Data moves in and out of Domino executions in the following ways:
Every execution occurs in a project. Based on the Domino File System, the files for the active revision of the project are automatically loaded into the local execution volume for a Job or Workspace. These files are retrieved from the Domino File Store, and any changes to these files are written back to the Domino File Store as a new revision of the project’s files.
You can configure Domino executions to mount Domino datasets for input and output. Datasets are network volumes mounted in the execution environment. Mounting an input Dataset lets executions start quickly. It also gives them access to large quantities of data because the data is not transferred to the local execution volume until user code performs read operations from the mounted volume. Any data written to an output Dataset is saved by Domino as a new snapshot.
The following diagram shows the series of operations that happens when a user starts an execution (Job or Workspace) in Domino, and illustrates when and how various data systems can be used.
