CONFIGURING
After you create a directory assistance database and replicate it to servers, set up the servers to use the database. To set up a server to use a directory assistance database, add the file name of the server's replica of the database to the Directory assistance database name field of the server's Server document in the primary Domino® Directory.
About this task
Use the Administration Process to automate adding a directory assistance database file name to multiple Server documents -- the Administration Process creates a Set Directory Assistance Field request to add the file name. Or enter the file name of the directory assistance database to Server documents manually.
Using the Administration Process to add the directory assistance database file name to multiple Server documents
To use the Administration Process to add a directory assistance database file name to multiple Server documents:
Procedure
1. Make sure that you:
3. Next to Use Directory on, select the administration server for the Domino Directory.
4. In the navigation pane, click Server -> All Server Documents.
5. Select the Server documents for all servers that use the same file name for the directory assistance database. A check mark appears next to each document.
6. Choose Actions -> Set Directory Assistance Information.
7. Enter the file name that you gave to the directory assistance database on these servers -- for example, DA.NSF. If the directory assistance database is in a subdirectory under the data directory, include the path relative to the data directory -- for example, DIRECTORIES\DA.NSF.
8. Click OK.
9. When you see the message Request has been submitted, click OK again.
10. Use the command tell adminp process interval to force processing of the Set Directory Assistance Field request, or wait until the Administration Process processes the request when it next processes interval requests.
11. Replicate the modified Domino Directory to the servers that will use the directory assistance database.
12. Restart the servers so they detect the directory assistance database file names in their Server documents.
13. Continue to one or both of these procedures:
3. Next to Use Directory on, select the server whose Domino Directory you want to modify.
5. Select a specific Server document, and then click Edit Server.
6. In the Directory Assistance database name field in the Directory Info section on the Basics tab, enter the file name that you gave to the replica of the directory assistance database on this server -- for example, DA.NSF. If the directory assistance database is in a subdirectory under the data directory, include the path relative to the data directory -- for example, DIRECTORIES\DA.NSF.
7. Click Save & Close.
8. If the Domino Directory you changed is not the replica of the server whose directory assistance database file name you specified, replicate the updated Domino Directory to the server.
9. Restart the server so it detects the directory assistance database file name now in its Server document.
