My costumer asked me for a web-based picture resizing solution. It won't be a big issue... but nothing is so simply that looks at first sight. They have a hosted Domino server. In this case they have no ability to run agents with restricted rights. This was the challenge.
The solution: First I created a new application where the web users are submitting their new pictures. This application has a scheduled replication on a computer which is located at the office and always in use. The Lotus Notes has a preference under the Basic Notes Client Configuration for enabling scheduled local agents. I checked it in (thanks for LogMeIn). The "resizer" agent runs on the local machine.

Nowadays this environment works very well. Yes, the perfect solution is when the "resizer" agent running on a server (not for the user interact of-course), but they still paying 79 USD/month for the Domino Server (within a big iron). They are satisfied.
