Question

The IDM driver for Lotus Notes has a Domino add-in process called ndsrep that can detect (captures) changes within a Notes database. What is the message queue for ndsrep?

Answer

The Lotus Notes C API provides message queue APIs for threads. A message queue is the way that the Domino Console can communicate with (send commands to) Domino addIn processes such as adminp, amgr, http, fixup, ldap, and ndsrep.

When ndsrep loads, it creates a message queue using the driver name it is configured to publish for. This message queue name then becomes the Domino console "tell" command identifier, when communicating with the ndsrep add-in process.
