Returns the name of the current Domino server and database.

Syntax

@DbName

Return value

server ; path

Text list with two elements:

• server is the hierarchical name of the server on which the current database resides.

  This @function returns an empty string ("") if:

  • the database is local
  • the formula is used in a Scheduled agent running on the server
  • the formula is used in a view column
  Use @Name to extract a part of the name; for example, [CN] to extract the common name.
• path is the path and file name of the database.

  This @function returns:

  • the path relative to the Notes or Domino data directory if the database is in the data directory
  • the absolute path if the database is outside the data directory
  If the database is accessed through a directory or database link, this @function returns the location of the:
  • link if the @function is running locally (even if the database is on a server), so that the database appears to be where the link is
  • actual database if the @function is running on a server (for example, a scheduled agent)

Be careful when using @DbName in a column formula. If you build a view, then move the database within the file directory, thus changing its path, you must force a rebuild of the view (Cntl+Shift+F9) for the function to display the updated database information.
