APNs Certificate used for Traveler 9.0.1.21 Expires 

By John Oldenburger | 3/21/19 4:44 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

As mentioned before the APNs certificate implemented in IBM Notes Traveler 9.0.1.21 expires on March 30. Apple Push Notification Service, commonly referred to as Apple Notification Service or APNS, is a platform service created by Apple Inc. that enables third party application developers to send push notifications to iOS users. After March 30 the Push Notifications for Apple iOS devices will no longer work with the current certificate for Notes Traveler 9.0.1.21. The only solution is to upgrade to Notes Traveler 10.0 or 10.0.1 to get the current APNs certificate

Implementing Cluster Replication From Domino to Darwino 

By Jesse Gallagher | 3/19/19 10:30 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

Since its inception, Darwino has had two-way replication between it and Domino, and it's evolved over the years in fidelity and configurability. Recently, I was able to check an item off the to-do list that I've wanted for a while: "cluster-style" replication from Domino, where a document change immediately kicks off replication to Darwino.

IBM mail support for MS Outlook (IMSMO) on Domino 10 

By Ales Lichtenberg | 3/15/19 4:23 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

IBM mail support for MS Outlook (IMSMO) is a tool that allows MS Outlook users to synchronize mail, calendar with Domino server. This is not a new tool, but with Domino 10 it has undergone some configuration changes, especially on the server side. Important change: The server components required for IMSMO are installed with the Traveler server. Installing the IBM mail server add-on (IMSA) is no longer necessary.

The easiest way to make sure that the Push Notifications functions properly is to update your Traveler Server to 10.0.0.0 or newer release.

Preventing “Build Automatically” Via Policy 

By Paul Withers | 3/13/19 10:06 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

As one of the first steps in XPages training I cover making configuration and settings changes to Domino Designer to optimise your experience. One of those is switching off Build Automatically. Unless your day-to-day ID only has Editor or below access to applications, sooner or later having Build Automatically enabled will cause problems.

Notes Auto Update - Using the AUT Catalog to Upload new Notes Versions 

By John Oldenburger | 3/12/19 5:13 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

In my previous blog post Domino 10.0.1. - Notes Auto Update - Introduction and Configuration Document AUT Servers I described how to create a Configuration document for AUT servers. The Configuration document enables the servers for AUT and specifies a server DNS (an AUT server or a round-robin DNS name) that Notes clients connect to check for updates. In this blog I will describe how to use the AUT Catalog to upload new Notes versions.

Panagenda Application Insights - how to deploy

Application Insight is one of Panagenda’s products, one of the tools for analyzing Domino environments. This is not a new product that is closely related to Domino 10 but is certainly capable of helping in deciding on the transition to Domino 10. In addition, customers who have valid IBM support can get this product for free. At this time a license is available until April 2019.

By John Oldenburger | 3/8/19 12:05 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

n our Domino production environment we have Domino 9.0.1 Feature Pack 9 installed. We also upgraded our mail databases to the Mail template Feature Pack 9 (Mail R9FP9).

Domino V11 And XPages 

By John Oldenburger | 3/5/19 4:53 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

Some time ago I wrote two blog posts about the future of XPages, XPages as a Development Platform is Dead! and Update XPages as a Development Platform is Dead! Up to now there has been no news from HCL or IBM about the future of XPages and the will to invest in XPages in the coming years. The only thing indicated by HCL is that XPages will be supported in Domino V10 and beyond.

Traveler Optimization for Slow Backend Mail Server Connections

In the last couple of month we have been working on performance bottlenecks for customers with higher latency network connections between Traveler and the back-end mail-servers. It took a while until we got all the fixes implemented after very detailed analysis (for example I wrote an extension manager to track object reads).

HCL Factory Tour Episode 2 

By Paul Withers | 3/1/19 5:17 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

This week I’ve spent a hugely beneficial amount of time at the HCL Factory Tour Episode 2. As with the previous factory tour, the ability to get quality time with key individuals from HCL and IBM, as well as not only hear but feed back on progress is invaluable. Before going I’d also intended to use the conference to crystalise my focuses for Engage. And obviously it was a great opportunity to have influential discussions regarding OpenNTF and open source, discussions that would normally have happened at IBM Think.

Milan is just a 3.5 hour trip in the train from Zürich, going through the new Gotthard tunnel, so it was an almost leisurely travel, compared to the trip to Boston last year.
