Modifying the mail template database

---

Once the template databases have been updated, you need to insert the Zetafax sub-forms and then refresh the database design or wait until Notes does its scheduled refresh.

 

1.In the 'Domino Designer', open MAIL8.NTF.

2.By default, the Memo form will be selected. Double-click on it to view its design.

 

 

3.Place your cursor beneath the second instance of <Computed Subform>, then go to Create>Resource>InsertSubform, and select 'Zetafax Action'.

 

 

4.Select File>Save.

5.Right-click on the 'Mail (R8)' entry in the left-hand column, then select Refresh>Design. Select the server you are configuring, then click 'OK', and then 'Yes'.

6.One you have updated the mail template database, every Notes user's mail database will need a design refresh. The best way of going about this depends on the details of your Domino server(s) installation. It may be sufficient to wait for the scheduled refresh to take place. Alternatively, there are a couple of ways of forcing a refresh.

 

a)You can run the 'user upgrade wizard' to send every user an email which allows them to trigger an update – see the Notes help on 'upgrading Notes mail files' to see how to do this. You can trigger an update from the Domino admin console; run the Domino Administrator and select Live console and Enable. At the prompt, type tell router quit – the router will now stop processing mail.

 

b)Now type in load convert -r mail\*.nsf * mail6.ntf. The console will now display the databases being converted. When this has completed, type in load router to start the router.
