Defining additional Domino message properties in custom properties
To include custom Domino message properties in Enterprise Vault indexes, you define the required properties in Custom Properties.xml
.
In the Notes client, you can view Domino properties on a message as shown in Figure: Viewing Domino message properties.
To view Domino message properties
- Open the message in the Notes client, then right-click the message.
- Select Document Properties in the menu.
- Select the Fields tab in the dialog box that is displayed.
The property names are listed in the left-hand pane. When you select a property in the left-hand pane, details of that property are displayed in the right-hand pane.
To make Domino message properties available to Enterprise Vault, you define them in the <CUSTOMPROPERTIES> section of Custom Properties.xml
. The properties defined in this section can then be referenced in the content category and presentation sections.
The properties are grouped using the <NAMESPACE> element. Typically, properties accessed by a particular application are defined in the same namespace.
This outline of the custom properties section shows how Domino properties are defined:
<!-- 2. DEFINITION OF CUSTOM PROPERTIES AVAILABLE --> <CUSTOMPROPERTIES> <NAMESPACE TYPE="LOTUS"> <PROPERTY NAME="Domino_prop_name" LOTUSTYPE="Domino_data_type" TAG="EV_prop_name" SEPARATOR="separator_characters" /> [<PROPERTY ... />] </NAMESPACE> </CUSTOMPROPERTIES>
The TYPE="LOTUS" identifies the property as a Domino property.
Within each <NAMESPACE> element, the properties are defined in <PROPERTY> elements using NAME and TAG attributes, as follows:
In NAME="Domino_prop_name", the value is the property name displayed in the Notes document properties. The value must exactly match the value displayed in the Notes client.
LOTUSTYPE="Domino_data_type" identifies the property data type. The following types are supported: "TEXT", "NUMBER", "TIME".
Enterprise Vault indexes "NUMBER" properties as integers.
TAG="EV_prop_name" identifies the property within Enterprise Vault. It must contain four or more alphanumeric characters (A-Z a-z 0-9); spaces and underscore characters are not permitted. The value assigned to the property TAG must be unique within the XML file. Although you can cross refer to the property using the TAG value, the same value cannot be used to identify any other entities in the file.
SEPARATOR="separator_characters" specifies one or more characters to be treated as separators. All the characters you specify in this attribute are used individually as separators to split the string assigned to the Domino property. For example, if you want both colons and semi-colons to be treated as separator characters, set SEPARATOR to ":;". Enterprise Vault then splits the Domino property at each occurrence of one of these separator characters, and individually indexes each separated value.
