Re: How to get a list of Domino Servers -- DOMINO400

That's how I currently do it. Using CPYFRMIMPF. Haven't written any RPG
yet to access the IFS directly.
However I am having an issue with CPYFRMIMPF that I am not allowed to
discuss. Please don't ask me what, offlist or otherwise, unless your
email ends with @us.ibm.com.

If I do get the urge to try to use IFS access from RPG, then does anyone
know if there is a release of Domino that may move that file to another
location? I just want to make sure that I am not delaying the inevitable.
I am running 6.0.3 and I consider that a good sign that the file may be
somewhat stable. Since that is a multirelease capable version. Any 6.5
folks out there? Does that file stay there for you?

Re: How to get a list of Domino Servers

Take a look at the following file in the IFS:
/QIBM/UserData/LOTUS/LOTUS_SERVERS

This is a STMF but stream files can be read in CL programs.

Is there an official way to get a list of Domino servers, from a program,
on your iSeries? I know I can do WRKDOMSVR for interactive purposes. But
that's not any good from a nightly unattended backup.

I found some domino api's at:
http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/AS400/5.0.10
/readas4.nsf/1f573324685cf98d8525647c00605493/1ed3e57c17e6473986256b72005ab608?OpenDocument

However the List Domino Servers API is misleading at best:
1) It looks like it lists only 1 Domino server, not servers
2) Required parameter 3 is the server name. I take it *ALL is not
supported?
3) Required parameter 3 fails to say how to format the server name.
Canonical, hierarchical, simple name. Could I have two partitions with
the same name, but different domains? For example DEKKO/LDAP and
MYOUTSOURCINGCLIENT/LDAP?
4) Required parameter 5 is the format name. However no possible formats
were listed.
5) The data buffer does not contain an offset to the next server, thus a
strong hint that plural is not supported.
6) Honestly I think they are listing the wrong data buffer, because one
of the "Field Descriptions" underneath the data buffer displayed is
"Number of server entries returned", but you'd be hardpressed to find that
field in the buffer description.

I did find a sample CL program at
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/domino/devtools/dominoapi/testsapi.txt

But I'd like some real documentation.
