Lotus Domino Administrator 8 Help - Creating and replicating a directory assistance database

DIRECTORY SERVICES

Creating and replicating a directory assistance database
Create a directory assistance database on one server, and then create a replica of the database on each server in the domain that will use it for directory assistance. A server can use one directory assistance database only.

1. From the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator, create the database:

Choose File - Application - New to open the "New Application" dialog box.
Enter the name of the server on which to create the database.
Enter a title for the database -- for example, Directory Assistance. You can enter any title.
Enter a file name for the database -- for example, DA.NSF. You can enter any file name with the extension .NSF.
Click "Show advanced templates."
Click Template Server and select a server that stores the Directory Assistance template (DA50.NTF).
Select the Directory Assistance template (DA50.NTF) from the list of templates.
Keep "Inherit future design changes" selected.
Click OK.

2. Create a replica of the directory assistance database on each server that will use it.

Tip

Using the same file name and path for the replicas on each server makes it easy to use the Administration Process to add the file name and path to Server documents.

3. Create Connection documents to schedule replication of the database to all the servers that will use it.

4. Continue to the procedure "Setting up servers to use a directory assistance database."
