Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help - Create an NSF-based update site and import the Eclipse updateSite content

NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE

Create an NSF-based update site and import the Eclipse updateSite content
The update site can reside on any HTTP or IBM Lotus Domino Domino server that can be reached using HTTP or Notes NRCP protocols. Importing the update site into the NSF-based update site is the recommended method for deploying features and plug-ins using widgets. The NSF-based update site provides a central location for housing features for user deployment and provisioning. In this example, the NSF-based update site will reside on WidgetCatalogServer.abx.com.

You can import an Eclipse update site into an NSF-based update site (for example updatesite.nsf) as described in the "Creating and using an NSF-based update site" topic in this guide and the general steps below.

To import an Eclipse update site into an NSF-based update site do the following:

1. Create the NSF-based update site as below:

Click File - Application - New.
Click Show Advanced Templates and specify the Eclipse Update Site (8x) template (updatesite.ntf) as the template.

The NSF-based update site template (updatesite.ntf) is installed as part of the Domino server install or upgrade.

Specify a title and NSF file name (for example, updatesite.nsf) for the new application and click OK.

2. Import the Eclipse update site into the new and open NSF-based update site as below.

Click Features in the left pane navigator and then click the Import Local Update Site button.
As prompted, browse to the update site, select its site.xml file, and click OK.
