DST in Brazil

  • 08 Oct, 2013

Every year we have problems with DST. Scheduling, messages.

 It´s common here in Brazil administrators setup the OS (windows or linux) to not observe DST  but some companies observe DST.

On the Notes Client  “The “Use the Operating System’s Timezone Settings” should always be set to Yes for all Notes client versions

Setting this parameter to “No” may cause unpredictable results in currently supported versions of Notes software.

This setting is considered obsolete and is not recommended in any current version of IBM Notes software.  Notes is designed to use the time and time zone settings provided by the client operating system (including the installed JRE), regardless of which operating system is in use.

A corresponding ini setting “UseNotesTimeZone” is not supported for Notes 6.0 and later.

Using either of these settings may cause errors in the Notes client.

Best Practice:  Remove these settings from user’s clients before troubleshooting time or time zone issues.  The Notes client relies on the Operating system Time settings, and the use of these obsolete settings may cause errors under certain circumstances. “

Migrating messages from Domino to Google using IMAP

  • 20 Feb, 2022

It's only for messages. No calendar migration Imapsync command is a tool allowing incremental and recursive imap transfers from one mailbox to another. If you don't understand the previous sentence, it's normal, it's pedantic computer-oriented jargon. All folders are transferred, recursively, meaning the whole folder hierarchy is taken, all messages in them, and all message flags (\Seen\Answered \Flagged etc.) are synced too. Imapsync reduces the amount of data transferred by not transferring a given message if it already resides on the destination side. Messages that are on the destination side but not on the source side stay as they are. Get the tool here  https://github.com/imapsyn

Notes / Domino is forever

  • 04 Feb, 2021

Yesterday it seemed like it would be an ordinary working day but a client called me informing about the expiration of a certifier. It would be normal to resolve the problem with the re-certification procedures but it was a special certificate. This client has been using Notes/Domino since version 4.0.  When I saw the certificate creation date 05/09/1996 I was impressed. This customer uses the environment for mail and applications for 25 years!. How times flies I started working for this client in 1999 by installing the first R5 server (5.0.4) on an IBM Netfinity 5500 Server running Windows NT 4.0. The hardware is gone, the operating system and the administrators who created this certifer
