DAOS – JAR files in Java agents  

By Ulrich Krause | 1/24/20 12:50 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

If DAOS is activated on a database, in addition to the attachments from data documents, the jar files contained in a Java agent are also transferred to the DAOS repository if they exceed the set size. I have been able to reproduce the problem with Domino V11. I started with a freshly installed server, activated DAOS on the server.

By Chris Whisonant | 1/23/20 11:08 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

SELinux Support for Domino  

By Daniel Nashed | 1/22/20 8:34 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

There is a AHA idea to have Domino support SELinux. My impression was that SELinux is already supported with current Domino releases. I asked HCL and it turned out that SELinux is not tested, thus it is currently not supported. It would be extra test effort for every distibution and version to run with SELinux.
