Lotus Domino creating database - lotus-domino

How to create lotus domino database? I have installed domino designer 8.5, lotus admin 8.5 and lotus server. I have configured and launch domino server. So now I need to create database and connect to it with java. Connection is the second part and first I need to find out how to create this db. In tutorials I saw that I need to use domino developer to do that. But there is no such function in domino developer. Can someone tell me, how to do it?

The short answer: File - Application - New.
I will suggest you find a book and/or online tutorials on the subject of application development in Notes/Domino.

For an excellent introduction to programming Domino in Java, see Bob Balaban's old book -- which is available now for free on his blog here. Yes, it's old, but it covers the basic concepts very, very well. (The one critical thing that is missing is the recycle() method, which didn't exist at the time he wrote the book, but is absolutely essential.)

How to create lotus domino database?
From the Notes client do File - > Application - New
I have installed domino designer 8.5, lotus admin 8.5 and lotus server.
good, you seem ready
I have configured and launch domino server. So now I need to create database and connect to it with java.
So you have written some java on the OS level and need to connect to notes using the Notes API? first step is to read about the notes.jar and ncso.jar.
Did you know that a Notes database is an eclipse project?
Connection is the second part and first I need to find out how to create this db.
In tutorials I saw that I need to use domino developer to do that. But there is no such function in domino developer.
* The developer client is called Domino Designer, You do not need Domino Designer to create a database but if you want to make design changes you need Domino Designer. (btw. you mentioned that you already installed Domino Designer above)
Notes Domino is a client server solution. databases can be local on your machine or on the server.
Good luck

How to move a windows .net runtime frontend application to the cloud (it uses a local sql server backend database)

I had a engineer design our .net application back in 2009, my guess is that it was coded using visual studio, and all I have is the installer application. We have been using it on our 1 or 2 local client machines very well for the past few years, but now I want to move this front end to the cloud. Instead of installing it as an application on our windows 7 machines.
It is a very simple application used in our small warehouse that keeps track of cargo/shipments etc. It uses Sql Server 2008 Express as a backend which is stored locally.
I know how to get the database in the cloud, their are many options for that, using Amazon or Azure, but how do i get the local client application to the cloud?
I dont have access to the visual studio code, i just have the runtime executable file..
I am sure there is no way to do this, and many of SO users will say i need to re-write the front end.
I have tried to contact the developer and they hav since closed down. Is their anyway i can run this in the cloud?
I welcome all options and solutions!
Thanks.
I believe you have two options for hosting this application:
If you are able to configure the database connection string, you could host the database in the cloud, and distribute the application to your end users. However, you've already stated that you know how to move the database, so I assume this isn't an option.
The only alternative is to run the entire application on a cloud server, and send the user interface to a client using terminal services. This makes it appear as if the application is running locally on the user's computer, while it is actually running on the server.
For an off-the-shelf solution to achieve this, you could consider using Microsoft's RemoteApp Azure service. I'm sure there are other similar offerings available.

how to create simplest database in lotus domino server on redhat machine

I am debugging a software which uses lotus and i am not looking to master the domino lotus.
Looking for commands to
1) create database
2) list database
3) delete database
I had downloaded the DOMI_SRV_901_LIN_XS64_EN_-TRIAL.tar and installed on redhat 6 machine. Started the lotus domino server using the command
su - notes -c "cd /local/notesdata; /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server&"
Now how to create the simplest database possible using command line.
Simple answer: you don't...
There is no way to create a database using command lines, and deleting and listing is also usually not made via command line.
For creating databases you need IBM Domino Designer Client.
For managing the server you need IBM Domino Admin Client.
Domino databases are not relational databases, that can be simply created using a command: They are much more.
After installing you have a lot databases already on your server. e.g.:
names.nsf - Aka Domino Directory: Contains the configuration of your Domino Domain, your users, groups, etc.
log.nsf - Guess: Yes, the log of the server
admin4.nsf - Needed for administrative purposes (renaming users, deleting databases, etc.), used in the "backend" most of the time
You won't learn using domino just from a linux console. Most probably you need an admin education (lasting at least 3 days)...
Domino is to complex for this...

Cannot connect to server - SQL Server 2014 Management Studio

I'm quite a newbie, just trying to learn some new things. I've recently started learning c# etc and I'd also like to create a new SQL Server database using SQL Server Management Studio.
The thing is that for some reason I am not able to connect to the server. I might have done something wrong (or haven't done something that I should have done). Been researching the problem a lot on google and I found some tips but I still can't make it work.
I even found some installation tutorial in here: http://www.sqlcoffee.com/SQLServer2014_0005.htm and I only noticed that I used some different options (I used default, didn't change anything) like for example in "Database Engine Config" I chose "Windows authentication mode".
So that's what I get: http://imgur.com/2ftOdSB
Also I think I may have some problem with services, because when I go to the server configuration manager, the list is completely empty.
Thanks for any tips. If I don't solve this, I can always uninstall SQL Server Management Studio and reinstall it - this time following the steps in the tutorial. Hopefully that wont be necessary so help me please:)!
I've had a look at the link you posted about the installation instructions. As I mentioned before SQL server enterprise (database engine) won't install on a non-Server OS, You'll need at least Windows Server 2008. Have a look at msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.120).aspx for the system requirements. During the installation there must have been an option to install the database engine, but it was probably disabled because of your OS.
I suggest you uninstall 2014 Enterprise and download SQL Server 2014 express microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=42299 and make sure you select database engine as part of the installation.
If you want to get into SQL, I would suggest trying out MySQL first. I've utilized it a little bit and found it to be fairly simple with a decent amount of documentation. This version of SQL will still function with various languages. It doesn't utilize Windows authentication, but rather lets you set a root password specific to the database itself. I don't know if your software is similar to that but there may be an option to not use Windows authentication and instead authenticate within the database software itself.

how to sync the offline database with online database using an application built in adobe air

I am a newbie and would like to ask a question regarding adobe air.
My client wants an desktop based application. He wants the application to be run standalone on the machine of any user who has downloaded that application from his website.
He also requires that what so ever data that has been stored in the desktop application can be synced with online database, if required.
i want to build the desktop application in adobe air.
Can you please guide me that how can i sync the offline and online data using an application built in adobe air?? Is it possible??
As i have studied that adobe air uses sqlite by defult, so do i have to use the same as server as well or can i go with mysql also.

Possible via URLRequest - send your desktop data to server handler (with POST method), then put it into database there. Handler is a page that can be created with any web technology - PHP, ASP.NET, Python, whatever.

You don't need to use same DB engine. All data needs to be transferred in intermediate format anyway. For format, I would choose XML - it has good support in AIR.

Can SQL Reporting Services use Lotus Notes as a datasource?

I would like to create a report from a project management system that has been created in Lotus Notes. I have connected to ORACLE from SSRS before, can I connect to the Lotus Notes DB?
Yes, with a third-party adapter or driver.
Propoison has an adapter (Propoison Report Adapter) that connects to Lotus Notes and Domino environments. Apparently they were recently bought by Quest Software, which I discovered by being redirected. You'll have to call Quest to see if you'll have any development options now or going forward.
Alternatively it should be possible to connect to Notes using IBM's NotesSQL ODBC driver.
