ADMINISTRATION TOOLS

Specifying an administration server for databases
The Administration Process uses administration servers to manage administrative changes that apply to databases. Either the administrator or the database manager can specify the administration server for a database. Perform this procedure on an as-needed basis.

Note To change the administration server for a database, you must have Manager access to the database or be designated as a Full access administrator on the Security tab of the Server document.

1. From the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator, open the domain containing the server with the database for which you are setting an administration server.

2. From the Servers pane, select the server containing the database you are setting as an administration server.

3. Click the Files tab and then select the database to which you are assigning an administration server.

4. From the Tools pane, click Tools - Database - Manage ACL.

5. Click Advanced.

6. Complete these fields and then click OK:
