LO59662: STARTING IN NOTESSQL 8.5, NOTESSQL IS NOT ABLE TO USE A DOMINO N OTES.INI TO CONNECT

APAR status

• Closed as returned (APAR cannot be resolved without additional info from IBM or customer.)

Error description

• The NotesSQL documentation clearly states that we can use either
  a Notes Client
  or a Domino Server notes.ini to connect to Domino.  In NotesSQL
  3.0.2, this
  worked using either option.  Once the customer upgraded to
  Domino 8.5 and
  NotesSQL 8, using a Domino Server notes.ini now fails.
  The Domino server is local to the NotesSQL driver, and the path
  statement is
  correct.  There is no error, but the no servers appear in the
  dropdown list when
  creating the DSN.
  
  Once a Notes Client was installed, and the path statement
  changed to point to
  the Client's notes.ini, it began working normally.
  

Local fix

• Install a Notes Client local to the NotesSQL driver, and use the
  client's
  notes.ini instead.
