8 Google Calendar Connector for Lotus Notes Installation and Administration Guide

Architecture

This section covers the primary architectural components of the GCCLN.

Components

Calendar Connector database: This database contains all of the configuration information needed by the
connector and the agents that are required to provide the key connector features.

“(GetNotesFreeBusy)” agent: This agent acts as the web service provider for Google to Notes busy time
lookups.

“Update Calendars” agent: This agent carries out the following tasks:

1. Reads the Domino directory and creates a user profile internally for every user who has the “Calendar”

field set to “Google”.

2. Checks all existing profiles against the Person documents in the Domino directory. Any person whose

“Calendar” field is no longer set to “Google” is removed from the system.

3. Gets the Google Calendar busy time information for each user listed in the connector.
4. Writes the Google Calendar busy time information back to the Notes system.

The following diagrams show how these components fit together.
