What is the recommended maximum number of active HTTP threads for a Lotus® Domino® server? You set this value in the “Number active threads” field on the Internet Protocols – HTTP tab of the Server document.

This TN can answer your question

IBM Sametime 9 was launched a few weeks ago.  When i saw this video i  do the upgrade of my embedded Sametime client on Notes 9

The process was very easy, just download the package, shutdown the Notes Client and run the installer.

Just finish the integration between our Sametime 8.5.2 IFR1 and IBM Connections.

This guide is a excellent material to get started. My environment is not the same, but with few modifications, i got Sametime and Connections working together.

On the page 208 the author show hot to display connections photos ins Sametime web client instant messages.

If you have a few users it is easy to fill the PhotoURL field but if you have a lot of users you need the power of Domino Agents and @Functions.

This single line agent do the job (I schedule this agent to run once a day)

FIELD PhotoURL :=”https:///profiles/photo.do?email=“+InternetAddress;

I have several servers with Centos running Domino, Sametime etc. I need to setup Sametime Proxy just to use with IBM Connections and Mobile Devices.

We are a small deployment but need more disk space to setup the Proxy on the same machine of the community server

This command above show the hard drives installed

# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda   /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2

After instal a new one i get this

# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda   /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb

dev/sdb is the new hard disk

Create a new partition

# su –
# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xd1082b01.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won’t be recoverable.

Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It’s strongly recommended to
        switch off the mode (command ‘c’) and change display units to
        sectors (command ‘u’).

Command (m for help):

Switch off DOS compatible mode and change the units to sectors by entering the c and u commands:

Command (m for help): c
DOS Compatibility flag is not set
Command (m for help): u
Changing display/entry units to sectors

In order to view the current partitions on the disk enter the p command:

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sdb: 34.4 GB, 34359738368 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4177 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xd1082b01

  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

Command (m for help): n
Command action
  e   extended
  p   primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4):

Partition number (1-4): 1
First sector (2048-67108863, default 2048):
Using default value 2048
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (2048-67108863, default 67108863):
Using default value 67108863

Now that we have specified the partition we need to write it to the disk using the w command:

If we now look at the devices again we will see that the new partition is visible as /dev/sdb1:

# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1

Create the file system

# /sbin/mkfs.ext3 -L /proxy /dev/sdb1

Mounting the filesystem

mkdir /stproxy

# mount /dev/sdb1 /stproxy

Configuring Centos 6 to Automatically Mount a Filesystem

Edit /etc/fstab

add the line

LABEL=/proxy           /stproxy               ext3    defaults        1 2

A good document on how setup SSO between connections and other IBM products.

Here in Brazil we are known by first name. The Domino Directory only lists people using Last Name, First Name.

I know is not a good idea to change Domino Directory but users are very confused to work with Last Name , First Name.

So i change some views (column name) on the Domino Directory  and change the person name order  to First Name Last Name

For reference you can read the article Personal names around the world

People

DisplayPersonName := @Trim(@Implode(@Trim(@Subset(FirstName; 1) : MiddleInitial:@Subset(LastName; 1)); ”   “));
DisplayName := @If(DisplayPersonName = “”; @Subset(FullName; 1); @Trim(DisplayPersonName:@Name([Abbreviate];AltFullName)));
@Name([Abbreviate]; DisplayName)

The past week has been very productive and exciting. I worked with two engineers from RedPill which are very famous in the community of ICS and IBM also Champions.
This week I was totally immersed in a process of modernization of Notes/Domino applications that really impressed everybody, as much as for the customer, which has one of the highest Notes/Domino installations in the world.
The numbers are impressive, both in number of users, servers and applications. In a week we have created  200+ Notes  applications that are now available for mobile devices.

Take a look on what RedPill can do for modernizing Notes/Domino applications

Thank you Nathan  Freeman and Peter Presnell for an amazing week working together.
