Using the Window
sNotesClientPlug-InwithLocalCache
Windows client
s can use the plug-in together with Local Cache for no-click access to archived messages.
The plug-in interacts with the cache in three ways:
• Message is in th e cac he: When users open a tombstoned message, the plug-in looks for a pointer
to the message in the cache. If it is found, the plug-in it retrieves the message from the ca che and
automatically displays it for the user. This improves performa nce and reduces the load on the IAP.
• Message is not
in the cac he an d user is onlin e : When users open a tombstoned message that is
not in Local C
ache, the plug-in retrieves the m essage from the IA P and d isplays it for the user.
• Messa g e is not in the cache and user is of fline: When users open a tombstoned message that
is not in the cache, they see text stating that the message has been archived. The m essage
cannot be ret
rieved until the user is online.
NOTE:
Make sure that the HPCLIENTEXCLUDE=localcache, taskldr=0 variable is listed in
notes.ini. This variable is required for proper functionality when the plug-in a nd Local Cache are
used togeth
er. It is added in variableInstallation.ini and executed when the plug-in installer
is run. Se e “
Configuring the plug-in installer” on pa ge 120 for more information.
