Command-line interface to update Portal v8 response files
- 25 Oct, 2012
To install WebSphere Portal v8 silently, you are required to provide an xml response file. This can be obtained by using the IBM Installation Manager GUI to record a response file. However if you do not have a GUI environment, this is not a valid option for you and you must manually edit a response file provided on the WebSphere Portal v8 Setup media. Manually editing this xml file can be tedious anrd confusing. more >>(http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/Command-lineinterfacetoupdatePortalv8responsefiles)

- 19 Oct, 2012
Notes 8.x introduces a new user interface built on the IBM Lotus Expediter client platform, which in turn is built with Eclipse technology. This new layer is deployed through a process called provisioning which installs a large number of plugins and XML configuration files. IBM calls this the Standard configuration. Notes 8.x can still run with the old familiar user interface, which is called Basic Configuration. There are separate install packages for Basic and Standard Configuration, but if you install Standard Configuration you can launch Basic Configuration later by adding "-basic" to the command line which launches Notes or by running nlnotes.exe directly. The Basic Configuration inst

- 18 Oct, 2012
What are IBM Lotus Quickr Limits?
Below are the known best practices for IBM Lotus Quickr server in numbers:
- Files limit size to upload?
Theoretically there is no limit but we recommend not uploading files greater than 1GB. Unlimited upload size is set by setting Maximum size of request content to 0 in the HTTP tab of the Server document.
- Room limit size?
This is dictated by the maximum database size in Domino, which is 64GB. However, we don't recommend DBS greater than 15 GB as this is when corruption or other errors begin to occur.
- Folder limit size?
Again, this must remain with the 64 GB limit of the database.
- How many level of sub-folder can we use?

Administering IBM WebSphere Portal 8.0: A comprehensive workshop
- 16 Oct, 2012
The goal of this white paper is to explain the various administration and configuration tools offered by IBM WebSphere Portal 8.0. Learn about which tool to use for which task and about the new capabilities of WebSphere Portal 8.0, and understand differences from previous versions of WebSphere Portal. We take you through exercises for each tool so you can learn hands-on how to use them. In this white paper(http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/zones/portal/proddoc/portal8adminworkshop/) - Introduction - What is WebSphere Portal? - Installing WebSphere Portal - Understanding the WebSphere Portal file system structure - Installing the latest Combined Cumulative Fix - Command line tools

I'm working on a project to migrate the portal version. The portal server use a remote WCM.
We need to migrate a Portal Server environment and WCM environment.
There is no path to migrate Portal Server V6.0 to Portal Server V7.0, only Express, Enable and Extend and this situation is not documented by IBM.
I opened a PMR and the lab told me to upgrade Portal Server V.6.0 using WCM 7.0 binaries.
If you didn´t know, in Portal V6, Portal and WCM was the same binaries and if you wish WCM after the setup process you run a command line to setup the wcm authoring interface, etc, etc.
Since Portal 6.1 the binaries of WCM and Portal is not the same, you need to download differen

There are two different ways you can setup the size restriction of message on Domino server 1) you can create a mail server rule on the Domino server, it's in the Domino configuration document -> Router/SMTP tab -> Restrictions and Controls tab -> Rules tab Create a mail server rule for Size (in bytes) is less than or is greater than any size you want, and you have options to journal this messages, move to database, don't accept message, don't deliver message, change routing state or stop processing. 2) you can also restrict the message size using a setting in the Domino configuration document -> Router/SMTP tab -> Restrictions and controls tab -> Restrictions tab -> "Maximum message size

Option 1: Increase the minimum attachment size for DAOS and remove the small .nlo files \ In order to have a better understanding of how to choose an attachment size, you should download and run the DAOS estimator(http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=463&uid=swg24021920). 1. Increase the "Minimum size of object before Domino will store in DAOS" setting to the newly desired value in the server document. Note: Do not use special characters such as commas or periods when entering the minimum size. 1. Restart the Domino server to enable the new minimum size. 1. Run a copy style compact (compact -c) on all databases that currently have DAOS enabled to allow the server to bring the sma
