Using a selection formula in a directory catalog configuration document
The Selection Formula field replaces the replication setting Receive only a subset of the documents - Documents that meet a selection formula used in other databases. Keep in mind that a selection formula applies to all the aggregated directories, so the formula should be valid for all of them.
About this task
Note that you cannot use a selection formula to aggregate documents that are never aggregated into a directory catalog. For example, you cannot use a selection formula to aggregate Server Configuration documents or Server Connection documents.
For more information on selection formulas, see HCL Notes® Help.
Procedure
Example
For example, to aggregate only Person documents with a value of "Atlanta" in the Location field, aggregate all Group documents, and exclude all other documents, use the following selection formula:
SELECT (Form = "Person" & Location = "Atlanta") | (Form = "Group")Or to aggregate only Person documents for people assigned to a specific mail server, use a selection formula such as:
SELECT (Form = "Person" & MailServer = "MailServer1")Using a selection formula in combination with the Group types option
