2. Introduction

=================================================================

The Document Manager Desktop Enabler lets you access Document Manager

libraries using Windows(R) Explorer, provides support for integrated

applications such as Microsoft(R) Office and Lotus SmartSuite(R),

and lets you manage local Document Manager settings from your

computer via the Desktop Administrator.

The Desktop Enabler also supports the Document Manager API. For more

information, see the Document Manager Programmer's Guide (ddmddpg.nsf)

in the Document Manager directory on your server.

Please see Section 6, "Getting Started" below for instructions on

how to connect to a Document Manager library.

=================================================================

3. What's New?

=================================================================

Usability enhancements

------------------------

Expanded Notes(R) e-mail integration -- Desktop Enabler users can

move Lotus Notes(R) e-mail content, file attachments, and header

information directly to a Document Manager library, and choose which

components to save. Now, administrators can enable the same Notes

e-mail integration for users who do not have access to the Desktop

Enabler (for example, users who run Lotus Notes on a Macintosh).

Extended access to Doc Manager Neighborhood -- The Doc Manager

Neighborhood can be made to display in the Open dialog box and the

Save As dialog box of additional selected applications, allowing users

to view the library hierarchy, and open and save documents of the

appropriate type. Application access to the Doc Manager Neighborhood

must be enabled by the Document Manager administrator.

Extended application support for Microsoft Office 2007 -- This HotFix

adds Microsoft Office 2007 as a supported application for Document

Manager. It enables Microsoft Office 2007 file open/save in Document

Manager.

Extended Windows support for Microsoft Vista -- This HotFix adds

Micriosoft Vista as a support Client for Document Manager.

Serviceability enhancements

---------------------------

Enhanced installation logging -- When users install the Desktop

Enabler, Document Manager records each step of the installation

process in a log file. If installation does not complete successfully,

the log file can help diagnose the underlying problem.

Note: For information on additional enhancements in this release

that do not pertain to the Desktop Enabler, see "What's new" in the

Document Manager User's Guide.

=================================================================

4. System Requirements

=================================================================

To use the Document Manager Desktop Enabler (included with

Document Manager), you need:

* Microsoft Vista Enterprise.

* Pentium(R) 333 MHz or higher, with 256MB RAM or higher.

* 10MB hard disk space to install the Desktop Enabler, plus 50MB

space for downloading temporary files from the Document Manager

server; the Setup program removes the temporary files after it

installs the Desktop Enabler.

* 256-color monitor with minimum 800 x 600 resolution.

=================================================================

5. Installing

=================================================================

When you install the Document Manager Desktop Enabler, the Setup

program (ddsetup.exe) checks to see if you have an earlier version

of the Enabler and then removes the relevant files before installing

the new client software files. Setup copies files to the directory

you specify, the Notes directory (if Notes is installed), and the

Windows\System directory, then updates the Windows registry.

You can install the Desktop Enabler from the Document Manager

library by using either a Notes client or a Web browser. The

installation process varies depending on the interface you use.

Note: The Desktop Enabler can only be installed on workstations

running a supported version of Windows.

Setting up the Desktop Enabler from Notes

-----------------------------------------

When you install the Desktop Enabler from a Notes client, you can

choose whether to install and set up the Enabler, or download the

files without completing setup. If you choose the latter option, you

will need to run ddsetup.exe when you want to set up the Enabler.

1. Open the Document Manager library. For example, choose

File - Database - Open, specify the name of the Domino server,

and select the Document Manager library.

2. Click Library Administration and then click Download Client

Software.

3. Do one of the following:

* To complete installation and setup, click Install Client.

This option downloads files to a temporary location and then

automatically runs ddsetup.exe to set up the Desktop Enabler.

* To download the Desktop Enabler files without completing setup,

click Download Client. This option downloads the files to a

location that you specify. To complete setup, go to that

location and then run ddsetup.exe.

4. When the InstallShield Welcome screen displays, click Next to

begin installing the Desktop Enabler files.

5. Select the type of install you want, accept or change the default

drive and directory for the Desktop Enabler, and then click Next.

Both Setup options (Typical and Custom) install the Document

Manager Application Programming Interface (API) used by the

Desktop Enabler. If you plan to develop applications using the

API and do not want to install the Doc Manager Neighborhood

interface, select Custom, click Next, and then select API Install.

6. Follow the remaining on-screen prompts.

Setting up the Desktop Enabler from a Browser

---------------------------------------------

1. Obtain the library URL from your Document Manager administrator,

then open the Document Manager library.

2. Click Getting Started, then scroll to the bottom of the page

and click Download Document Manager Desktop Enabler.

The Download software page displays. The attached files that you

see depend on whether your administrator has enabled access to the

Doc Manager Neighborhood from additional desktop applications.

3. Do one of the following:

* If the page contains the Enabler (ddsetup.exe) and Readme

(readclnt.txt) files, click ddsetup.exe and then choose whether

to open the setup program directly from the page or download the

file to a directory on your workstation. If you choose

the latter option, go to the directory where you saved the file

and then run ddsetup.exe.

* If the page contains the Enabler (ddsetup.exe), Readme

(readclnt.txt), and Registry (ddmallowedapps.reg) files,

download the files to a single directory on your workstation,

then go to the directory where you saved the files, run

ddmallowedapps.reg, and then run ddsetup.exe.

4. When the InstallShield Welcome screen displays, click Next to

begin installing the Desktop Enabler files.

5. Select the type of install you want, accept or change the default

drive and directory for the Desktop Enabler, and then click Next.

Both Setup options (Typical and Custom) install the Document

Manager Application Programming Interface (API) used by the

Desktop Enabler. If you plan to develop applications using the

API and do not want to install the Doc Manager Neighborhood

interface, select Custom, and then select API Install.

6. Follow the remaining on-screen prompts.

Troubleshooting Installation Problems

-------------------------------------

During installation, ddsetup.exe creates a text file (ddsetup.log)

that records each step of the installation process and can be used

to help troubleshoot problems. After installation, ddsetup.log is

stored in the directory where you installed the Desktop Enabler

(typically c:\lotus\dominodoc). If installation does not complete

successfully, ddsetup.log is stored in the root directory of the

hard drive (typically c:\).

Note: If access to the root directory is restricted on the

workstation where the Desktop Enabler is installed, the ddsetup.log

file is not created. (SPR #RPHX6CNPYN)

Accessing Document Manager

--------------------------

After you install the Desktop Enabler and restart your PC, you can

use these two tools to access your Document Manager libraries:

* Doc Manager Neighborhood shortcut on your Windows desktop

* Doc Manager Neighborhood icon in the left pane of Windows Explorer

=================================================================

6. Getting Started

=================================================================

This section describes how to access the Document Manager Desktop

Administrator, and explains how to connect to a Document Manager

library from an integrated application and from the Windows

Explorer.

Using the Desktop Administrator

-------------------------------

The Document Manager Desktop Administrator lets you manage local

settings on your computer including selecting the integrated

applications you want to use with Document Manager, and specifying

proxy server connection settings.

To open the Desktop Administrator, click the Windows Start menu,

then choose Programs - Lotus Applications - Doc Manager Desktop

Administrator.

Note: You must log in to the workstation using an Administrator

ID to change some of the integrated applications preferences and

the HTTP server address and port.

Connecting to a Document Manager Library

----------------------------------------

When you open or save documents, you need to specify the name

of the server and the Document Manager library where you store

your documents.

Contact your Document Manager administrator for the name of your

Domino server, the file path of your Document Manager library, and

a preferred protocol. You can access a Document Manager library

using either HTTP protocol (the protocol used by Web browsers) or

Notes protocol.

For HTTP, use this format:

http://myHTTPServer/LibrarynameLib.nsf

For Notes, use this format:

notes://myNotesServer/sMyDDocDir/LibrarynameLib.nsf

Connecting to a Library from an Integrated Application

------------------------------------------------------

1. Choose File - Open.

If you are using a Microsoft Office application, click the

Doc Manager icon in the dialog box's location bar. If there

are no current library connections, the Library Connect dialog

box displays.

If you are using a different ODMA-supported application and

there are no current library connections, the Library Connect

dialog box displays.

2. In the Library Connect dialog box, do the following:

* Enter the Library Address (see HTTP and Notes protocol formats

above).

* Enter the Display Name (the name you want to assign to the

icon that will take you to the library).

* Click OK.

After you connect to a library, the Open dialog box displays

the library icon with the name you specified.

3. To open a library, double-click its icon.

4. If prompted, enter your user name and password, then click OK.

For more detailed instructions, see the following topics in

Document Manager Integrated Application Help:

* "Managing library connections from an Office application"

* "Managing library connections from an ODMA-supported

application"

Connecting to a Library from Windows Explorer

---------------------------------------------

1. Right-click on the Doc Manager Neighborhood icon in the Windows

Explorer, and then choose Connect Library from the context

menu.

Tip: You can also double-click the Doc Manager Neighborhood

shortcut on the Windows desktop, then double-click the

Add Library Connection icon.

2. In the Library Connect dialog box, do the following:

* Enter the Library Address (see HTTP and Notes protocol formats

above).

* Enter the Display Name (the name you want to assign to the

icon that will take you to the library).

* Click OK.

After you connect to a library, you see a library icon with

the display name you specified.

3. To view the library contents, expand the library inside

Windows Explorer (or open the library if you are in the

Doc Manager Neighborhood window).

4. If prompted, enter your user name and password, then click OK.

For more detailed instructions, see "Setting up for using the

Windows Explorer interface" in Doc Manager Neighborhood Help.

=================================================================

7. Known Problems and Limitations

=================================================================

> Desktop Enabler installation log file is not created.

If access to the root directory is restricted on the workstation

where the Desktop Enabler is installed, the ddsetup.log file is

not created. (SPR #RPHX6CNPYN)

> Error "No Working or Review Copy" in Library Log.

If the user opens a document for editing in an integrated application

without explicitly checking out the document first, then updates,

saves, and checks the document back into the library, Document Manager

may report the error "No working or review copy was found." The error

is recorded in the library log database and in the Desktop Enabler log

file; however, it is not displayed to the user and does not have any

negative effect on document check-in. To avoid generating this error

in the library log database and Desktop Enabler log file, users should

check out the document and then open it. (SPR #HMON69WRAY)

> Unnecessary links appear in the Life Cycle view.

In Domino.Doc(R) 3.5 and Document Manager 6.5.1, when documents were

submitted for review or approval, unnecessary document links displayed

in the Life Cycle view. If you upgrade to Document Manager 7.0 from

either prior release, these links remain visible and cannot be

removed. (SPR #HMON57ZLHN)

> Excel(R) options are missing in the Save As dialog box.

When Excel is enabled for use with Document Manager through the

Desktop Administrator, you cannot select options in the Document

Manager version of the Save As dialog box to protect the file with

a password or always create backup copies. To address this limitation,

Document Manager adds a Save As (Native) command to the Excel File

menu. Save As (Native) lets you access functionality that is not

available in the Document Manager version of the dialog box, but

cannot be used to save a file to a Document Manager library.

(SPR #HMON5G3STH, #HMON5K4KGM)

> Error occurs when performing any document action in a binder

if the binder contents were previously refreshed.

In the Windows Explorer (dual pane mode only), if you refresh the

contents of a binder and then try to perform a document action, an

error message displays. This occurs only if you use Notes protocol

for the library connection and have IE 6.x installed. There is no

known workaround for this issue, other than either installing an

earlier version of IE 6, or closing the Window and reopening it

without performing a refresh. To avoid this problem, use HTTP

protocol.(SPR #LSWN5C5M8M)

> Error occurs when accessing library in Doc Manager Neighborhood.

In an integrated application, when you click My Computer in the

Open dialog box, and then navigate to the Doc Manager Neighborhood

and try to access a connected library, an error message indicates

that you cannot access Document Manager binders and documents from

within the application. To avoid errors when accessing a library,

click the Document Manager icon in the dialog box. (SPR #DWHD5BBP35,

#DWHD5BBP9L)

> Error occurs when closing Excel review document.

When using Excel 2000/XP with Notes protocol, an error message

displays when you close an Excel review document. To avoid this

problem, use HTTP protocol with Excel. (SPR #SYMN5ARBBD)

> Save As creates document instead of saving existing document.

After updating a checked out Word, PowerPoint(R), or Excel document,

if you choose File - Save As, select the current document, and

then click Save, Document Manager creates a new document instead of

letting you save the changes to the existing document. To avoid

creating a new document, use File - Save to save changes to a

checked out document. To save the updated document as a new

document, choose File - Save As and specify a new file name.

(SPR #DWHD58GS9D)

> Context menu commands may not work correctly.

The View, Edit, and Print commands on a document's context menu

may not work correctly within the Office/ODMA common dialogs.

You can perform these actions successfully from Windows Explorer

or after opening the document in the appropriate application.

(SPR #HCLE5BHKED, #HCLE5BHR5T, #HCLE5BHRD2, #NMIL5BHS4F)

> Bookmark context menu does not include Delete command.

If you create a bookmark for a document that cannot be deleted

(for example, a locked draft or a document that is marked for

archive), the bookmark's context menu does not include a Delete

command that allows you to remove the bookmark. To delete the

bookmark, select it and then press Delete. (SPR #LSWN4YSQ3R)

There are some ODMA applications that do not invoke the ODMA

Close consistently. If this happens, you will need to use the

Notes client or the browser and manually check the document in.

For specific details, see Document Manager Help.

Notes protocol is not supported in the Document Manager Desktop

Enabler on clients that have multiple versions of Notes installed.

If the Document Manager Desktop Enabler is installed in a directory

with any spaces in its path, files with the .gth extension may

occasionally be left in the root directory. You should delete

these files.

ODMA-enabled applications and the Explorer client do not show

binders in the Checked Out view or the Favorites view.

You can't get the default toolbar of windows explorer, when you open

the Doc Manager Neighborhood. Instead, you can press ALT to show

Windows calssic file menu. (SPR #BHAN7SD698)

Vista doesn't support the format of DDM 7.0's help file. If you want

to see the help file, you should download the corresponding patch from

MS website. (SPR #BHAN7TC5AC)

The history and desktop button are deleted in the office dialog mode. (SPR #BHAN7TPAV7, BHAN7TQ8Y8)

You can't save the chat record of sametime in its own dialog. (SPR #BHAN7TT786)

You can't imoprt/export/attach documents directly from DDM. (SPR #BHAN7TW8UG， BHAN7TZA2D)

In Vista the normal admin user don't have the permission to create a

library to be seen by other users. If user want to create a library

that can be seen by other users, they should log in as build-in a

dministrator to create the library. (SPR #BHAN7U9DCK)

The tree view off Doc Manager Neighborhood in the left of window

explorer can't expand automatically with the folder changed.

(SPR #JHHO7VKACA)

The Doc Manager Neighborhood doesn't support Detail Pane and

Preview pane in the Layout item. (SPR #JHHO7VP5PT,JHHO7VP73S)
