Enable excluded database files and directories

About this task

The list of databases available when you define a schema in the Admin UI is based on the complete list of NSF files, except for the excluded NSF files and NSF files in the excluded directories defined in the following JSON object in config.json:

{
  "nsfExclusions": {
    "mail/": true,
    "KeepConfig.nsf": true,
    "KeepConfig.ntf": true,
    "KeepAgents.nsf": true,
    "KeepAgents.ntf": true,
    "KeepOAuth.ntf": true,
    "oauth.nsf": true,
    "names.nsf": true,
    "*.ntf": true,
    "help/": true,
    "as_": true,
    "MJ": true,
    "domino/": true
  }
}

The procedure guides you on how to include the excluded NSF files and NSF files in excluded directories in the list of databases available when you define a schema.

Procedure

  1. Create a JSON file using a text editor.

  2. Copy the complete JSON object to the JSON file.

    {
  "nsfExclusions": {
    "mail/": true,
    "KeepConfig.nsf": true,
    "KeepConfig.ntf": true,
    "KeepAgents.nsf": true,
    "KeepAgents.ntf": true,
    "KeepOAuth.ntf": true,
    "oauth.nsf": true,
    "names.nsf": true,
    "*.ntf": true,
    "help/": true,
    "as_": true,
    "MJ": true,
    "domino/": true
  }
}

  3. Set the value of the file or directory that you want to enable to false.

    For example, if you want to include names.nsf in the list of databases available when you define a schema in the Admin UI, set its value to false.

    {
  "nsfExclusions": {
    "mail/": true,
    "KeepConfig.nsf": true,
    "KeepConfig.ntf": true,
    "KeepAgents.nsf": true,
    "KeepAgents.ntf": true,
    "KeepOAuth.ntf": true,
    "oauth.nsf": true,
    "names.nsf": false,
    "*.ntf": true,
    "help/": true,
    "as_": true,
    "MJ": true,
    "domino/": true
  }
}

  4. Save the JSON file in the keepconfig.d directory.

    Tip

    Use a filename for the JSON file that reveals its purpose, such as enable-names-nsf.json. To learn more on how JSON files in keepconfig.d are processed, see Understanding configuration.
