration are described in Table 4.

Note: The values set in the system configuration overwrite the Log Level field of configuration document.

Table 4. Log configuration parameters for WALD inbound extension manager
Configuration parameter	Description
Log level	The type of information that is logged during the WALD inbound processing. The log level can be: NONE ERROR INFO DEBUG
Log outputs	The targets where you can log the information. The log can be logged to the following targets: Console log.nsf

Click ConfigurationView.
Note: When both event trigger configuration documents and configuration document are available, the adapter uses the event trigger configuration document to trigger the events.

Click Edit Document to edit the existing configuration of the WALD inbound extension manager. The parameters available for configuration are described in Table 5.

Note: The configuration done using the ConfigurationView is a configuration document used only for WALD version 7.0. When either EventTriggerConfigurationView or SystemConfigurationView is configured, the existing configuration values of configuration document are overwritten.

Table 5. Configuration parameters for WALD inbound extension manager
Configuration parameter	Description
Connector ID	The connector ID item that is used as the value of `Connector ID` field of the generated event.
Database Paths	The database paths and forms that are monitored by the WALD inbound extension manager. The semicolon ; is used as a separator between different configuration values. You can use either comma or semicolon as a separator to add another configuration value. The colon: is used as a separator between a database path and a form. For example, SampleDatabase.nsf:Employee;PlanDatabase.nsf implies that the form `Employee` in the database, SampleDatabase.nsf and the whole database PlanDatabase.nsf are monitored.

Log level	The type of information that is logged during the WALD inbound processing. The log level can be: NONE ERROR INFO DEBUG

Click Configuration for WALD Inbound to view all the configuration documents.
Note: The event trigger configuration and system configuration overwrite the configuration document of WALD version 7.0.
