Netfinity Manager 93
Once the Lotus Notes database is installed, enable Netfinity
Manager systems to export to the Lotus Notes server.
• If the Netfinity Manager system is running Netfinity
Manager for OS/2, ensure that the Lotus Notes directo-
ries are included in the CONFIG.SYS file LIBPATH,
PATH, and DPATH statements. If the directories are not
included in these statements, it is not possible to export
to the Lotus Notes database.
• If the system is running Netfinity Manager for Windows
NT, ensure that the Lotus Notes directory path is
included in the Global Windows NT environment set-
tings.
• If the system is running Netfinity Manager for Windows
95, ensure that the Lotus Notes directories are included
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file PATH statement. If the
directories are not included in this statement, it is not
possible to export to the Lotus Notes database.
Once these steps have been completed, export system
information from Netfinity Manager to an easy-to-browse
Lotus Notes database.
