SERVICE PROVIDER


Using the Resource Reservations database in a hosted environment
You can create a Resource Reservations database that can be used for the service provider site and for all hosted organizations. This Resource Reservations database is created in the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ data directory.

To create the Resource Reservations database

1. Use the template RESRC60.NTF to create the Resource Reservations database.

2. After creating the database, open the new database.

3. Edit the database ACL as follows:

4. Close the database.

For information on creating a database, see the topic Creating a Database if you have installed IBM® Lotus® Notes® Help. Or, go to http://www.notes.net/doc to download or view Lotus Notes Help.

Caution Do not assign access rights and roles directly to a hosted organization. Because the Resource Reservations database is not automatically protected by an extended ACL, if you assign access rights and roles to a hosted organization, users in the hosted organization will be able to open the Resource Reservations database for other hosted organizations.

To create a Site Profile document to support a hosted organization

In the Resource Reservations database, each hosted organization is treated as a site. Create a Site Profile document for each individual hosted organization.

1. From the Domino Administrator, open the new Resource Reservations database.

2. To add a new hosted organization, click Add Site.

3. Enter the hosted organization name in the Site name field. Using the hosted organization name sets the extended ACLs on the Resource/Reservations database for the site, thereby preventing unauthorized users from accessing this database.

4. Enter the name of the hosted organization in the Domain name field.

5. Click Save and Close.

6. Add resources and reservations to the database.

For more information on the Resource Reservations database, see the topic Setting up the Resource Reservations database.
