- 28 Jan, 2025
When you delete a node using the CLI, the node object is deleted in Kubernetes, but the pods that exist on the node are not deleted. Any bare pods not backed by a replication controller become inaccessible to OpenShift Container Platform. Pods backed by replication controllers are rescheduled to other available nodes. You must delete local manifest pods. - To delete the node from the UPI installation, the node must be firstly drained and then marked unschedulable prior to deleting(https://access.redhat.com/bounce/?externalURL=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.openshift.com%2Fcontainer-platform%2Flatest%2Fnodes%2Fnodes%2Fnodes-nodes-working.html) it: $ oc adm cordon $ oc adm drain --force --delete-loca

- 31 Dec, 2024
rsync is generally faster than scp for copying files, especially when transferring a large amount of data or syncing directories. Here's why: 1. Incremental Transfers - rsync: Only transfers the parts of files that have changed, rather than the entire file. This makes subsequent transfers much faster. - scp: Always transfers the entire file, even if only a small part of it has changed. 2. Compression - rsync: Supports compression during the transfer (using the -z option), which reduces the amount of data sent over the network. - scp: Also supports compression (using the -C option), but it doesn't have the same efficiency in skipping unchanged data. 3. Resume Support - rsync: Can

- 28 Nov, 2024
In the context of a Kubernetes cluster, CPU throttling still refers to the process of limiting the amount of CPU time a container or pod can use, but it's slightly different than throttling within an individual CPU or device, as Kubernetes manages resources at the container level. Here’s a breakdown of how CPU throttling works in a Kubernetes environment: 1. CPU Resources in Kubernetes Kubernetes allows you to specify how much CPU a container can request and how much it is allowed to consume. This is done through resource requests and limits: - CPU Request: The minimum CPU resource that the container is guaranteed to have. - CPU Limit: The maximum CPU resource the container can use. Ku

Firewall changes for container image pulls
- 05 May, 2023
Since June 2022 the Red Hat OpenShift operator index images (redhat/redhat/operator-index) have been served from registry.redhat.io using Quay.io as the backend. OpenShift itself already needs access to the Quay.io registry and CDN hosts as explained in its installation instructions, and so this change required no action from customers at that time. We are extending this to all Red Hat container images. This allows customers to benefit from the high availability of the Quay.io registry while simplifying the way Red Hat delivers container images and paving the way for future enhancements.

If a user has been deleted from the OpenShift web console, they will no longer be able to login. The user's account and associated resources will also be deleted. If the user needs access again, they will have to be re-created in the console.
To recreate the user you can use the command :
oc create user
Use the oc create useridentitymapping command to map the identity to the user.
Use the command oc get identities to lis all identities you have configured, an then map the user.

It's only for messages. No calendar migration Imapsync command is a tool allowing incremental and recursive imap transfers from one mailbox to another. If you don't understand the previous sentence, it's normal, it's pedantic computer-oriented jargon. All folders are transferred, recursively, meaning the whole folder hierarchy is taken, all messages in them, and all message flags (\Seen\Answered \Flagged etc.) are synced too. Imapsync reduces the amount of data transferred by not transferring a given message if it already resides on the destination side. Messages that are on the destination side but not on the source side stay as they are. Get the tool here https://github.com/imapsyn

- 15 May, 2020
Just setup this on a customer today. Befor this setup you need to install a certificate on your server. SMTP sessions conducted over a standard TCP/IP channel are vulnerable to eavesdropping because the unencoded transmission can be easily intercepted. To protect SMTP communications, servers can use transport-layer security (TLS), more commonly known as SSL encryption, to provide privacy and authentication. Some servers support SSL for SMTP communications by sending and receiving SMTP traffic through the SSL port (port 465 by default) only. However, because this requires that both the sending and receiving servers support SMTP over SSL, this solution isn't always practical. To provide SSL

- 31 Jan, 2020
I have this problem today after i change my account on my macbook. The solution that worked for me was to delete the OneDrive Cached Credential key from the Keychain. The procedure was the following: 1. Launch Spotlight Search (shortcut: command + space), type keychain, and press return. This should launch the Keychain Access app. 1. Type OneDrive into the Keychain Access search box. This should show a short list of keys related to OneDrive. 1. Click on the key called " OneDrive Standalone Cached Credential" or some variant thereof. 1. Press the delete key (or use the menu item Edit > Delete) to delete the cached credential key. 1. Restart OneDrive. 1. Enter your user and password again.

- 30 Sep, 2019
Node-Red 1.0 released today. Some new features: Asynchronous message passing This release changes the message passing between nodes to be always asynchronous rather than it being sometimes asynchronous and sometimes synchronous depending on the implementation of individual nodes. Node Send API Nodes now have a new API available for how they handle messages in the runtime. This API allows them to tell the runtime when they have finished with a message. This will help the runtime to track nodes as they flow through the system - enabling future features such as automatic timeouts of nodes. To go along with this change, we’ve introduced a new Complete node. This node can be targeted at

At a high-level, a hybrid cloud is a mixture of private and a public cloud environments that work in tandem to run your workloads and apps.

You can watch a video of a real-world example to clearly understand what works well on a public cloud environment and what is best in a private environment.

I found it today when googling for some solution for my mac and it works! The web is moving to HTTPS, preventing network attackers from observing or injecting page contents. But HTTPS needs TLS certificates, and while deployment is increasingly a solved issue thanks to the ACME protocol and Let's Encrypt, development still mostly ends up happening over HTTP because no one can get an universally valid certificate for localhost(https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificates-for-localhost/). This is a problem because more and more browser features are being made available only to secure origins, and testing with HTTP hides any mixed content issues that can break a production HTTPS website.

A friend sent me the following tip : Place a secondary ip in your MAC that belongs to the same network of VM's. I don't find a easy way to put a secondary ip on my wifi connection. The only way i found was duplicating the wifi network and set up fixed ip in the same network of virtual machines . !(http://www.mysphere.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screen-Shot-2017-12-21-at-22.09.50.png) Now i can connect on any wifi network and my Mac access all vm's without changing the ip address

- 27 Oct, 2017
Watson™ Explorer Natural Language Querying (NLQ) improves the user search experience by allowing the user to query Watson Explorer using natural language queries such as questions. This is accomplished through the use of two components: Query Modifier, which modifies user queries before they are executed, and Ontolection Trainer, which provides machine learning tools that can generate ontolections for use in query expansion. The setup process is not hard you can follow the instructions here(https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8NLW11.0.2/com.ibm.watson.wex.fc.nlq.doc/cwexnlqinstallingqm.html). But how to use it?

A good DNS service is very important for a mail server. On Linux servers you need to put your DNS servers on a file called resolv.conf. In general you have two entries like this: nameserver1 192.168.10.10 nameserver2 10.10.1.1 If one server does not respond then linux will try the second, but there is a timeout for this: timeout:n Sets the amount of time the resolver will wait for a response from a remote name server before retrying the query via a different name server. This may not be the total time taken by any resolver API call and there is no guarantee that a single resolver

An issue was introduced in Domino 9.0.1 FP9 that could result in SMTP mail headers with random characters inserted into From, Sendto, and Copyto fields. This could then result in non-delivery of mail to/from Internet email addresses when using the Domino notes.ini parameter SMTPVerifyAuthenticatedSender =1. Symptoms of the issue include receiving messages containing garbled sender names. Opening the message and replying results in a number of embedded garbled characters in the header. You can observe this by viewing the page source or by simply examining the content when opening an email. Another method is to capture the SMTP outbound message and examine the header.

IBM Traveler 9.0.1.18 enabled by default a feature that allows Traveler to "Run as a User" instead of as a server. This feature resolves several long standing issues with accessing the user's data as the server ID. The last point above may cause sync issues for mobile users. If the access controls are inadvertently set to values that restrict individual users, but do not restrict the Traveler server, then users that could sync when running as the Traveler server ID might not be able to sync when running as their user ID. Note that the Traveler administrator can disable the Run as User feature by setting the notes.ini value NTS\USER\SESSION=false on all Traveler servers and restarting the s

Unless Oracle Data Guard limits functionality or impacts the behavior of the Oracle Database product in an intransparent manner or requires changes to the Portal database object definitions, we do not see a reason why WebSphere Portal would not work in that setup.

Add slots to a dialog node to gather multiple pieces of information from a user within that node. Slots collect information at the users' pace. Details they provide upfront are saved, and the bot asks only for the details they do not. You can think of slots as the chat bot version of a web form in which users must fill out required fields before they can submit the form. Similarly, slots prevent the flow of conversation from moving on to a new subject until the required values are provided.

- 18 Nov, 2016
The general procedure to create a new theme using webdav is: 1 - connect to http://:/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/themelist/ 2 - Copy the original theme from IBM to your disk 3 - Modify some files and them upload the files to the file store. My team and i used this general rule for several projects but recently this kind of procedure failed. When we copy the files back to the file store we get a permission error at the folder metadata I raise a PMR and the L3 support will change the documentation with the following: "Hint: With some WebDAV clients it can happen that you get an error "You need permission to perform this action". In this case, you have to explicitly create the root folder

Due to security vulnerabilities in the Apache Axis V1.x libraries, IBM is removing the Axis JAR file from IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5 effective with Cumulative Fix 12. There is no product code that uses this library, but it has been on the classpath since the initial 8.5.0.0 release. The specific JAR to be removed is "axis.jar." The only exposure here is the chance that custom code, in either a custom theme or a custom portlet, would be using classes from this library. If there is no custom code in your Portal installation that is using these classes, then you will have no problems. If there is custom code in your Portal installation that is using these classes, then you will see ClassNotFound

- 16 May, 2016
Flash's death has been slow and painful, and now Google is planning to deal it another blow. Google has detailed plans to start blocking most Flash content with Chrome, with the change targeted toward the end of this year. Under its current vision, nearly every website would have Flash content blocked by default. Visitors would still be able to enable Flash content on a site-by-site basis, but they would have to specifically choose to do so. Chrome would display a prompt offering to enable Flash; if chosen, Chrome would remember to run Flash on that site for all future visits.

You can use the NOTES.INI setting LOGSTATUSBAR=1 to enable logging of status bar messages to the local log file, LOG.NSF. To view the logged messages, open the file, LOG.NSF, and then click the Miscellaneous Events view. Status bar messages are appended with "Status Msg." To write the status bar messages to an external file, use the NOTES.INI setting Debug\Outfile= with the NOTES.INI setting LOGSTATUSBAR=1. For example: LOGSTATUSBAR=1 DebugOutfile=c:\temp\StatusBarLogging.txt

- 09 Apr, 2016
This can be done using an agent that is run by an ID that has access and delete rights to all the mail files on the server. The email will have the same Universal ID(UNID) in all of the mail files. This will allow you to get a handle on that particular email. The example code below gets a handle to the People view of the server's name and address book. From the person document, it obtains the mail file for the user and then opens the mail file, locates the email and removes it. The first step is to locate the UNID. This can be found by bringing up the document properties for the email you want to remove and looking at the beanie tab: !(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg219808

"There are a number of aspects to consider when choosing between the traditional WebSphere Application Server (WAS full profile, or WAS Classic) and WAS Liberty for deployment. If you have a hard requirement which is only available on one or the other (such as a particular API) then the choice is easy, but as the Liberty function has grown, it has become more common to need to weigh the pros and cons of each more closely; to consider topology choices, operational capabilities and security options. Over one hundred and fifty IBM products have shipped with Liberty as their internal application server and an ever-growing number of IBM SaaS offerings, such as BPM Workflow and Watson Analytics

You can use HTML within a iNotes signature by encapsulating all HTML tags within brackets \ \ to mark the text as pass-thru HTML.
If you use an image, the file must exist on a Web server that the iNotes client can access. For example, you can store the image within the domino/html directory of the Domino server and reference the image using the Web address such as http:// /

- 01 Dec, 2015
A smart host is a directory server to which SMTP-routed messages are sent when the message recipient cannot be found in the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Directory or other secondary directories configured on the server. Typically, a smart host is used in organizations that employ multiple mail systems within a single Internet domain. Users on these systems may not be in the Domino Directory. For example, if some users are on a UNIX® sendmail system but their inbound messages are routed through the Domino mail system, you can set up a smart host to ensure proper address resolution. Last week i need to setup a kind of odd routing. I need to relay messages sent to Domino users to an Smart Host. This

You can have Domino add a phrase to the sender's address on outbound SMTP mail and specify the name component to use as the address phrase. By default, addresses do not include phrases. If you choose not to support phrase-style addresses, you can specify that Domino remove any user-added phrases in the recipient fields of outbound messages. You configure this address format using the "RFC822 phrase handling" field in the Configuration Settings document, under the MIME - Advanced - Advanced Outbound Message Options tab. The Router adds phrases to Internet addresses both when taking the address from a Person document in the Domino Directory and when constructing the address from rules in the

Due to security vulnerabilities (CVE-2012-6153 and CVE-2014-3577) WebSphere Portal is removing the Apache commons-httpclient JAR files from all releases and replacing them with the newer version (Apache HttpClient 4.3.6).
Note that the JAR files may not be removed by a specific interim fix but the interim fix will remove all WebSphere Portal uses of those JAR files and the JAR files will be removed by a subsequent Cumulative Fix associated with that release.
These JAR files have been on the Portal classpath in many releases. They were never intended to be used by our customers but it is possible that they could be used by a customer's custom portlets or by a third party's custom portl
How setup IBM Connections 5 External Collaboration
- 15 Jan, 2015
External collaboration is a new feature of Connections 5.
External user are any users "marked" or "selected" as a external.
External users can:
- Only see Files and Communites that he/she has given access to
- See people in the community and business card (limited to some information)
- Search, but no public data will be returned.
The process is not complicated. The key is how to mark or select external users on your ldap. The options are;
1 - Map standard LDAP attribute for external users
2 - Map standard LDAP attribute using JavaScript
3 - Use an LDAP branch to store external users.
I use the option 3 because on our LDAP external users are in another branch

Update procedure for IBM Portal Server and WCM v8.0.0.1 will be changing.

Previously, unless you used special parameters, running IBM Installation Manager to apply a cumulative fix would both update the Portal product files and simultaneously configure the Portal profile. With the new procedure, Installation Manager will now only update the product files, and you will be required to run a pair of separate commands to configure the profile. Before now, the additional commands were required in certain situations; now they will be required in all upgrade cases.

My answer was No, there is no impact but the customer need an official response. I opened a PMR and receive the response today :
=======================================
As noted, the WCM best practices are to separate the content from the design.
For example, see the following link: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/How\to\separate\WCM\Content\from\Design(http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/HowtoseparateWCMContentfromDesign) Multiple libraries does not incur additional performance penalties since references are by UUID, which is independent of library.

1 - Log on passport advantage (using my laptop) and looked for the desired software
2 - I changed the download option for https
3 - When I started downloading the file I copied the URL
4 - The URL is complex like this one: (i changed some characteres)

Best Practices to manage and maintain Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS)
- 03 Sep, 2014
Below are some basic points that one should remember as best practices to manage and maintain DAOS feature in IBM Notes Domino environment.
1. Domino server must be 8.5.x and onwards. All database ODS must be 48 and onwards.
1. Transaction Logging must be enabled on server and it is recommended to keep transaction log directory outside of domino/data folder, in a separate drive.
1. DAOS Directory path should be kept out of Domino/Data directory, in a separate drive.
1. Make sure DAOS Catalog Status always remain in SYNCHRONIZED status. You can monitor DAOS Catalog status using command 'Tell DAOSmgr Status'. As far as DAOS Catalog remains in SYNCHRONIZED status, DAOS functionality will wo
Denied access Notes users are still able to access mails through IBM Notes Traveler
- 27 Aug, 2014
When people leaves the company i always put the user on a deny access group, remove the account and delete the mail database.
But if you do not delete the account...
Once the user added in Deny access group to Deny Traveler access you need to enable "Enforce server access setting" to Yes in the server document under Ports -> Internet Ports -> Web tab.
Follow the below steps to enable the 'Enforce server access setting' to Yes in Server document:
1) Open the Domino Administrator client.
2) Chose the Traveler Server document .
3) Go to Ports -> Internet Ports -> Web tab and set the value for the below field to "YES".

A few days ago i was in charge do remove some users from IBM Connections. The case was to delete the inactivated users. The users was removed from the corporate LDAP a few months ago and no one know the DN or CN of the users. The only information was the Display Name I need to know the user\dn and user\uid to create the file delete\or\inactivate\employees.in and then run delete\or\inactivate\employees.sh script. The only way i found was to export some data from PEOPLEDB. Reading the table EMPINST . Inactivated users does not have the PROF\MAIL data.

If you use IBM Notes and do not saw this error, don´t panic, soon or late you will see.
1. Create a new Location Document in the local names.nsf.
This forces Notes to not use the cached "last known good address" which is kept even with a reboot.
2. Use a simple formula agent to clear the fields in the Location Document, as follows:
FIELD $SavedAddresses := "";
FIELD $SavedPorts := "";
FIELD $SavedServers := "";

As the administrator, you can use a setting in the Mail settings policy document to list by name any web sites you want to trust to show images in client users' MIME mail messages. The setting creates exceptions to the Notes client preference To ensure privacy, do not show remote images without my permission (under File > Preferences > Mail > Internet setting) . The new policy setting enforces exceptions for any websites you enter. The client user's mail prevents display of images in messages from all but the trusted sites.

Every year we have problems with DST. Scheduling, messages. It´s common here in Brazil administrators setup the OS (windows or linux) to not observe DST but some companies observe DST. 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.

- 04 Oct, 2013
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.

Homepage Search: Profiles server fails while creating the initial index
- 10 Sep, 2013
When trying to create the initial index for Global Search from the Homepage server, the index update fails with an error.
To prevent further problems with indexing, perform a search in the Profiles database for any null entries in the table EMPINST.EMPLOYEE.

If any entries are returned they must be updated with an entry in the display name column for the Profiles feature to index successfully.

2. How does File server roaming differ from Domino server roaming?
3. How does an administrator configure ("upgrade") a user to roam using a file server?
4. How does an administrator "downgrade" a user from file server roaming?
Each question is answered below:
1. What is File Server roaming?
File server roaming is the ability to house a roaming user's files on a standard file server instead of a Domino server. This functionality has been requested by customers who have users who roam between multiple workstations but in a location without a "local" Domino server.

One of the most important part of the IBM Connections is the person profile.
The full name of the person, in general, is stored on a corporate LDAP. Last week i am in charge to populate the profiles database with photos, and a lot of data from LDAP.
The person attributes on the ldap , like SN, CN, Display name was in capital letters like FIRST NAME LAST NAME. We don´t want this kind of display names,
The solution: Custon function before importing the users.
Copy this function to the file profiles\functions.js

After an Apple OS upgrade, why does Traveler not sync?
- 25 Mar, 2013
After upgrading an Apple device, the Lotus Traveler account may no longer connect to the server with the error "Cannot Get Mail: the connection to the server failed". The user may also see a prompt immediately after the upgrade with the error "Password Incorrect: Enter the password for the Exchange account". On the Apple device, the Exchange account password (used by Traveler) is not always retained after the iOS upgrade. Currently there is no resolution to prevent the user from having to reenter their password (as detailed in the solution listed below). However, the following IBM Feature Request has been opened for further investigation: RSSN-8K2GWU In most of these cases, the problem

- 22 Mar, 2013
Some people may find the wording of this field's title to be confusing. In fact, Notes is functioning as designed. The purpose of 'Use the Operating System's Timezone Settings' field is as follows. - If set to "Yes", you can make time zone setting changes only through the OS. Notes will adhere to whatever time zone the OS is set to, and you will not have the option to make changes through Notes. - If set to "No", you can make time zone changes through either Notes or the OS; fields become available in the Location document so that you have the option to change the settings through Notes.

Is it possible to improve the battery life of a Windows Mobile device when using Traveler?
- 24 Jan, 2013
Here are some steps that will improve the battery life of your device while using Traveler.
Note: The actual path to the setting may be different on your device.
1. Reduce the level of backlight on your device: Start -> Settings -> System -> Backlight
1. Configure your device to go into Sleep mode sooner: Start -> Settings -> System -> Power -> Advanced
1. Remove Traveler popup on new emails to prevent the device's screen from turning on when you receive new emails: Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications -> Event: Lotus Traveler: New data -> Uncheck Display message (Changing sound and vibrate settings in this same location can also help)

Licensing client access to the latest versions of many server products—including Exchange and SharePoint Server 2013—will cost more under certain conditions starting Dec. 1, 2012, although some volume license agreements insulate customers from price changes for several years. Customers generally have the option to license client access to on-premises server products by purchasing per-user or per-device licenses. The two types currently cost the same, but per-user prices will increase 15%, while per-device license prices remain unchanged. Regardless, per-user licensing will generally remain more cost effective in organizations where employees use multiple devices in the course of business

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.

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.

- 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?

Updates made to the Firefox browser in Firefox 15 and later, may result in iNotes no longer working as expected. For example, mail will not send when pressing the Send button after composing a mail message.
The use of signed scripts in Firefox by iNotes can be disabled at the server with a notes.ini setting.
After this is applied, aAttachments will use the older DHTML user interface, but will work. Mail, calendar events, and to do's will send and save, but URLs will not be automatically converted into URL hotlinks. (However, many mail clients convert URLs into hotlinks when mail is received, so the absence of this conversion by iNotes may not be noticeable.)

You have a scheduled agent that runs at a set frequency (such as 30 minutes). This schedule agent runs correctly most of the time. If, however, the agent attempts to execute (per its schedule) while Compact is running on the same database, the agent stops running. The agent is also removed from the scheduled queue. (The scheduled agent queue is an internal queue that keeps track of which agents need to run.) The agent is not returned to the queue until Agent Manager refreshes the Cache. By default, the Cache is refreshed at 12 a.m. Starting with Domino 8.5.2 Fix Pack 3 and 8.5.3, you can use the following parameter to force agent retry despite the Compact: DEBUG\AMGR\ENABLE\RETRY\ON\COMPAC

- 27 Aug, 2012
From LotusKB. The LotusScript RunOnServer method allows an agent called from a Notes client to run on the Domino server rather than on the client. Running on the client is the default behavior when running an agent from the Notes client. Running on the client results in isolation of the agent. As each client has its own memory, the agent run by one user does not interact with the memory of any other user. If an agent were scheduled rather than invoked by the client, each agent run would have its own memory environment in the AMGR task running on Domino. To run concurrently scheduled agents requires running multiple AMgr tasks, each with its own memory. The RunOnServer method forces the age

If the Synchronize Contacts feature is in use in IBM Lotus Notes 8.x, then a user who uses a Location document to switch to another mail file can unintentionally replicate deletions to that other mail file if they have Editor with delete documents access. Conversely, any delete operations in that other mail file will also propagate when switching locations back to their own mail file.
To be impacted by this issue, the following must be true:

With a normal configuration, it is possible to change the wpsadmin or equivalent password through the user interface, just like any other user can manage their own password through the user interface. However, if the wpsadmin account is also used for more than just the administrator, then additional changes, outlined in other steps in this section, must be made to accommodate the change.

- 09 Mar, 2012
Found it today on TN 1487071 but IBM doen´t tell the size of the very large attachment. I think to avoid this problem on the mail servers is to setup the max message size.
Problem
If serveral very large attachments are sent to DAOS enabled databases the daosfication process can use so much server resources as to be a risk to server function. The only way to stop it is to restart the server.
Content
Since the Daos process is event driven stopping the event in process will be sufficent, it will not attempt to daosify the attachment again. However there is no task that can be brought down to stop DAOS, the server must be brought down. If the server is clustered this can be done one c

DAOS Backup and Restore
- 13 Feb, 2012
From the TN 1358548(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21358548). Before implementing DAOS take care of your backup strategy In a standard Notes® database (NSF), the attachments are stored inside the NSF file itself, and the database is self-contained. In order to back up a standard Notes database, only the NSF file itself needs to be backed up. After you introduce DAOS, the NSF files that participate in DAOS contain only references to the NLO files where the attachment content is stored. As a result, backing up the NSF alone is no longer enough. The NLO data needs to be backed up as well.

- 30 Nov, 2011
When AdminP processes a password change in Lotus Notes/Lotus Domino, the old password is cached by the server for two days. What if this cache period is too long or too short ? Can the cache period ever be modified?
Yes, the cache period can be modified by setting the following parameter in the server's notes.ini file:
HTTPPwdChangeCacheHours.
Use the following format:
HTTPPwdChangeCacheHours=x
(where x is the number of hours of caching time for the old password)
During the cache period, both old and new passwords are valid, assuming the change has replicated to the server being accessed.

Native failover support for scheduled agents in Domino

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

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.

- 16 Aug, 2011
From TN 1271709
Do not send mass mail from a production mail server.
Avoid sending mass email. If mass email must be sent, do not send those mass mail messages from a production mail server but an administration server or another dedicated Domino server which is not directly servicing end users. Distributing this workload will prevent end users from experiencing performance issues related to address expansion during phase one of the message delivery process.
This dedicated Domino server should be configured to hold messages for transfer outside of peak system usage.

Excessive network traffic when using Community Server 8.5.2
- 14 Aug, 2011
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(http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/).

Lotus Notes Traveler customers are NOT recommended to upgrade to Domino 8.5.2.3
- 01 Aug, 2011
Lotus Notes Traveler customers are NOT recommended to upgrade to Domino 8.5.2.3 and later releases until they have applied APAR LO62635 to the Traveler server. Domino server 8.5.2.3 (Fix Pack 3) changed one of the API calls that Lotus Traveler server uses. Running Domino 8.5.2.3 and Lotus Traveler 8.5.2.x without LO62635 can cause a server crash scenario. Once LO62635 is installed on the server, the Domino server can be at any 8.5.2.\ level. WORKAROUND: Until the Traveler APAR LO62635 fix is available, Administrators may uninstall Domino Server Fix Pack 3 and install Fix Pack 2 instead. The information above is from TN 1507380

- 07 Jul, 2011
From developerworks... For any database, the first step to accessing data is making a connection from the client to the server. You may need to establish connections from clients to your IBM® DB2® Universal Database™ server across a wide area network or from the Web. If you have many connections coming in, with the potential for overloading your network or server at peak times, you may be looking at implementing a load balancing solution to spread requests across multiple servers. The flexibility of routing these connections by using facilities outside of DB2 has many potential applications. This article discusses one method of routing TCP/IP DB2 connections using an open source TCP pr

the "No letterhead" setting does go into effect correctly if it's changed to 'set value when modified' and changed back to 'set value and prevent changes.
1- go to the Policy Settings document and edit it
2- change from " Set Value and prevent changes" to "Set value whenever modified" , save & Close
3- Control&Shift&F9 to refresh the views

Review process to save disk space on Domino
- 27 Jun, 2011
Starting a review of Domino environment today. Our goal is to reduce the size of databases and enable DAOS. I start converting all the databases (test server) to ODS 51. To covert i use the command load compact -c -v -n. The switch -c is copy style, -v enables the "Compress document data" database property and -n enables "Compress database design". The next step used was load compact -c -ZU to upgrade attachments to LZ1 compression from Huffman compression. Using this two steps we save 63% of disk space in one database. DAOS is not enabled yet.

From TN 1182264 This behavior can occur if you have not set the "Enforce server access setting" field to Yes. The default value is No, which does not apply the "Not Access Server" information to Web (HTTP) traffic. You must set this field to Yes to have the HTTP task honor the settings on the Security tab. The "Enforce server access setting" field is in the Server document on the Ports -> Internet Ports -> Web tab. After changing the value to Yes, restart the HTTP task to apply the changes. In one particular case, the changes did not take effect with restarting the HTTP task, so the customer restarted the server.

How To Speed Up WebSphere Portal Server 7 After the Initial Installation
When any version of WebSphere Portal is first installed, there is always a significant load time for each JSP page. The poor load time is attributed to the fact that each JSP page must be compiled the first time it is accessed. To avoid the delay, execute the precompile-jsp command.

"It is critical that the client does not remove the jar files from the
backup folder. This folder is very important if you decide to uninstall
a fix/fixpack or upgrade to a new fixpack. If you install a fix, say

original portal.jar file is stored in the backup folder and the new

Last Saturday was a busy day. I made an upgrade from Domino 7.0 to Domino 8.5.1. Everything works fine until yesterday.
The design team told us that the ?Searchview with arguments doesn't work anymore.
So we start to search for a solution and found this APAR(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=463&context=SSKTMJ&context=SSPQ69&context=SSKTWP&context=SSRNU3&context=SSRNUY&dcÛ550&uid=swg1LO47173&loc=enUS&cs=utf-8&lang=en).

I opened a PMR and the support team send the solution.
Put this line INOTES\WA\DISABLE\WEBSTYLE\SEARCH=1 on the notes.ini and the ?Searchview will work again

Portal Auditing Service
- 08 Nov, 2010
The auditing service allows you to log a set of events into a separate audit log file. All events are organized in groups. For example, the logging events User created and User deleted are grouped together and can therefore only be switched on or off together. The log file contains one audit log message per line. All log messages start with a timestamp, followed by the optional transaction ID, the message code and the event message. Each event message contains the following: - The user ID of the user who has performed the action which triggered the audit event - Additional information about the event itself. Events for actions that run in a transaction are written to the log file when the

After upgrading to Lotus Notes 8.5.1 Client and Template, users’ mail files appear as an Archive
- 26 Oct, 2010
After further investigation, it was determined that the existence of the "ArchiveDatabase" field, stored in the "Archive Database Profile" was the cause of the issue. By default, the "ArchiveDatabase" field does not exist in a mail file's "Archive Database Profile", but it does exist in an Archive database.
Once this field was removed, the mail file no longer appeared as an archive. The following LotusScript button code can be used to delete this field:

Set db = s.CurrentDatabase

How to Change Cache.ndk File Size Limit
- 10 Aug, 2010
There are two ways to change the Cache.ndk file size limit. One is through the Workspace and the other is through the use of a Notes.ini parameter.
!Image:How to Change Cache.ndk File Size Limit(http://platao.plansis.com.br/blogkenio.nsf/dx/cachendk.htm/content/M2?OpenElement)
If you right click on the Workspace and select Workspace Properties it will bring up the property box as seen above.
Select the beanie tab and you can change the Cache Size in MB.
This also correlates to a Notes.ini parameter:
UserSetCacheQuota=1
UserCacheQuotaSize=153600 (value of 150 MB as shown above)
This allows for a larger cache.ndk file size which can reduce issues seen if the default 30MB limit

Using the X.500 methodology would lead to choosing a suffix like o=ibm,c=us or ou=raleigh,o=ibm. This method will set the root of the directory tree to a specific organization in a specific country or to a specific organization and organizational unit. However, it is not necessary to do this, unless there are plans to participate in an X.500 directory service, since LDAP do

From TN1381280 After DAOS has been enabled on a Domino server, if the virus scanner has not been configured properly to avoid .NLO files, "File is in use" errors may occur. The virus scanner should be configured to prevent processing the. NLO files in the DAOS repository. This can be accomplished either by specifying that the scanner skip files with an .NLO suffix, or by specifying that the DAOS base directory (and all subdirectories) should be skipped by the scans. Instead of scanning the .NLO files directly, the attachments should be scanned via the Domino server by an application, such as an add-in program, that works through the Domino API.

How to Enable Windows 7 GodMode

Here’s a neat Windows 7 trick that’s been doing the rounds on the Internet. It enables “GodMode,� a term devised by the Microsoft development team, which provides a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.
To use it:
1. Create a new folder.
2. Rename the folder to
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
(note that you can change the “GodMode� text, but the following period and code number are essential).
3. The folder icon will change — double click it to show the GodMode window:

So i see a lot of databases with ODS 43, very old, and then i start a compact -c for all databases.

Secunia contacted IBM Lotus to report several potential cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in Lotus iNotes ultra-light mode.

To exploit these vulnerabilities the following would have to happen :
(1) A user's mail file must be using a design which includes the iNotes ultra-light mode design (first introduced in version 8.0.2)
(2) An attacker would have to create and send a malicious URL to the user
(3) The iNotes ultra-light mode enabled user would need to be enticed to click on the malicious URL

Regras não funcionam em replicas locais. A solução encontrada foi até simples: Faça um encaminhamento da mensagem no seu email particular para seu endereço no Domino e crie uma regra para mover as mensagens do email particular para a pasta desejada
Access to private mail using Notes is not very common but may be necessary. Setup is simple, just create a POP3 and SMTP and ready. But what if you want the incoming mail

From Notes Help
To set up DOLS on clustered servers
Before using DOLS on a clustered Domino 6 server, make sure that:
- The Domino server is either a Domino Utility Server or Domino Enterprise Server.
- All servers in the cluster run the same release of Domino with DOLS
- Clustered server management is running to handle both failover of replication and HTTP
- Internet Cluster Manager is running
- Subscription directories must have the same name on every clustered server. For example, if a subscription is under dataWebmail user7CD5957CB669AE2285256BDF00567AD8, this name cannot be different on a different server in the cluster

Diagnostic (debug) NOTES.INI settings for dbdirman can cause DAOS to delete attachments prematurely
- 02 Nov, 2009
From TN 1385425: Certain diagnostic NOTES.INI settings related to dbdirman can cause an undercount of DAOS references during resync. Undercounting can lead to premature deletion of attachments from the DAOS repository during prune operations. DAOS resync scans all .NSF files on the Domino server and counts the number of references to each .NLO file in the DAOS repository. If any of the following NOTES.INI parameters are enabled, dbdirman can provide an incomplete list of .NSF files to the resync process. If an .NSF file containing DAOS references is not scanned, the reference count for the associated .NLO files will be too low, or zero. A subsequent prune operation will delete these .N

Semana passada um cliente reportou um problema curioso: Os usuários não conseguiam enviar email para um determinado domÃnio.

Só que o domino mantinha a tentativa de mandar para o ip antigo.

Reduzindo o Log do Domino

O tamanho do log de um servidor pode crescer muito dependendo do processamento que a máquina tem. Logs de roteamento, sessões e outros eventos.
O log muito grande pode impactar a performance e também ficar difÃcil de fazer análise. O TN 1366598(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21366598) mostra como filtrar um tipo de evento mas podemos usar o mesmo processo para filtrar diversos eventos.

Domino & Linux + fragmentação de disco
- 28 Jul, 2009
Hoje novamente o desafio é descobrir porquê dois servidores Domino 8.5 estão corrompendo bancos de dados. Os servidores estão em cluster e aleatóriamente estão corrompendo bancos de dados. Abrimos um suporte na IBM para ajudar a investigar o caso. Algumas hipóteses foram levantadas pelo suporte e uma delas foi sobre fragmentação de disco.
Em servidores Windows isto sempre foi problema devido ao sistema de arquivos NSF e uma desfragmentação de vez em quando é sempre boa.

Este fix corrige algumas coisas importantes. Executei a atualização no meu Notes e funcionou perfeitamente, aliás, estou com a impressão de que o meu Notes está mais rápido. Segue o link para o download(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=463&context=SSKTMJ&context=SSPQ69&context=SSKTWP&context=SSRNU3&context=SSRNUY&dcÔ00&uid=swg24023874&loc=enUS&cs=UTF-8&lang=en)

Blog sobre XPagesRead MoreSPAM, Domino e DNS
- 08 Jul, 2009
Recentemente tenho enfrentado alguns problemas com recepção de correio de outras empresas. As causas são diversas desde correio com endereço errado, hosts encontrados em black lists e problemas de DNS.
O maior problema que tenho visto é a má configuração de DNS por parte dos "remetentes" ou seja DNS MAL CONFIGURADO.
No primeiro momento fico indignado em saber e sofrer com a pressão de uma grande empresa não conseguir enviar e-mail para nosso domÃnio. O problema é sempre MEU nunca do "remetente". Fica sempre a briga entre Meus usuários, eu e o grande cliente, traduzindo a briga entre O ROCHEO E O MAR, quem sai perdendo? O MARISCO no caso eu.
Depois de pensar sobre o assu
Tema, Layout, WebSphere Portal e o IE7
- 07 Jul, 2009
Fazer um tema para o WebSphere Portal é um desafio dependendo dos requisitos, normalmente do pessoal do marketing. São menus dinâmicos, um monte de CSS imagens etc. Outro problema é fazer o tema funcionar em vários browsers (nada de diferente para aplicativos comuns em ambiente web).
O difÃcil é ficar contornando bugs principalmente do nosso amigo IE7. Um bug conhecido é a forma como o IE7 interpreta o CSS quando queremos um layout centralizado, muito comum hoje. Desde o meu primeiro projeto com Portal 6 tive de implementar um layout assim só que os browsers onde testei o código eram IE6 e Firefox 2.0.
Novamente nosso time teve de fazer um tema com layout centralizado e tud
WebSphere Portal 6 & IE8
- 06 Jul, 2009
A IBM ainda não homologou o IE 8 para ser utilizado como "cliente" do WebSphere Portal. De acordo com o TN 1389292(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=457&context=SSBRLP&dcÖ00&uid=swg21389292&loc=enUS&cs=UTF-8&lang=en&rss=ct457websphere) o IE 8 somente será compatÃvel com versões 6.0.1.6+ e com a versão 6.1.0.2+ ou seja em breve estaremos aplicando fixes nos ambientes para mais uma mudança de browser, claro que ainda tem de ver o suporte para o FireFox 3.5.
A falta de padronização dos browsers causa muita dor de cabeça...
Unread Marks
- 30 Jun, 2009
Sincronizar marcas de documentos não lidos sempre foi um desafio. Em ambientes com cluster isto se torna ainda mais grave pois o que todos querem é que o correio eletrônico seja igual em todos os servidores. Alguns cuidados tem de ser tomados e entre eles configurar corretamente os bancos de dados para que a replicação de marcas de não lidos seja feita corretamente. O primeiro passo é configurar a replicação destas informações. Na guia avançado da base de dados.
Se o usuário utilizar réplicas locais deve-se marcar a opção All Servers.

Resposta automática para correio
- 25 Jun, 2009
O servidor Domino não possui a funcionalidade de resposta automática quando um usuário recebe correio. O motivo para implementar isto é uma simples mudança de telefone e endereço, ou seja , para cada correio que uma pessoa receber um aviso automático irá ser enviado para avisar que o endereço da empresa irá mudar e também o telefone. Pesquisei um pouco e achei "pronto" um TN que sendo "traduzido" resolve o problema. A desvantagem é que para cada correio que chegar vai sair outro, o tráfego vai aumentar bastante. Não encontrei o link do TN no site da IBM o resumo do TN segue abaixo You can use a LotusScript agent to test for Internet addresses and limit the replies to thos

- 22 Jun, 2009
Neste fim de semana fizemos um upagrade de um Domino 7.0.2 para a versão 8.5. O Linux instalado antes era o SUSE SLES 9 SP3.
O Domino 8.5 não suporta o SUSE 9 então solicitamos o upgrade para versão SUSE SLES 10 SP1, pois já existem 03 servidores em produção com este Linux.
O upgrade do Linux foi realizado, mas a versão instalada foi o SUSE SLES 10 SP2. Aparentemente tudo ok pois os requesitos de sistema(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27013072Linux32bit) não informam nada sobre SP1 ou SP2 para o SUSE. A instalação terminou com um "warning" informado que o SUSE 10 não é suportado. Foi um warning mas devia ser um "fail" pois o Domino assim que foi iniciado
Agendar Update do Full Text
- 19 Jun, 2009
A tarefa update pode causar problemas de performance quando o servidor tem muitos bancos de dados principalmente quando os bancos de dados são grandes. Uma alternativa para evitar problemas, é agendar a frequência de atualização do Ãndice. Isto depende de cada aplicação, do design das views. Uma opção interessante é o agendamento onde pode-se configurar de quanto em quanto tempo ou quando o Ãndice vai ser atualizado.
Para configurar vá nas propriedades do banco de dados e configure a atualização do full text index como na figura abaixo:

Portal Auditing Service
- 18 Jun, 2009
Um log que pode ser muito útil para rastrear as "tarefas" administrativas pode ser configurado no Portal. O seriço é o Auditing Service que gera um log de vários eventos tais como criação de portlets entre outras. Para ver mais detalhes veja neste link(http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc/wps/srvcfgref.html).
O serviço tem de ser habilitado alterando-se o arquivo AuditService.properties e reiniciar o portal
Proibindo o uso do Sametime
- 17 Jun, 2009
Não considero uma boa polÃtica ficar restringindo o uso do Sametime, é uma ferramenta de comunicação muito poderosa, mas... (sempre tem um mas) existem usuários que abusam ou o chefe não compreende a importância do uso do Sametime.
Fui questionado, por um cliente sobre qual a melhor maneira de restringir o uso do Sametime ou seja que alguns usuários não usem o produto. O TN1166845(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=203&uid=swg21166845) mostra algumas maneiras de atingir o objetivo.
A opção que fizemos foi usar um atributo do Diretório Domino existente (evita customização) e alterar o filtro de autenticação e busca do Sametime.

- 16 Jun, 2009
SPAM é uma verdadeira praga. Estou procurando soluções para combater esta praga nos nossos servidores e algumas opções já me foram apresentadas, umas pelo google e outra pelo Paulo que trabalha comigo. (Que me lembrou do produto da IBM).
1 - Lotus Protector for Mail Security - É um produto (appliance) que pode ser um Hardware ou VM.
2 - Montar um servidor com SPAMASSASIN(http://spamassassin.apache.org//) - É uma opção open source que é muito usada. Achei alguns links que mostram como montar um servidor destes.

Agora que o feriado já passou vou iniciar mais um perÃodo de certificações. Tenho como objetivo renovar as certificações Domino Administrator, Domino Designer e também WebSpehre Portal Administrator. Vou repetir a estratégia de sempre.
A primeira que irei renovar será a Domino Administrator para versão 8. O ambiente que terei de preparar vai ser em uma VM pois meu Note já está com tudo instalado na versão 8.5 e como o objetivo é só a prova mesmo não vale a pena remover tudo.

- 10 Jun, 2009
Hoje um problema no mÃnimo curioso. Eu sempre utilizei o Notes em inglês e sempre o empacotamento com Administrator e Designer, raramente instalo Notes em Português.
Um usuário hoje queria criar uma réplica em sua estação e ao clicar com o botão direito a ação de criar réplica não aparecia. Olhei na ACL e não encontrava o problema.
O Paulo, que trabalha comigo, já havia visto este problema em estações e passou a dica. Quando instalamos somente o Notes algumas opções são consideradas "Avançadas" para os usuários.
No Notes 8.x alguns menus são "Avançados" e somente aparecem se vc mandar que eles apareçam.

Novamente falando um pouquinho sobre performance. Hoje mais um probleminha em uma aplicação e a questão que tive de responder. Como saber se um agente está demorando para executar e porquê ?
Nem todo administrador é Designer mas todo administrador tem acesso ao design da aplicação.
O agente tem uma propriedade para que possamos fazer "profile" ou seja ver quanto tempo ele demora para executar e o tempo das chamadas
Para fazer o profile deve-se marcar a propriedade Profile this Agent como mostrado abaixo (Usando o Domino Designer)

Domino Mail Rules
- 02 Jun, 2009
Domino Mail Rules já existem faz muito tempo (R5). Foram criadas para combater SPAM e também para controloar o que é roteado em um servidor Domino.
Algumas vezes podem causar alguns problemas, como o que eu tive ontem. Regras começaram a ser executadas e eu não sabia como ou porquê elas estavam sendo executadas.
O primeiro passo é abrir o documento de configuração do servidor e procurar pelas regras, mas a TAB que contém as Rules desapareceu do documento.
Um bug já conhecido desde a versão R6. O TN 7012234(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27012234) é uma coleção de TN's sobre o assunto. Sobre o meu problema especÃfico o TN 1214711(http://www-01.ibm

Em alguns casos é desejado ou necessário que algumas pessoas possam administrar os grupos no diretório Domino. Aparentemente é suficiente colocar o usuário ou grupo de usuários com acesso de editor/autor na ACL do names.nsf e marcar a role GroupModifier. O problema é que se for dado este direito o usuário pode alterar qualquer grupo do Diretório, inclusive se colocar como LocalDomainAdmins ou Administrator ou outro grupo de segurança.

O tema sobre performance de aplicativos é recorrente mas ele sempre aparece com mais força quando um servidor está com baixa performance e causando problemas.
Sabemos que I/O em servidores Domino é uma questão sensÃvel. Hoje temos um I/O muito melhorado e com possibilidades de melhorá-lo sem precisar redesenhar aplicativos, mas pode acontecer que algumas propriedades do aplicativo ou código esteja causando problemas. As soluções dependem de cada caso mas dois artigos podem ajudar a enfrentar o problema:

Estamos com um problema de expansão de grupos no cliente Sametime do iNotes e um PMR já foi aberto. Acho que é um bug mas como a integração de produtos sempre tem umas "pegadinhas" vamos ver o resultado.
Obs: Grupos aninhados não são suportados no cliente iNotes
Instalando iNotes Activex com Group Policies

Em ambientes não muito controlados não existem problemas para os usuários instalarem o Activex do iNotes. Mas em ambientes corporativos, onde a segurança das estações é controlada e o acesso dos usuários é cada vez mais restrito, instalar controles Activex é um problema. Não existe ainda um instalador para o Activex do iNotes, ou seja não podemos distribuir como um software a ser instalado na máquina. Para contornar o problema o TN 1278484(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg21272484) explica como permitir que os usuários podem instalar o Activex sem terem direito Power Users (requerido para instalar o Activex).

Geração de URL’s no Portal
- 11 May, 2009
Um desafio que enfrentamos no desenvolvimento de Portais (considerando aqui Portal = WebSphere Portal) é a geração de URL's para passar parâmetros ou mesmo para criar links amigáveis, já que as páginas do portal não são geradas de forma amigável. Este problema advém, na minha opinião, de como as coisas são feitas no mundo das aplicações web tradicionais (tradicional = sem portal) onde é simples endereçar, através de URL, um servlet ou chamar um componente e passar os parâmetros requeridos e obter o resultado.
O que ocorre é que em um portal não são geradas URL's para Portlets e sim para P�GINAS (API IBM ou JSR168). Existem algumas recursos para contornar este probl

Domino e Ãndice de disponibilidade
- 29 Apr, 2009
Após configurar dois servidores Domino 8.5 (Linux SLSES 10) e replicar todos os bancos de dados a nova etapa é fazer tunning dos servidores.
Para que o Cluster funcione corretamente é necessário ajustar o parâmetro SERVER\TRANSINFO\RANGE=n no notes.ini que por default tem o valor de 6.
Este valor default vale para máquinas não tão boas, mas máquinas modernas com vários cores é necessário ajustar este parâmetro para que o seu Ãndice não fique sempre em zero (0 = servidor ocupado e 100 = servidor disponÃvel). Este ajuste é importante para definir também o ponto onde um servidor vai ser considerado ocupado para que ele redirecione requisições para o outro membro do Clu
Configurando ICM fora de um Cluster
- 28 Apr, 2009
A configuração do ICM (Internet Cluster Manager) é uma tarefa relativamente simples. Algumas configurações de ICM são bem simples, por exemplo as que tem somente um ICM e este ICM está dentro do Cluster do Domino.
Realizamos hoje uma configuração que é composta de dois servidores Domino atuando como ICM para um cluster de 04 servidores Domino de Correio.
Além das configurações normais uma variável nova: NLB da Microsoft como solução de balanceamento (não usamos o DNS Round Robin)
Estamos testando e até agora não tivemos problemas. Para ver como configurar 02 ICM's para um Cluster Domino veja o TN 1101534(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21101534)
Unread Marks e Cluster
- 24 Apr, 2009
Estou preparando 4 servidore para funcinarem em cluster Domino. Uma das preocupações é com a marca de não lidos pois por padrão do Domino cria caixas postais com a opção de não replicar estas marcas. Em um ambiente em cluster estas marcas, por opção do cliente, devem ser replicadas entre os servidores.
Como são muitos os bancos de dados e a tarefa desing não altera esta propriedade, mesmo que a atualizemos no template, fiz um agente para configurar a propriedade do banco de dados. A relação das propriedades que podem ser modificadas via LotusScript pode ser vista no TN 1244071(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=463&context=SSKTMJ&dcÛ560&dcÛ520&uid=swg21244071&loc=

O ambiente de desenvolvimento para Portlets utilizando RAD7 e WebSphere Portal 6 requer uma máquina muito boa Isto se deve ao fato de que uma instalação completa do Portal é feita na máquina do desenvolvedor. Uma alternativa é utilizar um servidor remoto, mas esta alternativa também não é a mais eficiente quando olhamos pelo lado da praticidade de deploy e também utilizar o debug fica complicado....
A maior reclamação dos desenvolvedores está relacionada ao tempo que leva para reinciar o Portal, o que é necessário em muitos casos, claro que bem menos do que em versões anteriores.

Para garantir que realmente o processo fosse feito de forma "limpa" apagamos a biblioteca do servidor de desenvolvimento. O processo de apagar a biblioteca foi um pouco diferente pois pela interface de administração do Portal sempre obtinhamos uma mensagem de erro informando que não era

Foi lançado ontem o terceiro Fix para o Domino 8.5. Este fix resolve problemas encontrados pela IBM no novo serviço ID Vault. O fix é mandatório
Para aplicar o fix veja este TN da IBM -> http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21381562(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21381562)
WebSphere Portal Release Builder
- 08 Apr, 2009
Novamente estou fazendo um export e import de um Portal. Desta vez é um pouco diferente pois estamos exportando um portal de produção e importando em um portal de desenvolvimento. Existem algumas possibilidades para executar a tarefa. Uma delas é executar a tarefa empty-portal no ambiente de desenvolvimento e fazer um import full do portal de produção. Esta foi a primeira tentativa, mas um erro de chaves duplicadas no banco de dados do portal impediu que a importação fosse realizada com sucesso, mesmo executando a task cleanup.
A solução foi utilizar o Release Builder e importando somente a diferença entre um portal e outro. Isto somente foi possÃvel porquê a primeira versão

Performance Quickr 8.1 Bugs
- 01 Apr, 2009
Fez parte da instalação que fiz no Datacenter migrar um Quickr 8.0 para a versão 8.1. Instalei tudo corretamente mas a performance do servidor ficou muito ruim.
Pesquisando sobre o problema encontrei a solução: Quickr 8.1 com Domino 8.0.1 tem um problema com cache, basta migrar a versão do Domino 8.0.2 que o problema realmente desapararece.

Movendo bancos de dados do Portal
- 29 Mar, 2009
Semana passada foi aberto um suporte na Plansis sobre lentidão do nosso portal de desenvolvimento. Iniciou-se novamente a velha batalha entre administradores (eu) e um grupo de desenvolvedores WCM. A discussão estava sendo travada no campo da performance do aplicativo (Portal e WCM) e das máquinas. Achamos por bem verificar as duas coisas : CÓDIGO e M�QUINAS.
Foram encontrados alguns LOOPS no WCM ;- ) mas encontrei também um probleminha na máquina do MS SQL SERVER :-( . Em algumas horas do dia a CPU do servidor SQL ficava em 100% por alguns bons minutos. A solução: Instalar outra máquina SQL e copiar os bancos de dados para a nova máquina, a princÃpio muito simples abaix

No momento os servidores estão instalados e o roteamento de correio funcionando.
Tenho agora que transferir muitos dados para estes servidores. Começando com o Quickr. Para criar as réplicas estou usando o Admin Process que realiza o trabalho todo.
O que preciso agora é de paciência
Instalação DATACENTER - ETAPA 1
- 18 Mar, 2009
Iniciei a migração definitiva para o DATACENTER. Contratamos as máquinas e a instalação começou.
Primeiro problema: Instalação do Domino 8.0.2 em uma máquina Windows. Não era para ser problema mas....
O pessoal do DATACENTER configurou o Windows 2003 com o DEP. O que me deixou espantado foi que na mesma máquina eu instalei um DB2 e não tive problemas. Desabiblitei o DEP e a instalação seguiu corretamente.
O segundo problema foi com o Linux mesmo. Estmos usando CENTOS 5.2 com Domino 8.0.2.
O problema surge quando se inicia o instalador do Domino, ele aborta sem mensagens de erro ao iniciar a JVM. O problema estava relacionado com o modo de montagem do diretóri

Domino 8.5 DAOS
- 04 Mar, 2009
Domino Attachment Object Service (DAOS) é uma nova funcionalidade do Domino.
Basicamente ela remove os anexos de uma aplicação Notes e os coloca no filesystem. Com isto ganhamos em I/O e o tamanho dos bancos de dados realmente caem muito. Sem o DAOS um anexo de 1 MB se enviado para 10 usuários se transforma em 10MB de armazenamento no servidor, com o DAOS somente 1MB e nos bancos de dados fica somente um "ponteiro" para o arquivo no DAOS.
Já consegui reduzir um banco de dados Notes de 1.3 GB para 228 MB usando o DAOS.
A IBM disponibilizou também uma ferramenta para estimar como o DAOS pode economizar espaço nos servidores Domino DAOS Estimator

Mais um cliente estará mudando de plataforma, ou seja, em um ambiente com servidores Domino/Windows será instalado o primeiro servidor Domino/Linux.
Pela nossa experiência Domino em Linux apresenta uma melhoria de performance considerável. Estaremos instalando o Domino 8.0.2 em um servidor com Red Hat Enterprise. A expectativa do cliente é muito grande pois durante o piloto os ganhos foram consideráveis. Um bom material sobre o Domino rodando em Linux é o Redbook Domino 6 for Linux(http://platao.plansis.com.br/blogkenio.nsf/dx/http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246835.html?Open "http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246835.html?Open").

Continuando com o projeto de migrar os servidores para um DATACENTER, concluà os testes com o WebSphere Portal 6.1.0.1.
Instalei a versão Express do produto por pura comodidade pois ela já instala o portal com Db2 o que já adianta um passo.
A instalação seguiu sem problemas. Abaixo algumas dicas.
- Usar o instalador via console é uma boa opção. Se quiser utilizar o instalador gráficamente deve-se instalar o Firefox , o JAVA plugin para o Firefox e além disto
instalar e configurar o VNC.
- Preparar o linux antes. Configurar DNS, e instalar as bibliotecas :

Estou trabalhando para um projeto da Plansis que é mover nossos servidores para um Datacenter.
Os motivos são muitos: Melhor infraestrutura, link bem melhor (sem limite de banda com 2.500GB de tráfego) e também com redução de custo.
O desafio é mover uma infra, práticamente toda em Windows 2000/2003 com os softwares Domino,WebSphere Portal 6, Sametime 7.5, Quickr 8 e DB2 UDB hoje instalados no Datacenter localizado em na Plansis para um Datacenter com as máquinas sendo na sua maioria Linux e apenas um servidor Windows no máximo.

- Infelizmente não existe upgrade das certificações de Portal, portanto certificar em WebSphere Portal 6.1
- Estou pensando em me certificar em WebSphere 6.1 ou 7 ajuda muito a a profundar no produto e também me tornar instrutor do produto

Broadcast and Quickr
- 04 Dec, 2008
O Lotus Quickr tem uma função que é a geração de News Letters para os membros de um determinado local. Ontem uma solicitação chegou para mim e para meu time para que ativássemos esta funcionalidade em alguns espaços. Os membros destes espaços estavam cadastrados em grupos e não individualmente. Até aqui eu não achava nada anormal.
Quando rodamos o comando para enviar as news letters, para nossa surpresa nenhuma mensagem foi enviada.
O problema: Quickr não envia news letter para grupos. Suporte aberto na IBM e resposta negativa, o produto não faz by design.
A solução de contorno foi proposta pelo Roberto, diretor da Plansis

Hoje fiz, provávelmente, a última certficação que eu havia planejado para o segundo semestre, o upgrade da certificação de Domino Designer.
Dediquei mais tempo em estudar Web Services mas a prova mostrou algumas pegadinhas.
A estratégia continuou a mesma:
1 - Estude o Whtat's new do Domino Designer. Tópicos como melhoras na interface, novas @functions e @commands, e classes de script e claro Web Services.
2 - Para quem é parceiro IBM tem um curso no VIC, que é muito bom e também um simulado.
3 - Estude bem os conceitos de Web Services.
4 - Estude as melhorias na interface do Designer e debug também apareceram algumas vezes.
5 - Use um simulado.

Ontem acessando o site da IBM vi uma chamada no mÃnimo, para mim, interessante. Talvez quem esteja lendo este artigo já tenha ouvido alguém falar "Estou pregando no deserto!", o que estou querendo falar com isto?.

No inÃcio do mês de Agosto iniciei um "projeto" de recertificação Notes & Domino. Minha meta é até o final de Setembro ter as certificações atualizadas.
Minha estratégia é recertificar para versão 7 e recertificar novamente mais tarde para 8/8.5. Ontem já consegui a primeira vitória fiz a prova Lotus Domino System Administration Update 190-702.
Como eu havia previsto gastei menos de 20 horas estudando para a prova. As dicas para quem quiser fazer esta prova e ter sucesso:
1 - Estude e pratique DDM (Domino Domain Monitoring). A prova é quase 50% sobre este assunto.
2 - Estude Policies principalmente a parte de Policy LockDown

Já faz algum tempo que estou com uma máquina Ubuntu em casa pronta para o teste do Notes 8 em Linux. Um cliente então solicitou que um teste fosse feito em uma máquina com o Ubuntu 8, foi o que eu precisava para testar a instalação. Os passos são os seguintes para uma instalação sem problemas:
Abra um terminal no Ubuntu e execute os seguintes comandos
$ sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 (no meu caso estava conectado na internet)
adicione a linha export AWT\TOOLKIT=MToolkit no arquivo /etc/profile
$ sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh

Hora de renovar certificações

Esta semana estaou iniciando a renovação de algumas certificações. Volto agora a dar um pouco mais de atenção para o "mundo" do Lotus Notes & Domino. Tenho como objetivo renovar as certificações para o produto até a versão 8. A medida que for levantando material vou publicar aqui.
A estratégia vai ser a que sempre usei:
1 - Instalar o Servidor e o Cliente nas últimas versões disponÃveis
2 - Uma boa olhada no help principalmente na parte: What is New
3 - Adquirir o simulado para a prova
Pretendo renovar cada certificação gastando no máximo 20 horas de estudo para cada prova, tenho de fazer 4 para renovar até Domino & Notes 8

2 - Siga a risca as instruções de instalação
3 - Somente instale o Fix orientado pelo Suporte IBM
4 - Em algumas instalações são necessárias atividades após a instalação do fix,

Alterando a Senha do Administrador LDAP
- 14 Aug, 2007
Para alterar a senha do administrador ldap basta seguir os passos abaixo. Quando fazemos a configuração de segurança LDAP
é necessário utilizar um usuário com direitos do root (no caso do LDAP IBM).
Dica: utilize um usuário criado com direitos de root e não o root, principalmente se o administrador do Portal não for a mesma
pessoa que administra o LDAP.
Retirei as instruções do Infocenter Alterando a Senha do Administrador LDAP na Configuração do Member Manager
1. Requerido se você configurou o WebSphere Portal em um ambiente em cluster: Os arquivos do Member Manager são armazenados na máquina do gerenciador de implementação. Antes de alterar o arqu
O Cavalo e o Porco
- 14 Aug, 2007
Um fazendeiro colecionava cavalos e só faltava uma determinada raça.
Um dia ele descobriu que o seu vizinho tinha este determinado cavalo.
Assim, ele atazanou seu vizinho até conseguir comprá-lo. Um mês depois o
cavalo adoeceu, e ele chamou o veterinário:
- Bem, seu cavalo está com uma virose, é preciso tomar este
medicamento durante 3 dias, no terceiro dia eu retornarei e caso ele não
esteja melhor, será necessário sacrificá-lo.
Neste momento, o porco escutava toda a conversa. No dia seguinte deram o
medicamento e foram embora.
O porco se aproximou do cavalo e disse:
- Força amigo! Levanta daÃ, senão você será sacrificado!!!
No segundo dia, deram o
Depois das férias....

Depois de um pequeno descanso, voltamos com os projetos e a vida "normal".
Olhando as notÃcias sobre a tecnologia IBM uma novidade que está muito próxima: Notes & Domino 8
Li no blog do Edbrill (www.edbrill.com) que a versão em Japonês sai já na primeira quinzena de Setembro.
Portanto podemos esperar a nova versão já agora em Agosto.
Muito bom pois o Notes 8 está nota 1000 com muitas novidades... boas.
Sobre o fix pack do portal que não conseguimos instalar... ainda não foi solucionado. Contornamos a situação mas
voltaremos a enfrentar o problema nos próximos dias..
WebSphere Portal Server Fix Pack 6.0.1.1
- 12 Jul, 2007
Em um outro dia escrevi sobre como fazer o download do FP6.0.1.1 do Portal 6.0. Passaram-se alguns dias e aqui descrevo a experiência.
O ambiente em questão é um ambiente de WPS 6.0 com LDAP IBM e banco de dados SQLServer. O portal instalado em Linux Suse 9.
No primeiro servidor realizamos a implantação do Fix com sucesso (demorou um pouquinho... ;-) ).
O segundo servidor que tem o WCM ativo tivemos problemas. Parece que esta diferença está fazendo "toda a diferença".
Se alguém precisar fazer o update para 6.0.1.1 algumas dicas:
- Faça backup full dos arquivos do Portal e WebShere, preste atenção especial nos arquivos de tema.
- Faça backup full dos banc

O Lotus Quickr foi lançado dia 29/06 e é uma das grandes novidades da Lotus. O produto é o sucessor do Quickplace.
Feito com tecnologia Web 2.0 e com versões em Domino e Java.
A versão em Português ainda não está disponÃvel. Já instalei um servidor Quickr em um domino 7.02, muito fácil...
Outra novidade sobre o Quickr é que teremos vários templates sendo lançados pela IBM .

A missão agora, depois de instalar completamente um ambiente do Portal 6 (Portal, Quickplace, Sametime, WWCM)
e configurar LDAP, BANCO DE DADOS, é hora de atualizar o ambiente para versão 6.0.1.0.
O primeiro passo é encontrar os links para download de todos os fixes necessários, o mais fácil é o do portal.
Para economizar o trabalho, abaixo segem os links:

WebSphere Portal e Banco de Dados
- 25 May, 2007
Quando instalamos o Portal, por padrão, ele utiliza o cloudscape como banco de dados. Na versão Express ele instala um DB2.
O cloudscape é um banco que não pode ser utilizado em configurações de produção ou em cluster. Portanto em todas as instalações é necessário
migrar para outro banco de dados suportado tal como DB2, ORACLE ou memo o MS SQLSERVER.
Cada um deles tem uma configuração particular para ser feita. A decisão de qual banco de dados utilizar não é fácil e pode passar até
mesmo por polÃtica da empresa ou seja a empresa já possui um determinado banco de dados e deseja utilizá-lo para o portal corporativo.

Topologia de Software
- 11 Apr, 2007
O WebSphere Portal é instalado e executado como um servidor de aplicativos na plataforma WebSphere Application Server. Para cada instalação do portal, é obrigatória uma instalação do IBM WebSphere Application Server e ambas as instalações do WebSphere Application Server devem residir na mesma máquina. Observe que a instalação de vários portais em um único perfil do WebSphere Application Server não é suportado. O HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) é utilizado como o protocolo de transporte para pedidos do portal. Por padrão, o WebSphere Portal utiliza o transporte HTTP interno no WebSphere Application Server para gerenciar os pedidos. Opcionalmente, você pode configurar um
Topologia de SoftwareRead MorePortal Virtual
- 22 Mar, 2007
Com WebSphere Portal Versão 6.0 é possÃvel criar e gerenciar vários portais virtuais.
Portais virtuais são portais lógicos que compartilham a mesma instalação de hardware e software. Estes são alguns dos benefÃcios dos portais virtuais:
- Você pode particionar o WebSphere Portal de acordo com suas necessidades comerciais criando e gerenciando portais virtuais adicionais.
- Os portais virtuais podem ser criados e gerenciados de forma eficiente e sem precisar repetir instalações complexas de hardware e software. A administração do portal é simplificada reduzindo-se o número de instalações paralelas. Isso diminui o custo de hardware, instalação e administração.

Instalação II
- 13 Mar, 2007
Saber instalar o portal é muito importante para se obter a certificação. Lendo um artigo da IBM sobre a prova, cerca de 15% das questões são sobre este tópico.
Instalar o portal pela interface gráfica é F�CIL, mas tem outras opções como instalação via console (muito útil em ambientes UNIX) e também via response file.
Para não ficar somente falando de portal. O beta público do Notes 8(http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/products/product4.nsf/wdocs/notesdomino8 "http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/products/product4.nsf/wdocs/notesdomino8") está disponÃvel.

Recebi um correio hoje muito útil para ajudar na certificação.
Um novo recurso no VIC chamado SME Zone que contém, além de cursos online também simulados para os exames de portal.
Infelizmente para o WPS 6.0 ainda não tem o simulado, mas vale a pena fazer o da versão 5.1 que tem muitos recursos semelhantes ao Portal 6.
No VIC temos um curso para especÃfico para fazer a prova e um simulado. Eu fiz alguns testes e as perguntas são do nÃvel de prova de certificação.

Instalação
- 03 Mar, 2007
É fundamental verificar se o sistema operacional é suportado par a versão do portal. Sempre verifique isto.
Por exemplo o WebSphere Portal Express 6.0 suporta somente Windows, Linux e o i5/OS.
Para verficar os requesitos de hardware e software veja no infocenter(http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc/wpf/instreq.html "http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc/wpf/instreq.html").
Algumas dicas para realizar uma instalação feliz:
1 - Siga os pré-requisitos de hardware e software (no meu caso instalei no Windows XP SP2) e funcioona.
2 - Descompacte todos os arquivos no disco criando os diretórios co

Para evitar problemas durante a instalação é fundamental que o sistema operacional esteja preparado.
1 - Coloque um nome e um sufixo DNS em seu Windows
!Image:Preparando para instalar o portal(http://platao.plansis.com.br/blogkenio.nsf/dx/Preparando-para-instalar/content/M2?OpenElement)
2 - Tenha espaço disponÃvel em disco, pelo menos 5 GBytes
3 - Desligue o firewall do windows XP e se puder o anti-virus também
4 - Se tiver IP fixo melhor, se não providencie.
Instalação Websphere Portal 6.0
- 01 Mar, 2007
Para que se possa ter sucesso tanto na prova quanto em dominar o produto WebSphere portal é fundamental, e óbvio, saber instalar o produto.
A primeira etapa é conseguir as imagens ou CD's de instalação. Para quem é cliente basta usar o site do Passport Advantage(http://www-306.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/paocustomers.htm "http://www-306.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/paocustomers.htm") ou para quem tem o Value Package o o site de Parceiros(http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/lotus/general.nsf/wdocs/abetterway "http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/lotus/general.nsf/wdocs/abetterway").

Exam 825: IBM WebSphere Portal 6 Deployment and Administration
Este é o objetivo. A prova contém muitos tópicos para serem avaliados. Para estudar é importante verificar no site da IBM quais competências(http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/services/cweeducation.nsf/wdocs/exam825competencies "http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/services/cweeducation.nsf/wdocs/exam825competencies") são exigidas, já que o produto Websphere Portal é complexo e pode ser instalado/implantado de várias formas.
A primeira delas é Architecting a Portal Solution. Um bom começo é dar uma olhada no redbook(http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247011.html?Open "http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/ab
