10. Copyright © 2020 HCL Technologies Limited | www.hcltechsw.com 5 But Domino is more than just CRUD and schemas Not all Domino field types don’t neatly map beyond Domino Not every field should be read/write to all users Security restrictions return incorrect HTTP codes Treating Domino as CRUD ignores millions of lines of business logic

11. Volt MX Architecture

12. Existing Domino Applications • Forms and views – IN NSF • Business logic (script libraries) – IN NSF • Workflow (agents) – IN NSF

13. Scenario 1: Workflow in HCL Notes • Action triggered • Workflow logic runs in Domino script • Updates field values accordingly • Saves to Domino

14. Scenario 2: Volt MX App • Action triggered • Add integration service in Volt MX Foundry • Volt MX Foundry calls Domino REST service • Domino code parses request body • Domino code updates and saves document Refactoring + many additional lines of code

15. Scenario 2a: Any REST App • Action triggered • Application calls Domino REST service • Domino code parses request body • Domino code updates and saves document Refactoring + many additional lines of code

16. Copyright © 2020 HCL Technologies Limited | www.hcltechsw.com 11 • REST is typical HTTP communication • Beyond Domino, Agents are the entry point to LotusScript • Agents are not designed for REST Domino Agents are crucial

18. Copyright © 2020 HCL Technologies Limited | www.hcltechsw.com 13 Volt MX LotusScript Toolkit • Develop in the open with the community • Local replicas and Nomad mobile out-of-scope • If local replicas are in use, assume lack of connectivity • Generic payload • New Classes for building / receiving Volt MX Foundry calls (and Project Keep calls!) • Extension of base classes for building REST service calls • Wrappers for processing request body • Wrappers for building headers • Wrappers for converting required fields to JSON object • Wrappers for generating response body • Can we use fluent APIs to allow chaining? • Wrapper for adding callback URL • Server-based scheduled agent to process workflow • Use OpenLog for error handling

21. Copyright © 2020 HCL Technologies Limited | www.hcltechsw.com 16 Next Steps • Slack channel in OpenNTF Slack  • Build community • Development • Testing • Samples • Documentation • Identify features and MVP • Allocate roles • Plan for 1.0 (March 2021)

22. Copyright © 2020 HCL Technologies Limited | www.hcltechsw.com 17 But Why Stop There? • LotusScript Uber Library • e.g. Bubble Sorts • Developed by HCL and community • Apache-Licensed • Attribution is crucial • Some functions may need to be built from scratch

24. NEXT WEBINAR • TBD

25. HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM OPENNTF! • Happy Holidays to all and best wishes for 2021!
