Notes.ini documentation on Lotus developerWorks
The Notes.ini variable documentation can now be found only on the IBM Lotus developerWorks Web site
(http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/documentation/notes-ini/), where it can be updated on a
regular and more frequent basis.

Notes.ini variables through policies. The documentation also includes information on the Notes.ini
variables that are found in the Configuration document for the Domino server.
