CoexLinks™ 2.8c - Coexistence for Domino & Outlook
In the real world, not everybody has Notes, so your Notes mail must be accessible by others.
When applications or people use your Domino server to send mail to a non-Domino server, or from a Domino server to a non-Notes mailbox, and the mail contains doclinks, the doclinks should be cleanly converted to a format accepted by the recipient. Even if you have a third party application which sends automatic approval links, CoexLinks will handle it without any modification to the application. CoexLinks can be configured to send NDL files, Notes URL's or HTTP URL's, but it all happens in the background without any agents or scripts or administration. Simple configuration is done once while installing, and then you can just forget CoexLinks is there.
The power of collaboration married to the reality of coexistence.

| Testimonial |
| "Our company has many Lotus Notes\Domino workflow applications that notify users of pending approvals through emails containing Lotus Notes doclinks. When the decision was made to migrate off Lotus Notes email to Exchange email, we needed to find a quick and easy solution to enable our users to access the workflow documents easily within Outlook. Genii's CoexLinks was the perfect solution. It converts our workflow doclinks into attachments that our Outlook users launch to access Lotus Notes documents with the Lotus Notes client." - Aroon Mital, Samsung SDS America. |
Frequently Asked Questions about CoexLinks
1) Do I have to change the design of my applications to use CoexLinks?
No. CoexLinks runs as a plug-in, invisibly making changes under the level of the individual databases, with absolutely no code changes required. This makes it very easy to install, and allows it to work with third party packages which may send doclinks as part of an approval process or news distribution process. These third party packages cannot be altered, so it is important that CoexLinks does not require code changes.
2) Is CoexLinks easy to install and configure?
Yes. Installation is simply the addition of a single DLL (shared library on UNIX systems) and a license file, both in the same directory as your Domino server software. Configuration is almost as simple, requiring the addition of a few lines in your NOTES.INI file. After that, CoexLinks runs as part of the Domino server software. If you still are not sure, watch the flash demo CoexLinks: Working doclinks in Outlook in two minutes which shows the full installation process.
3) Does CoexLinks use any unsupported calls that might cause trouble in future versions?
No. CoexLinks is written using completely standard and portable calls in the C API toolkit, along with manipulation of structures defined in the C API headers. This doesn't mean it was easy to write, just that all calls and structures are guaranteed by IBM not to change, thus ensuring reasonable upward compatibility.
4) Is CoexLinks tied to a particular version or point release of Domino 5/6/6.5/7/8?
No. CoexLinks should work with all versions and point releases in Domino 5, Domino 6/6.5, Domino 7 and Domino 8 without any alteration. Obviously, feature releases such as 8.5 or 9 would require re-testing before they could be certified as supported.
5) Will CoexLinks redirect my mail to my new address?
No. All routing and redirection should be handled by the normal Notes/Domino mechanisms, in this case by adding a name to the forward eMail Address field in the Person document of the Domino Directory. CoexLinks is only responsible for converting links, not any other routing or redirection.
6) How quickly will CoexLinks pay for itself?
That depends entirely on your Notes/Domino applications and what the cost of not having such a solution would be. With even one major Notes/Domino application which uses links as part of a workflow, you can save the whole cost almost instantly simply by not having to modify or migrate the application.
7) Do you have local support in [name that region]?
Yes and no. Our main offices are in Cleveland, OH in the United States, and we have a support center in the United Kingdom as well, but support is available all over the world. With customers in 46 countries, we are very familiar with the issues in supporting companies in different locales. When a problem arises, our developers and support staff are prepared to deal with it no matter where the customer resides.
8) How do I know Genii Software will still be there next week or next year?
There are never any absolute guarantees, but Genii Software has been around since 1994, and providing Notes solutions and supporting Notes customers since 1995. While bigger companies have failed with the dot com bust or simply through overreaching, we have stayed strong and grown by focusing on our areas of expertise and by never forgetting the customer.
