Folder Restore tool
>>> Information about: Lialis Folder Restore Tool for Lotus Notes
| Unitiv's Intelligent Help Desk | Rating: 5 stars
Reviewer: Ike Aig
Definitely a tool to have in your arsenal as a Lotus Notes
Developer/Adminstrator. One less thing to worry about in my environment
where the average user mail inbox comprises a structure of nested folders
with dozens of documents within. Now I don't have to worry about restoring
databases from a backup or an end user having to recreate an entire
document folder structure from memory.

After the investigation Lialis will deliver an advice about the renewal and/or extension of the Lotus Domino licenses. If the demands for the Lotus Domino structure has changed (new Lotus Domino server, new functionalities, more employees, foreign sites, extension company), there is a good chance it is less expensive to switch to another license structure. When the customer has to buy new licenses, Lialis always make sure that the renewal date of new license is similar to the existing licenses. This is less complex to administer in the future.

Lialis supported the customer by implementing an alternative solution for clustering. |

Activities: This customer has an application in which information is gathered from four applications. This migration wasn't performed correctly and therefore the information in the application cannot be trusted. Lialis performed several activities, Lialis logged user activity information about the four applications and developed an agent to correctly migrate the information from the four applications to the leading application (no double information). The other applications were phased out. In a later stage, the application design of this main application was modified even more, after which other applications were merged into this application as well. When all the information was stored centrally, another application, used for creating orders, was modified to be able to use the information in the central application during the creation of a new order. The entire ordering process was modified for this purpose. All these modifications made it easier and less time-consuming to maintain the information. |
 | 2008.

 | 2007.
Activities: This Lotus Domino environment contains many Lotus Domino servers, with each their own Domino Directory. The person documents in the separate Domino directories are gathered in one special lookup application.

In R7 it is possible to just have one lookup application. |
| 2007 - 2008.
Activities: Default Notes mail file users are able to send and receive mail to/from internal and external mail addresses. For this customer Lialis modified the mail file template and developed a central management application in which each mail is stored temporarily. In this application an agent checks the ip address of the user. Users with an ip address in a specified ip range are not able to send or receive mail from external mail addresses. The administrators are able to release an email and to modify the ip range. In a later stage the application is extended with a configuration document in which can be determined if the information about the processed emails must be logged in a separate logging application, which information must be stored and the location of the log application. |
 | 2007.
Activities: For this customer, Lialis has modified several applications. For one application the creation of project folders was automated, a Notes client installation for home users was configured and automated, a problem with a print button was solved and this customer had a problem with a reports application. Each report in the application is a Notes form, which can only be saved by sending the reports. It is possible to send the report to multiple persons at once. The problem was that when a wrong email address was added to send the report to, each mail address in line after the wrong email address, did not receive the report and the log information was not added. Therefore it looks like the report was not sent at all. Lialis added a code to the application which checks the correctness of the mail addresses. |
 | 2007.
Activities: Lialis modified two applications: For a project application, Lialis made it easier to create new project documents, modified views for more user friendliness, made it possible to show the status of each project and to export the view information to Excel.
