IBM Connections change file owner. How to get the list of all the files of a user 

By Roberto Boccadoro | 6/21/19 10:37 AM | Infrastructure - Connections | Added by Matteo Bisi

In Connections 6 CR5 there is the possibility of changing the owner of one or more files. To do that you need to build a list of file IDs and put it in a text file that then will be used by the wsadmin command to change ownership of those files. The problem is to find a quick way to get the list of all the files owned by a user. Here is a quick way to do that. Thanks to Adam Gartenberg for the tip.

Get sorted results from DQL queries 

By Ulrich Krause | 6/6/19 9:33 AM | App Dev - Bluemix | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

NotesDominoQuery by now does not support sorting of the results that come out of a query. John Curtis demoed at DNUG46 in Essen how you can get your results sorted. He showed the code only for a second, so I needed to rewrite it from scratch. The method that he showed leverages from the new ‘maintainOrder’ property that has been added in V10 to the NotesViewEntryCollection class.

Beginning with iOS13 and macOS 10.15 the more stricter handling could have quite high impact and lead to untrusted certificates specially for internal certificates. An official CA should have taken care of this already and certificates should be correctly issued.

I should be probably doing some work now, but the last three weeks were quite busy and a short blog post may help me to process all the information I gathered (or I'm just too tired to get any real work done as it looked like that half of Poland is going home for an extended weekend due to public holiday in Germany and I got home at 2AM instead of 11PM).

Domino App Dev Pack: Understanding Scopes 

By Paul Withers | 5/28/19 9:35 AM | App Dev - Web | Added by Oliver Busse

One of the aspects of the app dev pack yet to fully coalesce is the concept of scopes. But I think it will be key to the future, as an app dev and admin tool. It’s certainly something that will not be familiar to those who have never stepped beyond Domino.
