Naming of systems in Domino/Lotus and TMS
The name of a system in TMS is only a label, therefore they can be changed without doing any Lotus
resource re-configuration. However, for consistency and ease of maintenance, TANDBERG
recommends that all installations have consistent names in both Lotus and the TMS web interface.
System IDs in TMS
When defining resource accounts in Domino, you link them to TMS systems using the system ID of
the TMS system. To maintain the integration links, the ID of a TMS system must not change otherwise
the Domino resource will have to be updated manually.
System IDs must stay consistent for an existing TMS system. In TMS, a s
ystem’s IDs will not change
unless a system is completely purged from the database. Therefore, it is important not to purge and
re-add a system to TMS unless absolutely necessary. Doing so will make the system appear as a
completely different system in TMS
, along with a new system ID. If a system’s ID changes and the
system is also represented in Lotus, you must update the ID listed for that system in the Lotus
Resource database.
Adding systems to TMS after installation of the Notes/Domino integration
After completing the TMS Integration with Lotus, the requirements for adding new systems to TMS
change slightly. When adding systems to TMS, it is important to add them to Lotus before the systems
are made available for booking in TMS. This can be done by setting
Allow booking
to
No
for a
system in TMS until it also has been added to Lotus. If a system is booked in TMS before it has been
added to Lotus, the meetings booked prior to the system being created in Lotus will not replicate over
to the Lotus calendars.
Note: This requirement only applies after the TANDBERG Lotus Notes/Domino integration package
has been installed, and for systems you intend to make available for booking in Lotus.
