How do Track Notes Users at Notes Server Console

Tracking Notes Users at the Notes Server it's a couple of NOTES.INI parameters that allow you to see the IP adresses of the people who are hitting your Notes server: Debug_Outfile = [path to a text/log file] DEBUG_TCP_ALL = 1 You'll have to restart your server for this to take effect. Log_Sessions=1 NOTES.INI setting. Logs to the console whenever a Notes client establishes a session with the server. Tells you who the user is, and on R5 also tells you what version of the client they're using. Show Users Debug Console command. Displays a little more

information about the Notes client users who are currently logged on. Tell HTTP Show Users Console command. If session-based tracking is enabled on an R5 server, this command shows the web users who are currently logged on.

2008 (3) October (3) How do Track Notes Users at Notes Server Console Explain DBColumn Explain DbLookUp

Explain DBColumn
@DbColumn( "ODBC" : cache ; data_source ; user_ID1 : user_ID2 ; password1 : password2 ; table ; column : null_handling ; "Distinct" : sort ) Parameters "ODBC" String argument. Indicates that you are accessing an ODBC data source. cache String argument. Optional. In the initial lookup, specify either "" or "NoCache." If the former case, subsequent lookups to the same data source, you can specify "ReCache." "" (null string) caches the results of the lookup. Each subsequent lookup to the same location (within the same Domino session and so long as the database executing this lookup remains open) reuses that data until you specify "ReCache." Cached data improves performance and may be a good choice for stable data.

"ReCache" refreshes the cache with the latest data from the database. If you want to ensure that this lookup gets the latest information, specify this option. Note "ReCache" is new with Release 6. "NoCache" gets the results of the lookup from the database; no cache is used. If you want to ensure that Lotus Domino retrieves the latest information for every lookup, specify this option. data_source Text. The name of the external data source being accessed. A data source indicates the location of one or more database tables. user_ID1 : user_ID2 Text list. The user IDs needed to connect to the external database. You may need up to two IDs, depending on the DBMS being accessed. password1 : password2 Text list. The passwords required by the user IDs. table Text. The name of the database table being accessed. column Text. The name of the column from which data is being retrieved. null_handling Text. Specifies how null values are treated when the data is retrieved. "Distinct" String argument. Optional. Removes duplicate values from the list before returning data. sort String argument. Specify "Ascending" to sort the list of values into ascending order before it is returned; specify "Descending" to sort the list in descending order. Return value valuesFound Text, number, date-time, or a list of these types. The values found in the column you indicated.

"data_source" Text. The name of the external data source being accessed. This name is specified as the dsn (data source name) in the Data Source Administrator or the odbc.ini file. A data source indicates the location of one or more database tables. "user_ID1" : "user_ID2" Text-list. The user IDs needed to connect to the external database. You may need up to two IDs, depending on the DBMS being accessed. "password1" : "password2" Text list. The passwords required by the user IDs. "table" Text. The name of the database table being accessed. "column" Text. The name of the column from which data is being retrieved. "null_handling" Text. Specifies how null values are treated when the data is retrieved. "key_column" Text. The name of the column used for key matching. "key" Text, number, or date-time, or a list. The value to be looked up in key_column. Use the Notes type that agrees with the type of the key column in the data source. "Distinct" String argument. Optional. Removes duplicate values from the list before returning data. See "Specifying Distinct." "sort" String argument. Sorts the list of values into either ascending or descending order before it is returned. See "Specifying sort."
