You create the Domain Catalog by enabling the Catalog task
on the server that hosts the Catalog for the IBM® Domino® domain.
About this task
The Catalog task uses pull replication to create the Domain
Catalog from the individual catalogs you have created on servers throughout
the Domino domain. You can
replicate the Domain Catalog to other Domain Catalog servers (such
as those in a cluster).
Procedure
- From the Domino Administrator,
select the server that you want to contain the Domain Catalog.
- Click the Configuration tab.
- Expand the Server section in the
view pane.
- Click Current Server Document.
- Click Edit Server, and then click the tab.
- In the Domain Catalog field, select Enabled.
- Click OK.
- To change the scope of the Domain Catalog, select the servers
that you want to include in the Limit domain cataloging
to the following servers field. Use wildcard characters
to index all servers certified with a specific certifier -- for example
*/Sales/East/Renovations. If the field is blank (default), all servers
in the domain are cataloged.
Tip: Use this
field to limit the scope of the Domain Catalog to regional locations
or to expand its scope to multiple Domino domains
by cataloging multiple Domain Catalog servers.
- Click Save and Close.
- Make sure the Catalog task is included in the
ServerTasksAt1
setting
in the server's NOTES.INI file, or use another
method (start the Catalog task at the console or create a Program
document) to run the task.
Results
When the Catalog task starts for the first time, Domino creates the Domain Catalog
database based on the CATALOG.NTF template and
adds entries to the ACL so the database replicates properly within
the domain. The Administration Process creates the group LocalDomainCatalogServers
in the Domino Directory and
adds the server that contains the Domain Catalog to that group.
