Lotus Notes target definitions represent metadata for Lotus Notes forms. A form defines the structure of a document.

Create a DSN to connect to the Domino server. The Designer connects to the Domino server to import metadata from Lotus Notes. Use the Import Lotus Notes Target Wizard to import a Lotus Notes target definition. You can filter the metadata that the Designer displays in the wizard.

When you import a target definition, you can configure the column attributes. You can define a column as a key field to apply update strategies. You can perform insert, update, and delete operations on the documents. You cannot modify the datatype of a column. After you import a target definition, you can view the column and datatype information. You can update the target definition in the Designer.
