IBM SC34-4499-03 manual Creating and Maintaining Integrated Notes Databases, 111

Chapter 8. Creating and Maintaining Integrated Notes Databases

This section and the one that follows (ªChapter 9. Database Design Strategies and Advanced Customizationº on page 121) provide instructions for the members of your organization, referred to as the Lotus Notes Database Administrator, or administrator for brevity's sake, who will be responsible for accessing the Integrated Notes Database code shipped with TeamConnection, customizing prede®ned database templates to best serve your project's needs, and maintaining your organization's production integrated databases.

Important notice to administrators

For any administrative activities that involve teamc.nsf and fhcnotes.ntf, you can locate these ®les on the TeamConnection server in the NLS\CFG\[LANG] path ($TC_HOME/NLS/CFG/[LANG] for UNIX platforms), where [LANG] speci®es the language directory for your version of the product (ENU or en_US, for example).

As the designated administrator works through the tasks described in this section, it may become apparent that other members of the organization should assume the role of individual database owner, and make decisions that affect speci®c databases. This segmentation or hierarchy should become more apparent as the tasks described move from installation and setup issues to those that involve design and maintenance.

After you have installed TeamConnection and veri®ed the items listed in ªPrerequisites and dependenciesº on page 104, you can proceed to performing administrative tasks necessary to activate this feature from a Notes standpoint. This is likely to be staged process. After loading initial database templates, as described in ªInitializing the original template and creating a databaseº on page 112, you can begin the recursive process of customization and tuning. Setup for the initialization stage is required. Design strategies and advanced customization (which is optional) are described in detail in ªChapter 9. Database Design Strategies and Advanced Customizationº on page 121.

The primary administrative tasks discussed in this section are summarized in Figure 42 on page 112:
