Re: External data in a view

["Scott Johnson" <sjohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What you are looking for will be a feature in LEI 6. Currently I don't
think there is anyway to do it. The data that you want to show in the view
has to come from documents in the Notes database.  I have a couple of
databases that use agents to pull data from an AS/400 daily/weekly and
loads it into Notes documents.  This works fine.

I write documents in Lotus script and then just open up the view on those
documents.  I purge the "work" documents nightly.  I don't know of any way
to open up DB2 documents directly in a view - if you figure it out, let me
know!
