Use the Administration Process to automate adding a directory assistance database file name to multiple Server documents -- the Administration Process creates a "Set Directory Assistance Field" request to add the file name. Or enter the file name of the directory assistance database to Server documents manually.

Using the Administration Process to add the directory assistance database file name to multiple Server documents

To use the Administration Process to add a directory assistance database file name to multiple Server documents:

1. Make sure that you:

• Created and replicated the directory assistance database
• Have either Author access and the ServerModifier role, or Editor access in the ACL of the Domino Directory to which you will add the file names.
• Have set up the Administration Process

3. Next to "Use Directory on," select the administration server for the Domino Directory.

4. In the left pane, expand Server - All Server Documents.

5. Select the Server documents for all servers that use the same file name for the directory assistance database. A check mark appears next to each document.

6. Choose Actions - Set Directory Assistance Information.

7. Enter the file name that you gave to the directory assistance database on these servers -- for example, DA.NSF. If the directory assistance database is in a subdirectory under the data directory, include the path relative to the data directory -- for example, DIRECTORIES\DA.NSF.

8. Click OK.

9. When you see the dialog box stating "Request has been submitted," click OK again.

10. Use the command "tell adminp process interval" to force processing of the "Set Directory Assistance Field" request, or wait until the Administration Process processes the request when it next processes interval requests.

11. Replicate the modifed Domino Directory to the servers that will use the directory assistance database.

12. Restart the servers so they detect the directory assistance database file names in their Server documents.

13. Continue to one or both of these procedures:

• Creating a Directory Assistance document for a Domino directory
• Creating a Directory Assistance document for a remote LDAP directory

1. Make sure that you:

• Created and replicated the directory assistance database.
• Have either Author access and the ServerModifier role, or Editor access in the ACL of the Domino Directory to which you will add the file names.

3. Next to "Use Directory on," select the server whose Domino Directory you want to modify.

4. In the left pane, choose Server - All Server Document.

5. Select a specific Server document, and then click Edit Server.

6. In the "Directory Assistance database name" field in the "Directory Info" section on the Basics tab, enter the file name that you gave to the replica of the directory assistance database on this server -- for example, DA.NSF. If the directory assistance database is in a subdirectory under the data directory, include the path relative to the data directory -- for example, DIRECTORIES\DA.NSF.

7. Click Save & Close.

8. If the Domino Directory you changed is not the replica of the server whose directory assistance database file name you specified, replicate the updated Domino Directory to the server.

9. Restart the server so it detects the directory assistance database file name now in its Server document.

10. Continue to one or both of these procedures:

• Creating a Directory Assistance document for a Domino directory
• Creating a Directory Assistance document for a remote LDAP directory
