HCL Domino Designer User Guide and Reference
This guide provides information on using HCL Domino Designer and programming language reference information.
Connectors
Connectors provide native access to a wide variety of DBMS products, ODBC, the platform File system, Enterprise Resource Planning systems, and Transaction Processing systems.
LSX for Connectors
LotusScript® Extensions for Connectors (LC LSX) enhances the power of Notes® by extending its scripting to data outside of Notes through the use of Connectors. The programming model is independent of the individual connector. This eliminates the need to learn each individual system, while at the same time allowing experienced users to access the individual features of a specific system.

- Domino® Query Language
  Domino® Query Language (DQL) is a facility running on a Domino server that provides a terse, shorthand syntax for finding documents. It supports a wide variety and complexity of search terms. It leverages existing design elements, avoiding the need to write detailed code to access them. DQL consolidates all methods in Domino for searching document contents.
- Composite Applications - Design and Management
  Composite applications are a key element in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and contextual collaboration strategy. The ability to create and edit composite applications lets you easily integrate different types of components and technologies.
- DB2® Access views
  Domino® Designer includes two types of design elements to assist you in managing data contained in DB2® enabled Notes® databases:

    - Chapter 8 LCSession Class
      This chapter provides information about LCSession class methods and properties.
      - LCSession class overview
        The LCSession class represents the Connectors environment of the current script, providing access to the available connectors and Metaconnectors, as well as the current error status. The status property and methods are useful when writing error handling code and reporting errors as text messages.
      - LCSession Class Properties Summary
        All sessions have a set of predefined properties with values that can be assigned and retrieved. All properties are represented by both an integer value (called a property token) and a name.
      - LCSession Class Methods Summary
        This section lists the methods that are available to both Domino® Enterprise Connection Services (DECS) and HCL Enterprise Integrator (HEI) users.
      - New Method for LCSession
        This is the constructor method for the LCSession object.
      - ClearStatus Method for LCSession
        This method resets or clears the LCSession status after an error.
      - GetStatus Method for LCSession
        This method retrieves the current status value of a session.
      - GetStatusText Method for LCSession
        This method returns the message text corresponding to an LCStatus code.
      - ListConnector Method for LCSession
        This method lists through all valid connectors for a LotusScript® Extensions (LC LSX) installation.
      - ListMetaconnector Method for LCSession
        This method lists all valid metaconnectors for a Connectors installation. Metaconnectors add an extra layer of functionality between the actual data source and your program, letting you do such things as sort the records as you read them, or automatically meter accesses. Supplied metaconnectors are described in the Connectors and Connectivity Guide.
      - LookupConnector Method for LCSession
        This method looks up a connector name to determine if it exists and returns information about the connector. Metaconnectors add an extra layer of functionality between the actual data source and your program, letting you do such things as sort the records as you read them, or automatically track accesses. Supplied metaconnectors are described in the Connectors and Connectivity Guide.
      - LookupMetaConnector Method for LCSession
        This method looks up a metaconnector name to determine if it exists and returns information about the metaconnector. Metaconnectors add an extra layer of functionality between the actual data source and your program, letting you do such things as sort the records as you read them, or automatically track accesses. Supplied metaconnectors are described in the Connectors and Connectivity Guide
      - Sleep Method for LCSession
        This method forces a script execution to sleep for the specified length of time.
    - Chapter 9 LCStream Class
      This chapter provides information about the LCStream class methods and properties.
    - Appendix A Error Messages
      This appendix provides information about error messages.
    - Appendix B Connector Property Tokens
      This appendix provides information about the property tokens used in the LotusScript® Extensions (LC LSX).
    - Appendix C Connector Properties
      This chapter provides information about connector properties. These properties are used when creating connections using the Lotus® Connector LotusScript® Extensions.
    - Appendix D Character Sets
      This appendix provides information about character sets, including character set translation, character sort order, and a list of the character sets supported by the Connector LotusScript® Extensions (LC LSX).
    - Appendix E Additional Scripting Capability for HEI
      This appendix provides information about additional methods and properties provided for HCL Enterprise Integrator (HEI) with the LCSession class that expand on the Connector LotusScript® Extensions (LC LSX).
  - Accessing external databases through LS:DO
    Developers are advised not to use LS:DO. Developers should use the Connector LSX for (LCLSX) when accessing external data sources.
- Javadoc™ for Domino® Designer related APIs
  As part of providing additional Java™ reference documentation, Domino® Designer ships with a help plugin that contains Javadoc™ for additional Domino Designer related APIs.
