Native failover support for scheduled agents in Domino
- 24 Nov, 2011
There is no native failover support for scheduled agents in Domino. I know this issue i think since i start to work as a Domino Administrator 12 years ago. From TN 109833034 This issue has been reported to Lotus Quality Engineering in the form of an enhancement request; however, there are currently no plans to address it. Basically, scheduled agents run only on the server on which they are scheduled to run. If Server A is clustered with Server B and Server A goes down, any scheduled agents on Server A are not going to run on Server B, even though they are clustered. One way around this is to code the agents so that they poll the other server for availability. If the server is available
Native failover support for scheduled agents in DominoRead MoreDeleted documents are reappearing after replication
- 10 Nov, 2011
This kind of problem is old but you can use new tools to solve the problem.
Yesterday, in one of our applications a lot of old documents reappear like ghosts. According the TN 1098733 the problem is caused by:
1. The purge interval is more frequent than the replication schedule.
If a document is deleted and the deletion stub is purged before replication, the other replica copy does not have the information that the document has been deleted and replicates the document just like a new document.
2. A document was modified on one database replica after it was deleted on another replica copy.
If a document gets modified on one replica copy of the database after it was deleted f
Red Hat 6 Linux OS: Domino will not install
- 09 Nov, 2011
Domino installer does not start and goes to command prompt immediately.
Domino requires the following packages to be installed. They can be located on the RHEL6 distribution disks or installed via RPM.
glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.i686
libgcc-4.4.4-13.el6.i686
libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.i686
The packages listed above are sufficient to install Domino in silent and console modes.
To run GUI Domino installer, you will need additional xWindows packages:

libXmu-1.0.5-1.el6.i686
libXp-1.0.0-15.1.el6.i686
To run GUI setup you will need two more packages:
libXft-2.1.13-4.1.el6.i686.rpm
libXi-1.3-3.el6.i686.rpm

How to replace a corrupt database replica in a clustered Lotus Domino environment
- 28 Oct, 2011
From TN 1228354. This is the last option
1. Ensure that the corrupt replica is not in use by any user or server.
On the Domino server hosting the corrupted database, enter the following command: "dbcache flush" (command may require entering two or three time to release the database).
1. Using operating system commands, delete the corrupt replica file.
1. Using the Lotus Notes client, open the "good" replica located on the other clustered server.
1. Create a new replica on the server where the "bad" replica was deleted.
Select File -> Replication -> New Replica.
1. Complete the replication.
1. Stop the Cluster Directory task on the server where the new replica was created by running t
Caveats with "After new mail has arrived" triggered agents on Domino servers
- 24 Oct, 2011
Today i an agent stop to working . The cause was the wrong signature but in this case was not access rights The TN 1099178 explain the problem: In order for "After new mail has arrived" triggered agents to run on Notes/Domino Servers, the following must be true: 1. The signer of the agent (the last person to save or enable the agent) must have their mail file located on the same server as where the agent will run. The server determines this by taking the name of the last person to save the agent, performing a person lookup into the Domino Directory and retrieving the Mail Server from that user's Person document. If the Mail Server in the Person document is different than the cu

- 19 Oct, 2011
I search for information about upgrading ODS to a new version to support a Domino migration and justify the upgrade of the ODS. The summary is bellow. On-Disk Structure (ODS) Every major release of Notes/Domino (e.g., versions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6/7 ,8 and 8.5 ) has included significant architectural changes to the database structure, also known as the On-Disk Structure (ODS). These architectural changes enables the Notes and Domino development team to improve performance and scalability in each release. Upgrading the databases provides a lot of benefits, with very low risk, so this has always been an important early step in any Notes and Domino upgrade plan. The ODS version for each major rel

- 18 Oct, 2011
The impersonation feature lets you access another user's system as though you are that user. This is a new feature of WebSphere Portal 7.
The impersonation feature lets you view new pages, portlets, and other portal components. Users such as support specialists can use the impersonation feature to find issues and errors.
But pay attention on this two things:
Client side aggregation does not support user impersonation. For this reason, ensure you do not activate client side aggregation on any portal pages where the impersonation portlet is deployed. User impersonation and people awareness: When a user who is enabled for impersonation impersonates other users, the people awareness feature
