This documentation provides information about the administration tools for HCL Domino.
This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring servers and databases.
Topics in this section describe the tools you can use to administer a Domino® server.
The Administration Process is a program that automates many routine administrative tasks.
Managing administration process requests involves approving requests, forcing requests when they must be processed immediately, and checking the Administration Requests database for errors.
Welcome to the HCL Domino® 14.5 documentation.
Learn about all of the new features for administrators in HCL Domino® 14.5.
Welcome to HCL Domino® Administrator Help.
Use this documentation to install theHCL Domino® server and subsequently deploy theHCL Notes®client.
Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
Use this information to configure your network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters.
This section describes security features, including execution control lists, IDs, and TLS.
The AdminCentral application (admincentral.nsf) is automatically created by adminP on the Domino administration server. You can open AdminCentral directly from your Notes Standard or Nomad web client, without the need to start Domino Administrator. This application provides a simplified and easy-to-use way of managing fully functional Notes users and groups in a Domino deployment.
The Domino® Administrator is the administration client for Notes® and Domino. You can use the Domino Administrator to perform most administration tasks.
The Server Controller is a Java-based program that controls a Domino® server. Starting the Server Controller starts the Domino server it controls. When a server runs under a Server Controller, you can send operating system commands, Controller commands, and Domino server commands to the Server Controller.
Choosing the administration server for the Domino® Directory depends on your network setup, the available equipment, and the anticipated changes that will be made to the Domino Directory via the Administration Process.
You complete a set of tasks to set up the Administration Process.
Domino® supports the use of secondary Domino Directories for maintaining user names and groups that you want to store in a directory other than your primary Domino Directory,NAMES.NSF. For example, you may want to maintain Notes® users with Notes IDs inNAMES.NSF, but maintain Web-only users in a secondary Domino Directory.
The Administration Process for the Domino® Directory must be set up on a server in each domain.
Each administrator who uses the Administration Process to perform tasks must have the appropriate access rights and roles in the Domino® Directory (NAMES.NSF), secondary directories -- if applicable, Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF), and the Certification Log database (CERTLOG.NSF).
The Access Control List (ACL) dialog box for Notes® (.NSF) applications contains anAdministration Server field and anAction field on the Advanced panel. Use caution when modifying these fields.
Use the views in the Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF) to sort and examine requests in many ways.
There are two situations that are unique to user name change requests. One situation generates a request to revert to the original user name, another situation generates a request to retract the user's name change. You are required to accept or reject these requests whenever they are posted to Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF).
Check the Administration Requests database daily for requests that require approval.
You can force an administration process request to run by issuing a command from the Domino® server console.
Check the Administration Requests database daily for errors that appear in response Log documents marked with a red X.
You can attempt to reprocess a failed administration process request.
You can customize the Administration Process.
Use Administration Quick (AdminQ) to expedite the processing of Administration Process (AdminP) requests that affect the user IDs of web users, for example, HCL Verse users. The users must have IDs in an ID vault.
The Administration Process records statistics to help you monitor the request processing activity of the administration process tasks.
The response Log documents in the Administration Requests database contain error messages that describe any errors that occur during the processing of an administration request. Error messages also appear on the console of the administration server. Administrators who want to be notified when one of these events occurs on a server, can create an Event Handler document inEVENTS4.NSF to define how they want to be notified.
An administration request is created by the administrator performing an action; it represents an administration task and is run by the server task AdminP (Administration Process). When an administration request is generated, it appears in the Administration Requests database.
This section describes the Domino® server commands that are available, as well as methods of issuing those commands.
The information in this topic describes Domino® server tasks and their defaults in theNOTES.INI file.
You can useIBM® i server commands to manage Domino® withIBM i.
The Administration Process helps you manage users by automating many of the associated administrative tasks. For example, if you rename a user, the Administration Process automates changing the name throughout databases in the Notes® domain by generating and carrying out a series of requests, which are posted in the Administration Requests database.
This section describes how to use the tools and features that help you monitor a Domino® system.
Manage Domino® servers by performing any of these tasks.
Topics in this section describe how to set up and manage Domino® databases.
Use this information to improveHCL Domino® server,Domino Web server, and messaging performance through the use of resource balancing and activity trends, advanced database properties, cluster statistics, and the Server Health Monitor.
This section describes how to find and solve problems withHCL Domino® server and Administrator client.
Managing administration process requests involves approvingrequests, forcing requests when they must be processed immediately,and checking the Administration Requests database for errors.
