TUNING
The following procedure describes creating an agent using simple actions. You can also create agents using Notes® formulas, LotusScript®, or Java™.
When you run the agent, if Domino® cannot copy all specified documents to an archive database -- for example, if there is not enough disk space on the target folder -- the agent stops.
For more information on Notes formulas, LotusScript, and Java see IBM® Domino Designer 9.0.1 Social Edition Help.
