Setup IBM Cognos Connections 5 on SLES11 and Oracle. A novel
- 19 Mar, 2015
This week i spend several hours to setup a machine with IBM Cognos and IBM Connections 5 CR2 on SLES 11 SP3 using Oracle as database. The Cognos wizard complete the CognosBI setup but Trasnformer not. I set the logs to debug level and the messages does not help. The problem was when the error appears the wizard roll back the installation of CognosBI removing everything from WebSphere. After several reviews of the SLES libraries and Oracle client setup i made the setup only for CognosBI (previously i setup CognosBI + Transformer) successfully. I try to open the cognos URL like http://server:port/cognos/servlet/dispatch/ext(http://server/) but the server doesn't send any response Reading

- 12 Feb, 2015
Due to security vulnerabilities (CVE-2012-6153 and CVE-2014-3577) WebSphere Portal is removing the Apache commons-httpclient JAR files from all releases and replacing them with the newer version (Apache HttpClient 4.3.6).
Note that the JAR files may not be removed by a specific interim fix but the interim fix will remove all WebSphere Portal uses of those JAR files and the JAR files will be removed by a subsequent Cumulative Fix associated with that release.
These JAR files have been on the Portal classpath in many releases. They were never intended to be used by our customers but it is possible that they could be used by a customer's custom portlets or by a third party's custom portl
How setup IBM Connections 5 External Collaboration
- 15 Jan, 2015
External collaboration is a new feature of Connections 5.
External user are any users "marked" or "selected" as a external.
External users can:
- Only see Files and Communites that he/she has given access to
- See people in the community and business card (limited to some information)
- Search, but no public data will be returned.
The process is not complicated. The key is how to mark or select external users on your ldap. The options are;
1 - Map standard LDAP attribute for external users
2 - Map standard LDAP attribute using JavaScript
3 - Use an LDAP branch to store external users.
I use the option 3 because on our LDAP external users are in another branch

- 19 Dec, 2014
Email productivity is a hot topic and several companies will launch new products including IBM with IBM Verse. But do not forget: Good spam protection is a important piece. Several months ago, in our company, i setup Lotus Protector for Mail Security. Before the setup, on mornings, we have a lot of spam and undesired messages do deal with. We loose lots of hours / month just cleaning the inbox. Some important messages was deleted during this clean process. Using traveler on mornings was a nightmare. The life after Protector is very different, there is no inbox cleaning anymore and blocked messages is managed by the users using IBM Notes integrated with Protector !Image:Increase the
