[SOLVED] IBM Domino - Which document is unique for Groups

IBM Domino - Which document is unique for Groups

Is there a unique document value for each groups inside a names.nsf?

I would like to add and remove members inside a group over TDI Notes Connector. I realize when I choose the ListName as link criteria, there are sometimes multiple lookup results.

Please note that we do have multiple domino servers. The names.nsf and the groups are replicating, so I'm looking for a document (unique ID) for a group which is not changing on different domino servers.

Thank you.

Solution

Every document in Notes/Domino has a UniversalID that is a unique identifier. Unfortunately this identifier is NOT saved in any field. But I googled a bit about TDI Notes Connector and found this page

And it seems that TDI adds the universalid as field to every document it retrieves as $$UNID:

The following Entry Attributes are added by the Connector itself (their values are not available as document items):

$$UNID - the Universal ID of the document (see "The $$UNID and $$NoteID Attributes")
...
The $$UNID and $$NoteID Attributes
The Universal ID (UnID) is the value that uniquely identifies a Domino document. All replicas of the document have the same UnID and the UnID is not changed when the document is modified. This value should be used for tracking objects during synchronization. The Universal ID value is mapped to the $$UNID Attribute of Entry objects delivered by the Connector. The value of the $$UNID Attribute is a string of 32 characters, each one representing a hexadecimal digit (0-9, A-F).
