SYMPTOMS
After installing the LinkAge Notes Directory Exchange Agent (DXA), the Notes DXA will not process updates or full load propagations from the Directory Exchange Manager (DXM) to the Notes DXA. In the LinkAge Administrator's Browse Log (or in the log files in the Linkage\Logs directory), you see the following error messages:

1997/09/22 17:46:19- DXANOTES(01e8) 1 41104:Error opening Notes database

>> lndxapi(1397)



CAUSE
The Notes DXA has not been configured through the LinkAge Setup icon in the LinkAge Software 3.2 program group.



WORKAROUND
Use either of the following methods to work around the problem.

Method 1

 * 1) Start the Setup program from the LinkAge Software 3.2 program group, and click Configure Directory Exchange Manager/Agent(s).
 * 2) On Select LDE Component to Configure, click Notes DXA, and click Next. Enter the required information (Notes server name, path to Notes.ini file, source N&A book(s), and target N&A book).

Method 2
Alternatively, directly edit the Linkage.ini file found in the Linkage directory. The section [DXANOTES] has the following parameters that need to be set:

servername=

notesini=

sourcebooks=

targetbook=

Servername is the full name of the Notes Server (for example, SERVER/ORG). Notesini is the full path to the Notes.ini file. Sourcebooks= are the Notes N&A books that are propagated to the DXM; and Targetbook= is the Notes N&A book that contains all foreign users.
