The paper describes the steps and best practices for migrating an existing standalone WebSphere Portal 6.0 environment to a standalone WebSphere Portal V7 and should be followed by the majority of customers, even those in a Web Content Management environment.

The foundation for this document is the initial release of the V7 Information Center with additional information based on the outcome and experiences of our pre-release testing. With this document, we provide a more comprehensive guide and highlight some of the common pitfalls and mistakes when migrating.

Found it today on TN 1487071 but IBM doen´t tell the size of the very large attachment. I think to avoid this problem on the mail servers is to setup the max message size.

Problem

If serveral very large attachments are sent to DAOS enabled databases the daosfication process can use so much server resources as to be a risk to server function.  The only way to stop it is to restart the server.

Content

Since the Daos process is event driven stopping the event in process will be sufficent, it will not attempt to daosify the attachment again.  However there is no task that can be brought down to stop DAOS, the server must be brought down.  If the server is clustered this can be done one cluster mate at a time while user’s fail over.  While the server is down look in the DAOS directory for large attachments created at the time the issue began.  These can be removed.

Users who have the attachment and attempt to open it will produce messages on the console

The database Pathname.nsf attempted to access a missing file: Pathname.nlo: File does not exist

After the attachment has been removed from all servers the link can be removed from the mailfiles with the command fixup Path/name.nsf -J -D can remove the now bad links.

The DAOS catalog will need to be resynchronized after this, it is best to do so when the server  is less busy/

Portal search engine fails to crawl same content that may reside in different site areas of the same library

By default the crawler considers the content to be same and will only crawl the content item once even if it resides under different site areas. To resolve this issue simply add search service property CHECK_DUPLICATES = false and create new search collection

É verdade o que me foi dito.

 Consegui um reconhecimento profissional que jamais imaginei ter.

Obrigado a todos que estão acessando o blog  pois isto só incentiva a compartilhar mais e mais informação.

IBM had recommended the following command to enable DAOS:

This enables DAOS and enables attachment compression at the same time.
load compact  mailexample.nsf  -c -ZU -DAOS

The new recommendation is to perform 2 compacts.  

First, enable compression and then enable DAOS.  This is critical for customers which have upgraded from 6.5x to 8.5

load compact  mailexample.nsf -c -ZU  

load compact  mailexample.nsf -c -DAOS

After upgrading Sametime Server to 8.5.1 users using Notes 8.x Basic and older Notes clients cannot log in

In the [Config] section of the sametime.ini section add ST_MINIMAL_CLIENT_VERSION=6510 (or lower) to resolve this issue.

Note that all servers in the environment must have the same values for both VP_SECURITY_LEVEL and ST_MINIMAL_CLIENT_VERSION to communicate with each other.

When you upgrade to domino 8.5.3 debug_threadid=1 is a default value and you console looks like (see the hex numbers on the left)

Today i upgraded 3 Domino Servers and one Sametime Server. 🙂

Image:Upgrade to Domino 8.5.3 show hex characteres on server console

Just type set config  debug_threadid=0 on the console

This issue is documented in APAR # IC60787 where DATA PROTECTION FOR DOMINO BACKUP FAILS WHEN DATABASE IS BUSY BY DOMINO SERVER.  

The fix for this problem is contained in the latest 5.5.3 release of the TDP Domino:

TDP Domino 5.5.3 also addresses another key issue where TDP Domino may crash on files with local access protection (APAR # IC64849):

From the TN 1358548. Before implementing DAOS take care of your backup strategy

In a standard Notes® database (NSF), the attachments are stored inside the NSF file itself, and the database is self-contained. In order to back up a standard Notes database, only the NSF file itself needs to be backed up. After you introduce DAOS, the NSF files that participate in DAOS contain only references to the NLO files where the attachment content is stored. As a result, backing up the NSF alone is no longer enough. The NLO data needs to be backed up as well.
