The database catalog template is a special template used to automatically create a database that records and stores information about the databases on a Notes server.
The database catalog is a list of all public databases. If a user sees a database of interest, he/she can contact the database's manager and ask for access to it.
The database catalog is updated regularly on a schedule determined by a ServerTasks line in the server's NOTES.INI file. The database catalog can be updated on demand by issuing the LOAD CATALOG command at the server.
To the Server Administrator/Database Manager:
Access Control List:
The Access Control List (ACL) is set up so that by default, the server is defined as manager. Immediately after the Database Catalog is created, the server administrator should change the ACL to make him/herself manager of the database.
The default access is Editor.
The administrator maintains the ACL. He/she may change the default access or add additional managers.
Tip: The administrator can modify the ACL to adjust which servers' databases appear in the catalog. See the Lotus Notes
Administrator's Guide
for more information.
About the Database Catalog:
Read (and maybe print) this information. Replace the current contents with a paragraph or two that explains the purpose of this database, its audience, and how to contact the manager(s).
(To edit the About Database document, select Design, Help Document, About Database.)
Using the Database Catalog:
Be sure to update the Using Database document. It should give users specific information on the use of the database.
(To edit the Using Database document, select Design, Help Document, Using Database.)
This database contains information about databases on one or more servers in the Notes system.
The database catalog contains:
o A list of all the databases in the Notes system
o A list of the servers where each database resides
o A list of the connections between servers
Composing Documents
You cannot compose documents for this database. The documents are automatically created from public Name & Address books. The catalog is updated when the server task CATALOG runs, by default, at 1 a.m. Server administrators can update the catalog by issuing the LOAD CATALOG command at the server console.
