Choosing between WAS Classic and WAS Liberty

“There are a number of aspects to consider when choosing between the traditional WebSphere Application Server (WAS full profile, or WAS Classic) and WAS Liberty for deployment. If you

have a hard requirement which is only available on one or the other (such as a particular API) then the choice is easy, but as the Liberty function has grown, it has become more common to

need to weigh the pros and cons of each more closely; to consider topology choices, operational capabilities and security options. Over one hundred and fifty IBM products have shipped with

Liberty as their internal application server and an ever-growing number of IBM SaaS offerings, such as BPM Workflow and Watson Analytics, are running on Liberty.”

Important Tips on Router & SMTP mail routing

This open mic presentation has 40 tips on the mail routing subject.

The tip #24 – How to make Domino relay server to route mail to mutiple SMTP hosts help me today.

Within the Domino “Relay host” field, two list delimiters are allowed – comma( , ) and semicolon( ;). The delimiter will set the method

Method 1:Load balancing mode : host1, host2

In this example, the router will take the group of hosts at the same preference level (host1 and host2) and try to connect to these hosts in a random order.

Method 2:Fail over mode : host1; host2

Inthis example, the router will take preference of first host (host1) to route emails. If host1 stops responding, then the Domino router will move on to the next host (host2) i.e the next

preference level

Unable to connect Java console to Domino server after applying JVM updater SR16FP20

This behavior is related to an intentional change in Java6SR16FP20 to tighten security by disabling the MD5 algorithm by default in latest JVM release. The Domino Server Controller, however, currently requires MD5. IBM is investigating a solution to leverage a more secure cipher for the Domino Server Controller (a.k.a. Domino Java Console). This issue is tracked as SPR# RSSNA6UU79.

How to rename all Connect 2016 presentation files at once

After download all files i just want to rename the files to presentation titles. I search for a rename software but the problem was not about software. The problem was how to get the relationship with the file and the presentation name.

I open every pdf file and get the presentation title and create the relationship. After that a small java program rename all files on a folder.

The file bellow has the relationship

renamer.txt

The java code bellow rename the files on the folder. Just put the reanamer.txt and Rename.jar on the same folder of the dowloaded files and run java -jar Rename.jar

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Rename {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
       BufferedReader br = null;
       String line = "";
       String cvsSplitBy = ",";
       String csvFile = "renamer.txt";
       br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(csvFile));

       try {
           while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {

                   String[] oldName = line.split(cvsSplitBy);

                   System.out.println(oldName[0]);
                   System.out.println(oldName[1]);

                   File oldfile = new File (oldName[0]+".pdf");
                   File newfile = new File (oldName[1]+".pdf");
                   if (oldfile.renameTo(newfile)) {
                       System.out.println("Rename sucessfull");
                   }

               }
       } catch (IOException e) {

           e.printStackTrace();
       }

           try {
               br.close();
           } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
   }

Moving IBM Connections databases to another disk

On my connections test server i installed everything in one machine.

The home directory for db2inst1 user ends the file space

The databases and all containers are under the default of /home/db2inst1. So we can use db2relocatedb to move them.

First i tested this here with the sample database, and it worked. Your configuration file should look like the following (This is for FILES DB, you will have to change at least the DB_NAME for the others):

DB_NAME=Files
DB_PATH=/home/db2inst1,/dados
INSTANCE=db2inst1
STORAGE_PATH=/home/db2inst1,/dados/db2inst1

/* NOTE that I am assuming that all databases are using the default storage path like the FILES DB is. If not, you will need to modify this. You can verify by running for each database:

db2 “SELECT VARCHAR(STORAGE_GROUP_NAME, 30) AS STOGROUP, VARCHAR(DB_STORAGE_PATH, 40) AS STORAGE_PATH FROM TABLE(ADMIN_GET_STORAGE_PATHS(”,-1)) AS T”

So if the output shows /home/db2inst1, then you can use my example above. Otherwise you will need to use the actual value for te original location. */

LOG_DIR=oldDirPath,newDirPath

/* For the log directory, with the FILES DB, you are suing the default of /home/db2inst1/etc etc, so you do not need to set this. If the others are the same, then you do not need to set them either. Otherwise you have to.

FAILARCHIVE_PATH=newDirPath
LOGARCHMETH1=newDirPath
LOGARCHMETH2=newDirPath
MIRRORLOG_PATH=newDirPath
OVERFLOWLOG_PATH=newDirPath

/* For the above, for the FILES database, you are not using any of them so you can ignore these. For the other databases, if you are not using them OR you are using the default of /home/db2inst1, then you can ignore them.

So ultimately for the FILES database, you would have:

DB_NAME=Files
DB_PATH=/home/db2inst1,/dados
INSTANCE=db2inst1
STORAGE_PATH=/home/db2inst1,/dados/db2inst1

If the other databases are just like files (regarding storage path and log directory), then you will have the same thing except for the database name.

Then perform the following steps:

1. Stop the Connections server and terminate all connections and deactivate the databases – “db2 deactivate db <dbname>”.
2. Stop the instance – “db2stop”.
3. MOVE (do NOT copy!!) the database directory to the new location (VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE INSTANCE IS STOPPED!!):

mv /home/db2inst1/db2inst1 /dados

Once done you should have /dados/db2inst1/<all the database stuff>. Since all databases are under this directory, you only need to execute the one move command.

4. Ensure that the owner/group/permissions for /dados/db2inst1 are correct (should match old location).
5. Then you would execute the db2relocatedb command FOR EACH database. DO NOT START THE INSTANCE UNTIL ALL ARE DONE!!.

db2relocatedb -f <config file name>

You should see the following output:

[db2inst1@connections ~]$ /home/db2inst1/sqllib/bin/db2relocatedb -f blogs.cfg
Files and control structures were changed successfully.
Database was catalogued successfully.
6. Once the above has been done for each database, you should be able to start the instance and then connect to the databases.

Thanks to IBM IM Support.
