As an administrator you want to enable LZ1 compression on databases by default.

 In previous versions of Domino you used the parameter COMPRESS_LZ1_CREATE=1. Since upgrading your servers this parameter no longer works

This  parameter was implemented for initial testing and not designed or ever intended for general release. Development deliberately removed the parameter in 8.5.2 .

 There is an enhancement request SPR DPBE8TVN2F requesting that this functionality be implemented again in a future release

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. ”

Because of changes to Websphere Application Server architecture, it is not possible to perform a straight migration from Sametime 8.5.x (based on Websphere 7.0.0) to Sametime 9 (based on Websphere 8.5.5). Instead, you must deploy Sametime 9 separately from your 8.5.x deployment and then reproduce any custom configuration items the Sametime 9 deployment. A key area of concern is the migration of user based data stored in DB2 such as your Sametime Meeting Rooms, Chat Rooms and Broadcast communities. This article describes you can migrate that data.
