UseImageResourceDatabase

Description:

II2LN has the ability to store images as image resources in Lotus Notes. This is typically used when you want to show images in Notes views, and thus use theImportImageAsResource import option. There is however a limit to how many images that can be stored as resources, and the maximum number is in the range 5-7000 images, depending on the length of the field names you choose to use.

In order to overcome this limitation, one option is to spread the image resources on multiple databases. You only need to use multiple databases for the image resources themselves, and the original database retain its original design and function. The original database can thus refer to other databases for the resources. You can test this yourself by manually inserting a resource in any rich text field via the Notes client (use menu Create -> Insert image resource ...). You can insert resources from any database!

To alleviate this challenge, you can specify the UseImageResourceDatabase import option. II2LN will then completely automatically create and maintain the image resource databases for you.

Declaration:

UseImageResourceDatabase:<Database name prefix>

Parameters:

Notes:

II2LN will use the prefix parameter when it create a new image resource database. Every database name will then have a sequence number as suffix. For example;

UseImageResourceDatabase:ImgRes

This will make the first database have the name ImgRes001.nsf. The next database will have the name ImgRes002.nsf and so on.

Also note that the image resource databases are created with the same Access Control Lists as the original database.
