I want to extract NSF Lotus Notes files under linux. are there any opensource

  • 0

I want to extract NSF Lotus Notes files under linux. are there any opensource tools without the need of installing Lotus Note server ?

I do not have any experience with lotus notes my only task is to extract everything from NSF archive.

What i have found over web only said to install Domino server and use it via MAPI or COM which is not my option , i need to run under linux and i will only get multiple NSF files no server access.

Is the file structure is documented ? any documents available ? i cant find any NSF format specifications yet .

Any implementation of command line tools that works under Linux without Domino Installation or any lib / api that works without Domino will work.

Thanks

    You can’t extract data from Lotus Notes without at least having the Lotus Notes client installed.

    There are a number of ways to extract data from Notes. You can write Java or LotusScript agents to export to file formats. You can access Lotus Notes via the Lotus Notes SQL driver and use SQL queries or MS Access to extract data. There is an Export to Excel database you can setup to extract to Excel. And more. All of them require the Notes Client (and the associated DLLs) to get at the data within, however.
