13. IBM Notes

To index NSF files, IBM Notes 8.5 or higher is required. Only the application files are necessary, IBM Notes does not have to be fully setup to be used by Intella. In principle, all IBM Notes 8.5.x versions or later can be used, but the following versions will produce a warning and are therefore not recommended:

  • 8.5.3 FP 3
  • 8.5.3 FP 4
  • 8.5.3 FP 5
  • 9.0

These versions contain a bug described in http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/fixlist.nsf/8ed1b46cfdba8957852570c90054623b/1bb3ba83668440a585257c130041f403?OpenDocument that cause emails with multiple “Received” headers to be altered: all Received headers will get the value of the first header. At the time of writing IBM Notes 9.0.1 was available, in which this bug has been fixed.

To index files made with IBM Notes 9.x, we recommend installing IBM Notes 9.x.

Important

Intella Connect needs to know the location of IBM Notes to validate ID files in keystore. To set IBM Notes path in Intella Connect go to Settings > IBM Notes to check if the location is validated.

Important

Intella Node needs to know the location of IBM Notes to index NSF files. To set IBM Notes path in Intella Node go to Servers > Nodes > Node configuration > IBM Notes to check if the location is validated.

Click Validate button to ensure that Intella Connect or Intella Node can locate the IBM Notes program files on the system. The status is shown above the Validate button.

If validation fails, adjust the path to the IBM Notes folder in the Path field and click Apply.

During Notes validation Intella Connect will check the Notes version. Versions listed above are not recommended, so to enable use of such non-recommended Notes versions, select the Enable using unsupported version of IBM Notes checkbox.
