Lotus® Notes®

Lotus Notes® must be installed on the same development workstation as Rational® SDP in order to locally test a HATS plug-in targeted for Lotus Notes®. Lotus Notes® must not already be running when you attempt to test your project because only one instance of Lotus Notes® can be running at any given time. See Configuring the target platform.

To launch your project in the local test environment for Lotus Notes®, perform the following steps:
  1. From the HATS Projects view, right-click on the project and select either Run or Debug.
  2. If you selected Debug , respond Yes, No, or Cancel to the Display Terminal dialog to specify whether you want to see the host display terminal while testing your application.
  3. In the Run (or Debug) Configurations dialog, HATS automatically creates and configures a default launch configuration named hostaccess.
  4. On the Main tab, in the Program to Run section, be sure com.ibm.notes.branding.notes appears in the Run a product field.
  5. On the Main tab, in the Java Runtime Environment section, confirm that Notes 8.5.1 VM is listed in the Runtime JRE field.
  6. Click Run (or Debug) to launch the configuration.
  7. A new instance of Lotus Notes® is launched.
  8. Click Open on the main toolbar and select Host Access.
  9. Your HATS application is listed in the Applications view. To start your application, either double-click on it or right-click and select Open.
  10. A new instance of the selected application is opened and its transformation view is displayed
