Pending Administrator ApprovalRequests that are pending the approval by the administrator. There are additional views associated with this view. They are:
  • Pending by Age -- Shows all requests that are pending administrator approval, sorted by the number of days that the request has been in ADMIN4.NSF awaiting approval. Requests are sorted in increments such as 7 days, 14 days, and so forth, up to requests older than 90 days.
  • Pending by Server -- Shows all requests that are pending administrator approval, sorted by the name of the server on which the request will be processed.
Note When you open ADMIN4.NSF from the Domino Directory, the "Individual Administrator Approval" view is listed here instead of as a separate view.
The Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF) also contains these processing options that are available as buttons on the administration requests, according to whether to processing option applies to a particular request.
New Processing OptionDescription
Remove from ViewThe "Remove From View" button appears in the "Administration Attention Required," "all Errors by Date" and "All Errors by Server" views in ADMIN4.NSF and is used to remove one or more requests from these views after an administrator has attended to the warning or reported error. Select the request that you want to remove from the view and click "Remove From View."
Reprocess Selected RequestsThe "Reprocess Selected Requests" button appears in the "All Errors by Date" and "All Errors by Server" views in ADMIN4.NSF and is used to reprocess one or more requests that previously failed during processing. Select the requests that you want to reprocess and click "Reprocess Selected Requests."
Complete Move for selected entriesThe "Complete Move for selected entries" button appears in the "Name Move Requests" view of ADMIN4.NSF and is used to complete a move to another hierarchy for one of more requests. If multiple requests are selected, the destination hierarchy must be the same for all of them. Select the requests that you want to complete and click "Reprocess Move for selected entries."
To view documents in the Administration Requests database, you can use either the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator or the Web Administrator.
