Description

With EnableXPagesOnClient=1, the XPages in the Notes Client (XPiNC) runtime is enabled. This allows XPages applications to run directly inside the Notes Rich Client – including offline capability with locally replicated databases. By default, the runtime is off because it occupies additional memory and is not needed for classic Notes applications.
XPiNC is typically used when existing XPages applications are to be used in the Notes client without switching to a browser, or when an offline scenario is required.

Example configuration

EnableXPagesOnClient=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • The memory footprint of the Notes client increases noticeably (embedded JVM + XPages runtime).
  • No longer recommended for new projects – the earlier XPiNC strategy has since been discontinued in favor of browser/Verse frontends.
  • Takes effect after a restart of the Notes client.
  • Prerequisite: the database property Display XPages runtime in Notes Client must be set.
  • Can be distributed centrally via desktop policy.
