About <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> and supported applications<br />
Any application that is not integrated with <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> is a “supported”<br />
application. <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> can store and manage the content created by<br />
supported applications, but these applications work with <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong><br />
differently than integrated applications do. <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> does not replace or<br />
add options to the File menu or toolbar for supported applications.<br />
When using a supported application, you can’t work in an applicationcentric<br />
method. You’ll need to go to a Notes client or browser to store or<br />
retrieve <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> documents. Then you can choose to view or edit the<br />
document, causing <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> to launch the associated application and<br />
open the document.<br />
If you edit a checked-out document, you’ll need to save it to the local file<br />
system, then check it in via one of the <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> clients (Explorer,<br />
browser, or Notes). When you check in the document, <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong><br />
retrieves it from the local file system, saves it, and checks it in.<br />
When you use the <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> Neighborhood in Windows Explorer, you<br />
can open documents with file extensions from non-ODMA-supported<br />
applications such as <strong>Lotus</strong> 1-2-3®, <strong>Lotus</strong> Approach®, Notepad, Adobe<br />
Photoshop, Paint, and Macromedia Dreamweaver.<br />
About <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> in a distributed environment<br />
<strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> lets you keep multiple copies (replicas) of any single database<br />
on multiple servers to allow users in various locations to access the same<br />
information. Replication is the process of exchanging modifications between<br />
replicas.<br />
<strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> uses server-to-server replication, a two-way exchange of information<br />
whereby each server alternately sends updates to, and receives<br />
updates from, the other:<br />
• When a server sends updates to a replica on another server, it is<br />
considered the source server.<br />
• When it receives updates, it is considered the destination server.<br />
The <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> Transaction database communicates these updates, or<br />
“events,” between the servers. The Transaction database also monitors this<br />
activity and controls access to your documents. New replicas are not<br />
actually created, nor are updates recorded, until the Transaction database<br />
replicates to the destination server.<br />
