MessageStats 7.8 - Report Pack for Lotus & IBM Notes User Guide

The MessageStats Server Node

Typically, the MessageStats Server is the server on which the MMC console, Scheduler Service, and task processors are installed. In a distributed installation, you can install additional task processors on several computers to run large gatherings. Computers on which you install the task processors are called Task Execution Servers.

Using MessageStats , you can distribute your gathering work across several geographic locations or distribute the workload to occur during certain periods. By using more than one Task Execution Server, you can ensure that available resources can meet the gathering and processing requirements of particular tasks.

The Database Management Node

The MessageStats Database stores the information that is used by the reports. When the database is properly tuned, information can be efficiently stored, and the reports can quickly access the required data.

Over time, the MessageStats Database grows and the database server can become strained. However, it is critical that the database retain enough data for any historical reporting needs that might arise. You can use the Database Management functions to tune the database and remove obsolete data.

For information about Database Management, please see Database Management .

The Lotus and IBM Notes Node

The Lotus and IBM Notes node lists the Domino domains to which is connected. When you expand the Domino Domains node, the domains appear as child nodes. The right pane lists the connected domains and the server that is used as the primary directory server for the domain. For information about creating a connection to servers in a Domino domain, see Connecting to a Domino Domain .

If you are using Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange, you have the option to connect to a Notes Migrator database. Information from the database is used to populate the Notes Migration Status reports. For information about creating a connection to a Notes Migrator database, see Connecting to a Notes Migrator Database .

Connecting to a Domino Domain

You use the Connect option to connect to a Domino server that contains the primary Domino Directory. The report pack uses the Domino server as the directory server to enumerate a Domino domain and to connect to the domain. You also specify the Lotus Notes or IBM Notes ID file and password that is used by the gathering tasks.

During connection, you can specify the Task Execution Server that is used to connect to the Domino domain. Task Execution Servers are the servers on which you installed the task processors.

Prerequisites for the Notes ID File

The Notes User account that is used must have Designer-level access on the Domino server. For private folder gatherings, the account must also have Trusted Server rights in the Domino Server Document of the server from which data is collected. For more information,see Required Rights and Permissions in chapter 2 of the User Guide.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: MessageStats relies on the Lotus Notes or IBM Notes client to extract the user name from the Notes ID file and to verify the password for the ID file. If you are running the MessageStats console on a computer on which Notes is not installed, you can import the Notes ID file but “??????????" is displayed instead of the user name. The selected ID file and password can still be used by the Task Execution Server.
To connect to a Domino domain for the first time
1
Expand the Lotus and IBM Notes node and select Domino Domains in the treeview.
2
Right-click and select Connect.
3
Enter the name of a Domino server that contains the primary Domino Directory. You can specify the server name in one of the following formats:
•
canonicalized (CN=Server/O=Org)
•
abbreviated (Server/Org)
•
server common name (Server)
4
If your primary directory file name is different from the default name (names.nsf), enter the name of your primary Domino Directory in the Directory File Name box.
5
Click Next.
6
To connect to this domain with a Task Execution Server other than the default server, select a server in the Task Execution Server box. If you installed only one task execution server, this option is dimmed.
The Task Execution Server must have the Notes client installed. The Notes client must have been opened at least once and connected to a Domino server before the client can be used in MessageStats.
7
Select Specify Explicit Notes ID.
a
Click Import ID File and browse to the Notes User ID file you want.
b
Enter the password associated with the selected user ID file.
The Notes credentials that you specify can be used as the default credentials when you are connecting to additional Domino domains.
For Lotus Notes 7.0 and later, the password is validated when you click Connect. For Lotus Notes 6.0, the password is not validated until you run a gathering task against a Domino server.
8
Click Connect.

When you connect to an additional Domino domain, you have the option to use the default Notes credentials or to specify a different Notes ID and password. The Notes ID and password is used by the Task Execution Server to gather information from the Domino servers.

To change the default credentials that are used by Lotus and IBM Notes tasks, see Specifying Lotus and IBM Notes Credentials .
