Expert: Paski K. Paskaradevan Date: 6/11/2008 Subject: Script to change forwarding of email
Question QUESTION: I am looking for a Lotus Notes script which can be run by someone other than the notes admin to allow them to change who will be receiving emails sent to the on-call mailbox when that individual is on call. We use one mailbox for the on-call problems and I would like to be able to run the script on monday morning and key in the next person who is on call's email address so they can then get the emails.
ANSWER: Hi,
If you write an agent and schedule it, you do not need anyone to run that agent. Provided you have sufficient rights to run scheduled agent on the server where the mail box resides (this is a server setting, your notes admin should enable it for you). However, if you are not a skilled programmer, they may not give you this right since a faulty agent can bring down the server big time.
Regards.

QUESTION: since the on call schedule changes based on who is out of town, I need the ability to input who will be on call, and I would like to have the ability to have non-admin person run this script.
Answer Hi,
Create a lookup document to store the on call person.
I am not understanding why you want a non admin person to run this. The easiest is to schedule it so that it will run automatically rather than someone baby sit it.
You do not need to be an admin to run agents. You give them at least author access to the database and call this agent from a button/hotspot/view action etc. etc.
