Domino server 8.5.2.3 (Fix Pack 3) changed one of the API calls that the Lotus Traveler server uses. Running Domino 8.5.2.3 and Lotus Traveler 8.5.2.3 (or lower Fix Pack level) can cause a server crash scenario.
Traveler 8.5.2.4 (includes APAR LO62635) is available from Traveler Recommended Maintenancepage.
The InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes configuration file (LotusNotes853.itw) was inadvertently excluded from the 8.5.3 Notes Standard client, All Client (Notes, Admin, Designer) webkits and ISO images. The absence of this file will affect Administrators using the InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes to generate a transform file for customized installations on Windows.
The missing file can be downloaded directly from Fix Central (Fix ID = Notes_853_ITWFile).

Compressing and decompressing files on linux
| gzip {filename} | Gzip compress the size of the given files using Lempel-Ziv coding (LZ77). Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the extension .gz. | gzip mydata.doc gzip *.jpg |
| bzip2 {filename} | bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by bzip command (LZ77/LZ78-based compressors). Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the extension .bz2. | bzip2 mydata.doc bzip2 *.jpg |
| zip {.zip-filename} {filename-to-compress} | zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix/Linux. Each file is stored in single .zip {.zip-filename} file with the extension .zip. | zip mydata.zip mydata.doc zip data.zip *.doc |
| tar -zcvf {.tgz-file} {files} tar -jcvf {.tbz2-file} {files} | The GNU tar is archiving utility but it can be use to compressing large file(s). GNU tar supports both archive compressing through gzip and bzip2. If you have more than 2 files then it is recommended to use tar instead of gzip or bzip2. -z: use gzip compress -j: use bzip2 compress | tar -zcvf data.tgz *.doc tar -zcvf pics.tar.gz *.jpg *.png tar -jcvf data.tbz2 *.doc |
| Decompressing | ||
| gzip -d {.gz file} gunzip {.gz file} | Decompressed a file that is created using gzip command. File is restored to their original form using this command. | gzip -d mydata.doc.gz gunzip mydata.doc.gz |
| bzip2 -d {.bz2-file} bunzip2 {.bz2-file} | Decompressed a file that is created using bzip2 command. File is restored to their original form using this command. | bzip2 -d mydata.doc.bz2 gunzip mydata.doc.bz2 |
| unzip {.zip file} | Extract compressed files in a ZIP archive. | unzip file.zip unzip data.zip resume.doc |
| tar -zxvf {.tgz-file} tar -jxvf {.tbz2-file} | Untar or decompressed a file(s) that is created using tar compressing through gzip and bzip2 filter | tar -zxvf data.tgz tar -zxvf pics.tar.gz *.jpg tar -jxvf data.tbz2 |

Workaround for restricting the Users to Forward Mail Using SendCopy To from the Mail Rule. Its from TN1516384
To avoid certain user from creating a rule to automatically forward messages to their external email address is by removing the ‘send copy to|B’ field from the action field in the mail template.
This can be done by editing the mail template in the designer client.
1. Make a copy of the mail template (mail85.ntf) and change the name as mail85_test.ntf
2. Open the mail template(mail85_test.ntf) in designer Client
3. Form folder >> Open the ‘RulesDlg’ form
4. Double click on action field
5. Click on second tab ‘Control’
6. Under the choices, delete the option ‘send copy to|B’
7. After deleting the option, an empty space still shows. Press delete button again to remove blank space.
8. Press Esc on Keyboard and click on Save button to save the changes.
Open the user mail file in notes client and replace the design with Mail Template (mail85_test.ntf). Once the design replace is completed, user will not be able to see “send copy to” action field.
Therefore , we can prevent users from forwarding mails using a send copy to by making changes in mail template.
When you work with WebSphere Portal you must understand the basics of an LDAP Server, go and download this Redbook
You need a tool called Browser.
For several years i used Softerra Ldap Browser and JXPlorer but now i use Apache Directory Studio it’s Eclipse Based and good tool.

You might detect excessive network traffic when using Sametime Community Server 8.5.2. Other symptoms are deferent delays during log-in and chats. This traffic is due to a high number of redundant presence notifications, reported to IBM as APAR# LO62831 (SPR# PPLV8KJ9J3). A fix is available on IBM Fix Central. This interim fix is strongly recommended for all 8.5.2 Community Servers to avoid this negative effect on the server performance. The fix name is 8.5.2.0-Lotus-ST-IF-NTOR-8KJA7G. |
This week we move some large Domino Applications from one server to another.
We got problems about Date Format on the Web Browser.
Pay attention in this configuration :
You can choose from Browser Client and Server locale.
From the TN 1144507
| If you want the server’s operating system settings to apply, you must specify “Server locale” for the “Default regional locale:” value in the Web User Preferences section of the Domino Web Engine tab. Otherwise, the default is to use the Web browser’s preference settings.
For more information on the Web preferences features that set time zone and regional preferences for Web users, refer to the article “Making Web browsers look smarter with Domino 6 ” by searching on the IBM Lotus developerWorks site (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus) |
This link to to a technote about required WAS fixpacks when you have WebSphere Portal. The minimun is 7.0.0.13 but you can install a later fix for WAS.
The document instructs:
But you have an observation on the same doc:
If you install a later WAS Fixpack you get an untested version, IBM doesn’t test WeBsphere Portal in later WAS Fixpacks but is supported.
I think there is only one correct version -> 7.0.0.13 . What you think?
| In Websphere Global Security
for the Domino Federated Repository – 1.)Setting – Distinguished name of a base entry that uniquely identifies this set of entries in the realm – to match the Domino org – generally, o=org. 2.)Setting – “Distinguished name of a base entry in this repository ” to blank (empty) 3.) Edit the dmgr’s wimconfig.xml file under the profile_root/config/cells/cell_name/wim/config directory as follows (this example changes the mapping to “externalName”); From: { config:uniqueUserIdMapping propertyForInput=”uniqueName” propertyForOutput=”uniqueName”/} And then synchronize and restart the nodes and deployment manager. Please note – if you make subsequent changes to the Global Security Federated Repository area using the ISC – Step 3 may need to be redone as changes may be lost. What this does – Step 1.) Insures that the username in the LTPA token created from Domino map to an existing repository in WAS – If there is no match, you get the “user not in defined realm” error in the logs. Step 2.) Insures that Domino Flat groups can be found for policies Step 3.) Insures that the username in the LTPA token that WAS generates is resolvable by the Sametime Community Server. In general, Domino does not validate the usernames contained within the LTPA token, it grants the user “default” level access to the database based on the validity of the token. |
