Notes client pegs one logical processor at 15%
By Richard Pajerski | 6/21/21 11:01 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
Having recently installed a Notes/Designer/Admin 12 client on Windows 8.1 Pro on an aging Intel i7 Quad-Core (with eight logical processors), I was surprised to see that after startup, Notes was consistently grabbing one logical processor and pegging it at around 15%. Windows Task Manager showed that nlnotes.exe was the process and it wouldn't let go of that processor until Notes was closed

Domino CertMgr OpenNTF webinar and brand new HCL GitHub repository
By Daniel Nashed | 6/18/21 1:32 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
OpenNTF invited me to an on-line webinar to speak about the new Domino V12 Certificate Manager and all components involved.
This was the first public presentation with all the technical details and background.
If you are interesting in the new Domino V12 CertMgr functionality you should at least look into the slides. Or watch the replay on YouTube linked below.
In the webinar I had the pleasure to announce a new open source GitHub repository which is mainly intended to provide, share and collaborate in the area of CertMgr DNS provider configurations.
But you will also find other related CertMgr related information.
Domino running RSA and ECDSA keys at the same time
By Daniel Nashed | 6/16/21 1:23 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
Domino V12 introduced ECDSA support. But you will still also need RSA keys in most cases, because not every client is able to handle ECDSA keys and corresponding ciphers.
This means you need to have both keys configured at the same time.
Depending on how you map your TLS Credentials via server doc/internet sites, it might not work for you as expected.
Let me try to explain how the new TLS Cache works and which options you have.
Updated Table of Client types that are connecting to a Sametime server (include Notes 12)
By Ales Lichtenberg | 6/16/21 1:04 AM | Infrastructure - Sametime | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

HCL Sametime 11.6 and MongoDB 4.4 - how to enable mongo security correctly
By Matteo Bisi | 6/14/21 1:53 AM | Infrastructure - Sametime | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
HCL Sametime 11.6 is supporting MongoDB 4.4 and this is the suggested version in case of new install.
One of the suggested steps during a Community setup is enable the Mongo security as described here , but the steps there are not enough, because 4.4 version in case of replica set , require also the creation and the use of a shared key to every Mongo server involved in the replica set, even if the replica set is composed by 1 node.
REST API Gateways
By Paul Withers | 6/14/21 1:07 AM | Development - Notes / Domino | Added by Andi Kress
Three years ago I presented at IBM Think I presented a session called Domino and JavaScript Development Masterclass with John Jardin. In that session I talked about the various REST options for Domino and used the term “API gateway”. Particularly at this time it makes sense to expand more on what was in the slides.
IBM Domino: Script to Enable Full Text Indexes on all mail files
By Enio Basso | 6/10/21 7:19 AM | Development - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
Currently the only way to enable full text on All mail files is using Domino Administrator. There is no command line option.
I create a LotusScript Agent to enable this. See code below
Agent must be set as "Agent List" and "All selected documents".
How to install correctly Sametime Community over Domino 11.0.1 FP3 on linux
By Matteo Bisi | 6/9/21 9:44 AM | Infrastructure - Sametime | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
During last weeks I'm working mostly on HCL Sametime preparing some meetings environments.
After the release of the 11.6 we have noted the server wasn't able to start if installed after FP3 of Domino 11.0.1.
The issue is similar to the Traveler issue , but we have fixed it in this way:
Domino V12 and Verse 2.1 How to add a Photo URL

Today i setup a Domino V12 server just for test some new features. A customer ask to use photos on Verse hosting photos on Domino.

Load JDBC SQL driver at runtime in DOTS and amgr
By Ulrich Krause | 6/7/21 1:14 AM | Development - Notes / Domino | Added by Andi Kress
Recently there was a discussion in the German Notes forum about an error when loading a JDBC driver. https://atnotes.de/index.php/topic,63166.0.html To be clear, the problem has so far only occurred with the driver for MySQL.
The driver used is the same as the one used for HCL Traveler when Traveler uses a MySQL database as backend datastore in HA mode.
101 NEW features of Domino 12 - Domino People
By Cormac McCarthy | 6/4/21 2:06 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
I was thinking about the actual features included and the list is so long I started to write them down. I did write a blog for HCL a few weeks back on the Four Security Security features you’ve been waiting for and writing down an actual list this week I came up with 101 features of Domino 12. (believe it or not there’s actually more than that but I had to draw the line somewhere!).
#Newin12 Domino ID Vault
By Gabriella Davis | 6/1/21 2:24 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
As I posted last week, Domino 12 and Sametime 11.6 and Traveler 12 and Nomad Web 1.0 are all out and there’s lots of good news for admins, users and developers alike but since I’m an admin that’s what I’m going to talk about. Instead of a large dull blog listing all the things I think are most interesting useful, I’m going to do a series of short slightly-less-dull blogs focusing in on each one individually.
Automatic "one time" deletion of Cache.ndk at start
By Jesper Kiær | 6/1/21 2:22 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
I have had users with different (weird) issues since V11 and all that would fix it was a deletion of the cache file Cache.ndk.
Cache.ndk is great for performance and you do want to keep it around, however sometimes you just need to delete it to fix issues and let it rebuild again at a Notes restart
#NewIn12 It’s Grouptastic
By Gabriella Davis | 6/1/21 3:03 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
Starting with the simplest – the ability to see what groups a person is in by selecting “Find Groups” from their person document. Yes we have had some of this before in the form of the “Manage Groups” dialog in the People and Groups view but this is more detailed, and most importantly printed on screen.
#NewIn12 – What Configuration Is My Server Using?

Such a simple thing that will again save me a lot of time. Open your server document and you now have an option to find and view any configuration document that server is assigned to. Click “Find Server Config”

Now that Domino V12 is released, we can look into more deployment scenarios.
I have looked into many different scenarios over the couple of month during beta and played with many integrations and described them in earlier posts.
Let me describe the main use-cases and I see today. And I am very interested to hear what you would like to integrate with.

XPages Renderers and Thread Safety
By Jesse Gallagher | 5/27/21 11:43 AM | Development - Notes / Domino | Added by Andi Kress
I got to thinking yesterday about renderers in XPages - the part of the stack that takes the abstract back-end representation and actually turns it into HTML. They've been an interest of mine for a good while and they have interesting characteristics worth revisiting from time to time.
