Lotus Notes Sources Overview

Lotus Notes source definitions represent metadata for Lotus Notes forms, views, independent documents, and mail databases.

You can import the following Lotus Notes components as source definitions:

Forms. Define the structure of a document. Forms contain fields that collect and display information. A document is associated with a form and contains fields. Fields have attributes such as datatype, precision, and scale.

Views. Group and display documents based on filter criteria. For example, you can define a view to display all documents created by a specific author. A view is similar to a table in a relational database.

Independent documents. Include all documents in a Notes database.

Mail databases. Store email data for a Lotus Notes email application.

Create a Data Source Name (DSN) in the Designer. A DSN contains information to connect to the Domino server. Use the Import from Lotus Notes Source Wizard to import a Lotus Notes source definition. When you import a source definition, you can filter the metadata you want to display in the Designer.

After you import a source definition, you can view the columns and datatype information. You can preview data and update the source definition.
