Domino/Notes Development & Automation with the API Engine
I support companies in developing, extending, and modernizing IBM/HCL Domino and Notes applications — from classic application development to integrations and fully automated data workflows.
For extensive automation and integration scenarios, I use the API Engine, a powerful Domino server add-in developed by our sister company SLNetsolutions GbR. It enables flexible and reliable import/export processes, cross-database data handling, integrations, and time- or event-driven operations directly on the Domino server.
Ideal for organizations that continue to rely on Domino productively, want to modernize existing environments, or aim to integrate Domino efficiently with other systems.
Domino-related projects are generally carried out through our sister company SLNetsolutions GbR.
API Engine – Automation & Integrations for Domino
The API Engine is a powerful Domino server add-in developed by our sister company SLNetsolutions GbR. It enables complex automation and integration processes directly on the Domino server — time-based, event-driven, or manual.
Custom Scripting Language – Inspired by Notes @Functions
Programs are stored in a Domino database and executed directly by the add-in. The flexible scripting language allows data processing, logic, calculations, and system interactions using a clear and efficient syntax.
Typical Use Cases
- Imports & exports (MySQL, SQL, XML, CSV, EDIFACT, …)
- Automated operations on Domino databases & documents
- Selective replication using selection formulas
- Exclusion of specific fields during replication
- Mass operations & batch processing
Integration, Use Cases & Licensing
System Integrations & Data Flows
- Integration of external interfaces & APIs
- Communication with web services and third-party systems
- Automated data flows between Domino and other platforms
- Time-based, event-driven, and cron-like scheduled processes
Who Is the API Engine Designed For?
- Organizations that continue to use Domino productively
- Companies with heterogeneous system landscapes
- Businesses with automated data and workflow processes
- Customers using Domino as a central backend (e.g., workflows, archiving, ERP integrations)
Licensing & Projects
The API Engine is developed and licensed exclusively by SLNetsolutions GbR. I use it in customer projects to create scripts, data workflows, and tailored integrations based on specific requirements.
Summary
With Domino/Notes development and the API Engine, existing Domino environments can be modernized, automated, and seamlessly integrated with other systems — without media disruptions, without migration, and without costly redevelopment.
