## Additional installation

[Installing the RapidiConnector](https://myrapidi.com/wiki/installing_the_rapidiconnector.md)

  

If you want to transfer data to/from Lotus Notes, you have to do the following:

- Install a Lotus Notes Client on the computer where the RapidiConnector is installed.

## Configuration

The fields of the Lotus Notes Data Source Card are as follows:

- **Description:** Fill in a descriptive text.
- **Server Connect:** If the Lotus Notes database is placed on a server you specify the name of the server.
- **Database:** Specify the path to the database (relative to the data directory if on a server).
- **Installation Path:** Specify the directory where Lotus Notes is installed (the program directory). Be sure that notes.ini is either in this directory or in the path. The id-file referenced in this notes.ini file is used for the connection. Please ensure that this id has access to the server/databases you want to read/write. The id should be set up not to have any password (you should limit access to the id-file itself instead).
