Domino Engineering Articles
Technical articles covering HCL Domino, NSF processing, security, auditing, replication, migration, integration, synchronization and the Domino API Engine.
This section provides practical engineering guidance, security and audit scenarios, replication and migration patterns and integration concepts from real-world Domino environments. The focus is on controlled modernization, high-performance backend processing, reliable data handling and programmable analysis of business-critical NSF applications.

Domino Replication with Field Protection
Selecting which documents should participate in a Domino replication process is often only half of the problem. Sometimes a document should reach the target database, while selected fields inside that document must remain local.
This article demonstrates how formula-based document selection and field protection can be combined in a single controlled replication operation. Independent field lists can protect information on either side while the remaining document content is synchronized.
A real-world example is our own public Help database, which is derived from an internal Help database while internal metadata and encrypted fields remain outside the public database. The included evaluation example demonstrates the same principle with artificial test data.
