Script automatically launched ?

[tyris]

hi,

i'd like to know if this is doable :
(i looked into lotus help, and saw that an agent can be launched on an event, or on a schedule)
I'd like to know if the Lotus client must be open, or not ?
in fact, i gonna take a script, that should be executed when a new email arrives in an inbox. this inbox won't be a user inbox, it won't be opened by a user, there will be no human interaction.

will the script be called any way ? from the server ? what should i do to enable this feature "without any human interaction" ?

or is it forced to have the Lotus client opened to have the script excecuted ?

many thanks


regards,
Elise

Hi,

Agents can be launched in two ways : manually by the user (from the client), or automatically through a scheduled agent.

Scheduled agents execute on the server, and cannot access either the client (it is not there) nor the hard disk (not there either). Scheduled agents can access any database on the server (barring any access restrictions, of course), and any disk the physical server has mapped.

Apparently, you want an agent scheduled on the event called "After new mail has arrived".

The fact that the mailbox is not a user mail is irrelevant. As long as the router service deposits messages in it is sufficient to trigger the agents' execution.

So the answer to your question is YES, you can schedule an agent to execute automatically, and NO, you do not need the client to be active for the agent to work.

Pascal.
