Filter rules take the form:
filter_rule_name = Notes_Attribute_Name, OPERATOR, Value1 | Value2...
Value1 must exist. If you need multiple values, you can separate them by using a vertical bar (|) or ampersand (&). The vertical bar is used as a logical OR operator, and the ampersand is used as a logical AND operator. When multiple filters are in use, the results of the filters are determined by logically ANDing them together. The results are used to determine if an entry should be synchronized.
The rule for entries being synchronized from Lotus Notes to Exchange Server must be specified in the LME-NOTES-DXANOTES section of the Exchconn.ini file, located in the Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn folder. The rule must start with a prefix of "filter" (for example, "filter_company = "). You can have multiple rules as long as each rule begins with the proper prefix.
The
Notes_Attribute_Name should be one of the valid Lotus Notes attributes as defined in a person or group document in Lotus Notes. Thus, filter rules are applied based on an attribute value of a person and group document. If you specify an invalid attribute name, that particular filter will be void but the connector will continue to run with no error.
NOTE: The attribute name does not correspond to the first column of the Amap.tbl file. The Amap.tbl file is used by the Exchange Notes Connector to define mapping rules.
Again, the
OPERATOR of the filter rule is limited to either EQ for equal or NE for not equal. The filter rule is an inclusive operator, that is, it propagates objects that fulfill the filter requirement.
You must recycle the connector every time you update or modified the filter rules.
