The common, portable format used to store information in a Notes database.

20) What is OID (originator ID) ?

A 28-byte identifier that contains a note's unique universal ID (UNID), which is essential
For replication. The OID contains a UNID, which uniquely identifies the note and all
replicas of the note. The OID also contains a sequence number and a time stamp that
together indicate how often the note has been modified And when it was last modified.
Replication uses all three OID values to synchronize changes between replicas of a note.

Program document is a document that is used to automatically run a server task at a
specific time.
25) What is Domino cluster and what are the advantage?
A Domino Cluster is a group of server set up so that a user can attach any server with in
this group and access data. Replica are stored in all servers and load balancing is set up so
that the work is shared equally among all the server so that no single server in the group
is over worked.
Advantage of Cluster:-
a) Workload Balancing.
b) High availability of databases.
c) Easy Administration.
d) Scalability.
e) Data Synchronization.
f) Data backup and Disaster Planning.
26) What is Roaming user profile?
A Roaming user are able to access notes from multiple clients in the domain and retain
there personal information. A Roaming server are used and users file are stored in the
server. When a user log in to server as a roaming user , their information is retrieved
from the server and presented it to user.
A Roaming user can create at the time of Registration.
When Roaming users are created, the files Personal Address,Bookmark and journal are
also created and stored .
27) What is Archive policy and types of policy and how we will implement it it?
Archiving is beneficial for administrator and users in that free up database space by
storing documents in archive database.

A Certificate Authority is used to issue a Trusted Certificate that will be used to enable a
client and a server or two server to communicate in a secure manner. A CA key is made
available to the domain via a Domino Web server.
