Understanding Notes Client JVM Heap 

By Paul Withers | 11/21/18 1:47 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

In base Eclipse it’s also possible to set these, in the eclipse.ini and display the current heap size in the preferences, on the General tab. That setting for displaying the current heap size has also been available in Domino Designer’s preferences for some time. You can’t see the setting in the Notes Client, only in Domino Designer. It’s again on the General tab.

node node.js, domino-db & Docker (12): DominoDB and a big NO-NO? 

By Sven Hasselbach | 11/15/18 7:17 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

Disclaimer: This is a response on Heiko’s post about his security considerations with the domino-db module. It is good to have such a discussion, and hopefully this discussion will go on. This is my personal view on this topic. If you have another opinion, feel free to add a comment.

DominoDB and a big NO-NO ! 

By Heiko Voigt | 11/14/18 5:26 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

So folks, the beta of DominoDB is out and people are starting to use it. One of my early-adopting customers started to play around with it and started to create a React.-based application using DominoDb to modify database content. They secured their Proton task using the SSL encryption. So far so good. What I did not expect was the flaw in the architecture of the app that I came across when I looked at the source

My opinion about Domino on Docker – ICS & IBM Connections 

By Nico Meisenzahl | 11/12/18 4:58 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

In this post, I would like to summarize my thoughts about Domino on Docker. I will mainly focus on “What do I need to run Domino on a scale in a containerized environment” and the requirements which would be needed to do so.

The Changing Domino Environment Architecture - Intec Systems 

By Paul Withers | 11/12/18 4:33 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

This article has been prompted by my previous one on Domino application development. One of the major differences between Domino application development in the past and the approaches for Node.js-related development in the future is architecture. But part of that could also be an inhibitor for existing customers, because of the incubated world of Domino.

Measure to prevent IBM Notes from crashing using Mojave (macOS 10.14) 

By Roberto Mazzoni | 11/12/18 2:32 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

Mojave (macOS 10.14) changes the default appearance on your Mac. It is no longer light, but new dark. This change prevents IBM Notes from starting if the Operating System Theme was previously set in IBM Notes preferences (IBM Notes –> Preferences –> Windows and Themes).

IBM VOP 1.0.5IF1 

By Remco Angioni | 11/11/18 7:37 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

For those who installed VOP1.0.5, loading the INBOX wasn’t working anymore. Seems there was a bug in the 1.0.5 release. But after installing the IF1, it’s up and running again. All the new features are working nice. I enabled the Gravatar option and you can see the results. It’s working perfectly.

Domino as a modern, viable platform for years to come 

By DNUG | 11/8/18 1:51 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

One month ago IBM launched Domino V10. We had the chance to talk to Andrew Manby, Director of Product Management, IBM Collaboration Solutions after the roadshow. Here is the interview.

Whither XPages? 

By Paul Withers | 11/8/18 9:55 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

Some years ago I wrote a blog post called “Whither the Notes Client”. At the time (2012) XPages was flourishing, the Notes browser plugin (subsequently ICAA) was being launched, Symphony was being stopped and the IBM-specific enhancements routed back to Apache OpenOffice and iNotes was being integrated into what is now Connections Cloud.

Problems with Verse on Premises 1.0.5 and Traveler 

By Roberto Boccadoro | 11/7/18 5:49 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

On my server I upgraded VoP to 1.0.5 and Traveler stopped working. Looking at the console there were no errors but the devices could not connect to the server anymore; opening https://server/traveler gave a 404 error.

IBM Verse On-Premises 1.0.5 is available

node.js, domino-db & Docker (5): memcached 

By Sven Hasselbach | 11/5/18 3:04 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

To use memcached in our Docker container, we have to modify the existing Dockerfile a little bit. First it is required to install memcached in the container itself, and then it is required to change the CMD command to start the service and our express application.

Deploying The AppDev Pack – An Admins Guide 

By Gabriella Davis | 11/4/18 6:33 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

Over here on the blog is Tim’s next entry talking about Node development and Domino, this time he explains how to use the early release of the app dev package to access (read and write) Domino data via Node. However I don’t let developers do Domino admin so this is the bit where I explain how to configure Domino. It’s all very easy and also all still early release so things may well change for GA.

At the IBM Domino V10 Launch event in Frankfurt we announced to start a public Beta for IBM Domino Mobile Apps (=DMA), which is a Notes Client for the Apple iPad to be available on Oct. 31 and perfectly on time for Halloween we opened the Beta Sign up form for anybody to participate and also tweeted about it.

How Do You Solve a Problem Like XPages? 

By Jesse Gallagher | 11/2/18 1:57 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

Fair warning: this is a meandering one and I'm basically a wet blanket the whole way through) Last week, HCL held the third of their Twitter-based developer Q&As, with this one focusing on XPages and Designer. The majority of the questions (including, admittedly, all of mine) were along the lines of either "can we get some improvements in the Java/XPages stack?" or "is XPages still supported?". The answer to the latter from HCL, as it would have to be, is that XPages is still alive and "fully supported".

Query Domino data with Domino JNA (part 3): REST API and infinite scroll 

By Mark Leusink | 11/2/18 7:36 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

With the demos from part 1 and part 2 we now have a list running in XPages that has sorting, paging and filtering. But what if you want to use Domino JNA in a REST API? To serve a JavaScript/ Angular/ React/ Vue application or, why not, an app running in Office 365?

node.js, domino-db & Docker (4): Error Handling 

By Sven Hasselbach | 11/1/18 11:03 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

When we started our express application and accessed it in the browser, an error raised on the console and no response was sent back to the browser. The reason for this behaviour is that the database connection is not correctly configured, and the request from our application fails.

node.js, domino-db & Docker (3): Adding domino-db 

By Sven Hasselbach | 11/1/18 3:46 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

The express application is still the boilerplate created by express generator. Now let’s look into the existing code and use the domino-db package. First we have to understand express a little bit better. I won’t go deeply into details, because there are many tutorials available, and the documentation is really awesome.

node.js, domino-db & Docker (2): Dev Environment 

By Sven Hasselbach | 11/1/18 3:45 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

Before we can start to create a new app we first have to setup a development environment. While there are multiple IDE’s around, I have made most of my node.js development with Atom instead of an IDE like Eclipse or Visual Studio. Maybe this will change in the future, but for a better understanding, let’s start with Atom and do the required steps manually.

node.js, domino-db & Docker 

By Sven Hasselbach | 11/1/18 3:45 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

Here is an example to create a express application with the new domino-db npm module and run it in a docker container. Requirements are that node.js & Docker is installed. Everything is done in the command line and a text editor.

New DBMT Switches in Domino 10 

By Daniel Nashed | 10/27/18 10:13 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

There are new abbreviated command line switches in Domino V10. They are helpful if you have to type them in manually and because the dbmt compact command line has a limit of 128 bytes. It was in discussion earlier and finally made it into Domino V10. Beside those abbreviated commands there are also 3 new command-line switches are documented below. -ods is not yet documented in the dbmt -help command but the other two have been added.

Domino 10 flexible and easy Statistic Collection 

By Daniel Nashed | 10/27/18 10:12 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

Today I had another look into the statistic collection option that is available in Domino 10. The idea of my post is to give you an idea what this can do for you. Even if you have no central system yet or if it was to complicated to integrate. This sample might be helpful to see how it works out of the box with very simple configuration. This new functionality pushes the server statistics per minute to a defined target via HTTP post.

The superlatives and positive messages about the Norwegian user group’s (ISBG) launch of IBM/Notes Domino V10 in Norway yesterday has been pouring in all morning. As the leader of ISBG, this makes me immensely happy. And it gives bright hope for the future, and we will use this momentum when we’ve now started preparing for the spring seminar. Read on to see what happened at the launch!

[V10] – nserver -c command not working properly when used with te amgr run 

By Ulrich Krause | 10/24/18 5:48 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

Andy Brunner informed me a couple of days ago that using the “te amgr run” in a server program document command does no longer work after upgrading the server to Domino V10. I have created a case with IBM support. The case number is TS001489373 and the issue is tracked unter SPR# GFALB5NKTV. The case has already been escalated to development and they are investigating the issue and I’m awaiting their feedback.
