LOTUS CONNECTORS

Overview of the LotusScript Extension for Lotus Connectors
The Lotus® Connectors provide native access to a wide variety of database management system (DBMS) products, ODBC, the platform File system, Enterprise Resource Planning systems, and Transaction Processing systems. The LotusScript Extension for Lotus Connectors (LC LSX) extends these connectors to LotusScript®.

LotusScript provides an integral programming interface to Lotus Notes. The LotusScript Extension for Lotus Connectors enhances the power of Notes by extending its scripting to data outside of Notes. The programming model is independent of the individual connector. This eliminates the need to learn each individual system, while allowing experienced users to access the individual features of a specific system.

For example, through Lotus connectors, IBM® Lotus® Notes® and Web applications have the ability to retrieve and act upon data within agents, during document events, or at the click of a button.

This release of the LC LSX supports access to the following connectors:


In addition to these connectors, the LC LSX also supports additional premium connectors, such as the Lotus Connector for SAP® Solutions These specialized connectors may require additional methods; see the documentation supplied with these connectors for more information.

The LC LSX can be used alone or in conjunction with the Domino(TM) Enterprise Connection Services (DECS) or IBM® Lotus® Enterprise Integrator for Domino (LEI). Respectively, these technologies provide programmatic and declarative access to external data for application development.
