Placeholders are primarily used for generic notes.ini variables (e.g. MC_DB=%notes_homeserver%!!panagenda\panagenda.nsf) and for a handful of special actions in the configuration database (e.g. Backup, Roaming and  Location actions).

Placeholders are replaced when reading a corresponding notes.ini entry, respectively DURING THE EXECUTION of an Action.
Contrary to references if resolving a placeholder fails, the respective Action is still executed.

In the notes.ini/Notes preference file

Placeholders can be used in the following MC notes.ini variables:
MC_DB, MC_DB_Unavailable, MC_DB_NotResolvable, MC_WorkingDirectory, MC_NetworkDirectory, MC_ActionsXMLStubPath

%REGISTRY_*%registry:*For example %registry_HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\panagenda\subkey% will resolve the value of "subkey" in the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\panagenda"

For Backup/Roaming keys

Placeholders are used for backup/roaming keys instead of references for two reasons

  • The action needs both the replaced and the original value (e.g. %OS_USER%) to see if a key matches a certain set
  • For backup actions that target the filesystem the keys also define the folder names, these placeholders replace character that the OS would not allow in folder/file names

%LOOKUP_MAILLOCATION_AUTODETECT%notes:userdetails_maillocation or
notes:userdetails_mailfile_local

This will lookup the full path of the mail file according to the type of location being managed:

For locations pointing to a server mail file this will return %LOOKUP_MAILLOCATION%
For locations pointing to a local mail file replica this will return %LOOKUP_MAILFILE_LOCAL%

%LOOKUP_MAILFILE%notes:userdetails_mailfileThe path of the mail file on the user's home server, e.g. mail/user.nsf
%LOOKUP_MAILFILE_LOCAL%notes:userdetails_mailfile_localThe path of the local mail file replica, e.g. mail/user.nsf
%LOOKUP_MAILFILE_AUTODETECT%notes:userdetails_mailfile or
notes:userdetails_mailfile_local

This will lookup the path of the mail file according to the type of location being managed:

For locations pointing to the server mail file this will return %LOOKUP_MAILFILE%
For locations pointing to a local mail file replica this will return %LOOKUP_MAILFILE_LOCAL%

%LOOKUP_MAILREPID%notes:userdetails_mailrepidThe replica id, e.g. A12272D7:005F2ACB
