As I speak with partners and customers of the HCL Domino community interested in HCL Volt MX Go, a question I get asked is what needs to be installed. So, let's talk about the pieces that make up a Volt MX Go environment.

From a Domino perspective, consider the Domino REST API (DRAPI) the foundational component needed to make databases and their data available to a Volt MX Go application. DRAPI is installed on a Domino 12.0.2+ or Domino 14 server and runs like any other Domino server task. In your environment, you may choose to install DRAPI on an existing Domino server or deploy a new Domino server for DRAPI. When using a new Domino server, remember to create replicas of the Domino database/s that will be used by the Volt MX Go application/s. For specific details and step by step instructions on how to install and configure DRAPI refer to my 3 part blog series, Heather J Hottenstein.

Volt MX Go Foundry is a middleware server, providing APIs that allow the front-end application to talk to back-end data. For Domino there is a built in Domino Adapter, that tightly integrates Foundry and Domino. The Foundry Domino Adapter interfaces with DRAPI to access Domino data.
