Our printable documentation, Guidelines for Developers and Translators, in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, is available for download, from the Lotus Web site at www.lotus.com/international.

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

2. Overview of features Please refer to the "What's new in IBM Lotus Notes" topic in Help for information about features that are new in the Notes client. 3. System Requirements The following hardware is recommended:
A Pentium or equivalent processor
A minimum of 32Mb of memory
Approximately 32Mb of hard disk space to install the software
Operating system:
Windows XP is required to use this product.
To use the WorkBench:
Domino Designer 6 or above
To translate Domino Global WorkBench glossaries:
Notes 6 client, or above, or
Domino 6 server and Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
To use applications built by Domino Global WorkBench:
Server: Domino 6 or above
Client: Notes 6 or above, or a Web browser (see below)
To install the Language Synchronizer:
Server: Domino Release 5 or above
Browsers: To work with Web-enabled language applications, a browser must be capable of supporting HTTP language detection, for example Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. 4. Download and Installation To install from the Notes CD: Open the Apps\DGW folder and run Setup.exe. To install after downloading from the Web: You will have one file, DGW800.ZIP. Download this file to a temporary directory on your hard disk. Unpack it then run SETUP.EXE which will begin the installation process. Installation issues Before installing Domino Global WorkBench, be sure that your Notes program directory is in your path. Add it if necessary. (For example, in Windows 98, edit your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file and add C:\LOTUS\NOTES to the PATH= statement.) If you are installing under Windows NT, 2000 or XP, and the user account being used does not have administrator privileges, you may find that installation terminates prematurely. This is because the install program is refused permission to copy the Microsoft MFC shared DLL, MFC42.DLL, resulting in install terminating before it completes. The solution is to ensure that the user account you use to install Domino Global WorkBench has administrator rights on the NT machine. (For the majority of users this is the case, so the problem does not arise.)

Release Notes

5. Glossaries The design of the Domino Global WorkBench glossary application (DGWGLOSS.NTF) has been enhanced. You can update the design of glossaries created using earlier versions of Domino Global WorkBench by choosing File - Application - Replace Design. 6. Multilingual applications and browsers The default language of a multilingual application will only be observed if: 1. You choose a language for your browser that does not exist in the multilingual
application, and
2. No other languages that are used in your multilingual application are present in the language listbox of your Web browser. 7. Language switching and browsers When using Netscape or Internet Explorer to view multilingual applications created with Domino Global WorkBench, you must remove cached files before you can switch languages from the browser's 'Preferences' or 'Internet Options' dialog box. This is primarily relevant to developers, during testing. Workarounds Netscape: The cache size can be set to zero (0) in the 'Preferences' dialog. Otherwise, the cache must be emptied, again through the 'Preferences' dialog, when switching languages. Internet Explorer: The cache size reduction in this browser is limited to 1% of the machine's hard-disk size, so it cannot be set to zero (0). The cache may be emptied via the 'Internet Options' dialog, or the option to delete cached files may be set in the 'Advanced' tab of the 'Internet Options'dialog (see below) when the browser is closed. The cached files are then deleted by closing and then reopening the browser.

8. Synchronization The language synchronizer has not changed in this release of Domino Global WorkBench. Synchronized applications Performance issues have been noted when synchronizing large numbers of new documents ( > 1,000 ) where the applications are located on a server other than that on which the synchronizer server task is running. It is best to locate applications on the same server as the synchronizer server task. 9. Bi-Directional language support Domino Global WorkBench includes bi-directional functionality for the Hebrew and Arabic languages. For details, see the topic "Support for bi-directional languages" in the documentation.

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

10. LotusScript compile and Notes documents You may encounter problems if you use Domino Global WorkBench to localize Notes documents that contain LotusScript or formulas. This can happen if: 1. The form used by the documents contains some LotusScript and has the "Store form in document" property set (on the Info tab of Designer form infobox). The entire contents of the form are then included with every document created from it, but the LotusScript is not recompiled as part of the build process, even if it has been translated. The original (source application) version of the script will execute in the built application. 2. The documents have hotspots that contain script. This only applies to hotspots in the document content (in other words, added by the author in a rich text field). All hotspots in document content are signed as a security measure. Because Domino Global WorkBench cannot sign these hotspots it cannot translate the associated LotusScript. If the WorkBench encounters LotusScript in a signed hotspot, it issues the following warning: Warning: A signed hotspot could not be translated. The untranslated data may include scripts and/or formulas. The script is then copied to the target application without any changes (in other words, without tagging or translation). Workaround: LotusScript or formulas associated with signed hotspots must be translated by hand in the Notes 6 client after building is complete. 11. Editing documents in a projects application Documents in a projects application are, by default, not editable. If a document must be edited, then it must be opened and View\Switch Form... selected. The form for the document is then chosen, and the document placed in edit mode. If a folder document name is edited in the project application, then the names of any project documents for this folder must also be modified to match or unexpected results may occur in the WorkBench. 12. Keywords and values in help documents Sometimes a Notes application may span several applications, with all keywords and values grouped in help documents in one of the applications. Formulas referencing the application with the keywords and values will only continue to work if they contain the correct name of the application file they are calling. When localizing, you can either translate the application name in the calling formulas, in which case you must take care to rename the built application to the translated name, or you can leave the application name untranslated in the calling formulas, in which case the different language versions of the application will have to reside in different directories. The help documents themselves can be processed in the usual way by Domino Global WorkBench. 13. Project icons in Windows XP In Windows XP, the display of project icons on the left frame of the WorkBench can be obscured if you create too many of them (more than about 25). You can alleviate the problem by organizing your projects into folders.

Language dictionary files The language dictionary files are used for spell-checking within Notes. The following language dictionary files are included in a self extracting file located in the \APPS\DICTIONARIES directory. Notes automatically installs certain dictionary files that correspond to your language version of Notes. If you want to use one of the dictionary files listed below and find that it has not been installed automatically by Notes, simply decompress the contents of the DICTIONARIES.EXE (DICTIONARIES.SEA for Macintosh) self-extracting file on the CD-ROM to a temporary directory on your hard drive and copy the appropriate dictionary file (listed below) into your Notes data directory.

Release Notes

SwiftFile Mail Assistant 4.0 for IBM Lotus Notes SwiftFile is an add-on to the Notes client that helps users file their e-mail into folders. SwiftFile learns to predict where the user is likely to file each incoming message. Based on its predictions, SwiftFile adds three shortcut buttons to the top of each message that can be used to quickly file a message into one of the suggested folders. When one of SwiftFiles predictions is correct, the effort required to file a message is reduced to a single button click. Installation SwiftFile can be installed from the Notes CD by running setup.exe in the Apps\SwiftFile directory. After the SwiftFile installer completes, follow the directions in the SwiftFile ReadMe file to enable SwiftFile for your mail application. International Support SwiftFile supports all languages supported by Lotus Notes. Multiple languages can be mixed within the same application and even within the same document without adversely affecting SwiftFile's prediction ability. System Requirements
Windows XP
32 MB RAM 10 MB free disk space Lotus Notes client

Free Time Web Service application The Busy Time Web Service application (BUSYTIMEWS.NSF) allows a Domino Server to provide busy time information about the users in its Domino Directory through a Web Service. This is a sample application and may change in future releases. Using this application
This is a sample application and may change in future releases.
Accessing the Web Service The Domino server now does free/busy time lookup for meeting attendees whose names are Internet e-mail addresses. If an attendee whose name is an Internet e-mail address is in the same Domino Domain as the server, the server obtains the attendee's free time information from the Free Time application (BUSYTIME.NSF) as usual. If the attendee is not in the local Domino domain, the server sends the lookup request to the Web Service gateway, wsconn. Wsconn then makes a Web service request for the information to the Web service defined by the NOTES.INI variable WSCALCONN_URL. The URL should have the following syntax for a remote Domino server providing the Web service: http://host/busytimews.nsf/busytimelookup?OpenWebService To run wsconn at server startup, add wsconn to the NOTES.INI variable ServerTasks.
Any Web service client can obtain free time information using this Web service

Release Notes

Providing the Web Service

To provide the web service on a Domino server:
1. Add a new person document to the Domino directory that includes an HTTP password. No Notes ID is required for this user. 2. Modify the ACL of the database BUSYTIMEWS.NSF to give this user Reader access. 3. Provide this user's name and HTTP password to the manager of the server or Web service client that wants to access the Web service. Tip: Use a full name without spaces to make the use of this name in URLs easier to manage.
Obtaining the WSDL of the Web Service
To obtain the WSDL (the formal definition of the Web Service, encoded in XML) for this Web Service,
use the following URL:
http://host/busytimews.nsf/busytimelookup?WSDL Securing the Web Service
You can secure the Free Time Web Service by doing one of the following:

Protect the service using HTTP transport level security. To do this, create a new user in the server's Domino Directory and assign that user an HTTP password. The user does not need a Notes ID. Then set the application ACL for BUSYTIMEWS.NSF to "no access" for Default and "no access" for Anonymous. Set the access for this new user to Reader. To provide the user name and password when a Domino server accesses this Web service, include the username and password in the URL as follows. Remember that URLs cannot contain spaces. http://username:password@host/busytimews.nsf/busytimelookup?OpenWebService

Encrypt the data exchange with the Web service using SSL. You can do this if the server's Web server is configured to support SSL and the URL contains HTTPS rather than HTTP.

New features in IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.0.2

The following list represents an overview of the new features that are available in IBM Lotus Notes and
IBM Lotus Domino 8.0.2. For more comprehensive information about new features, please refer to the
Documentation Updates chapter of these release notes, and to the IBM Lotus Domino and Notes
Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp.
Client Client UI
z

The choice to use either a Windows selection model, which is currently in the Notes 8.0.2 Standard client, or the classic Notes selection model, has been provided. This replaces Notes 7.x functionality that was lost in previous 8.0.x Java views.

Notes Client on Linux

z

The Notes Toolbox / My Widgets and LiveText features have been expanded to include platform support for Linux.

Performance
z

The Notes 8.0.2 Standard client has been upgraded to Java 6 SR1 J2SE runtime, which has been shown to improve startup performance.

Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook (DAMO)

z z z

Support for DAMO in a Citrix environment has been introduced Support for Outlook 2007 - DAMO now runs on Outlook 2007 SP1 Support for Windows Vista - DAMO is supported on the Windows Vista OS. See the "Known limitations, problems, and workarounds" section of these release notes for Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook issues.

Domino Web Access

z

New ultralite client mode - The newest mode of Domino Web Access is the ultralite mode, called Lotus iNotes ultralite mode. It is designed for use on a mobile device and is initially supported on the Apple iPhone or iPod touch. It provides basic mail and contacts capabilities, along with a day-at-a-glance calendar. For additional information on this new mode see the topic "Domino Web Access ultralite mode" in the the IBM Lotus Domino and Notes Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp.

Release Notes

Domino Designer Functions and Methods

z z

A new function can be used to prevent exporting view data to local files when the Notes database ACL setting "Replicate or copy documents" is set to 'Prevent copying'. A new method, RichTextDocLink.RemoveLinkage, can be used on a document link or hotspot link to remove the linkage. In the case of a simple doclink, the link is removed. In the case of a hotspot link, this method removes only the linkage, leaving the text intact.

Domino Server Platform

z

Domino is now supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.1, 32-bit and 64-bit. For additional information, see "Notes and Domino 8.0.2 platforms and system requirements" in these release notes.

Proxy
z

NTLMv2 proxy authentication is now supported. There are no special configuration instructions; it can be configured in the same way as any other proxy. Note, however, that the Apache Axis 1.4 runtime used for Domino Web Services does not use the platform URL handler, and will not obey the proxy configuration.

Domino for i5/OS

z

The variable TCP_NODELAY is now set to "on" for the socket connection, by default. This means that the Nagle algorithm is now off by default. The Nagle algorithm, named for its creator John Nagle, is used to automatically concatenate a number of small buffer messages; this process (called "nagling") increases the efficiency of a network application system by decreasing the number of packets that must be sent.

Domino Designer

Local Composite Applications support

Notes now has support for creating and opening non-NSF-based, local composite applications. A user can simply choose File -> Application -> New Composite Application from the menu bar and create a new composite application. These applications are written locally and have the extension .ca. They can be edited with the Composite Application Editor (CAE), and used just as portal-based or NSF-based composite applications are used. Enabling Local Composite Applications (.ca) By default, the UI elements that provide access to the new local composite application support will not be visible. They are filtered out with an Eclipse activity, as they are considered to be an advanced user feature. The CAE is considered a related component to the "New Composite Application" action so, even if you enable these actions, New Composite Application will only be present when CAE is installed as well.

11

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

Local composite application support can also be enabled by editing the plugin_customization.ini file for Notes. This file is located in the <INSTALL_DIR>\framework\rcp directory. Open the plugin_customization.ini file and add the following entry: com.ibm.rcp.ca.utils/localCAenabled=true

Smartcard Package Caveats :

z

The technique introduced in 7.0 to "Lock ID With Key on Smartcard" will be used with all tokens that support C_Sign for CKM_RSA_PKCS with input lengths up to k-11 bytes, in accordance with the PKCS#11 specification. New techniques for locking the ID file using a private RSA key on the smartcard were added in later releases for some tokens that do not support the full range of input lengths, and those tokens are marked with (version+) in the relevant columns of the above table. ID files locked with these new techniques can not be used by older versions of Notes/Domino; attempts to do so will result in an "Unsupported ID file version" error. Aladdin eToken RTE 3.65 has been tested with this release using eToken PRO USB 64k tokens and eToken NG-FLASH USB tokens.

17

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

The Belgian eID was tested with run-time version 2.5.9, and we highly recommend that customers upgrade to the most recent version of the Belgian eID Run-time software. Users will receive redundant PIN prompts from the PKCS#11 library as well as Notes due to the token failing to set the CKF_PROTECTED_AUTHENTICATION_PATH token flag, but setting "allow_sso = false" in the Belgian eID configuration file beidbase.conf will eliminate the duplicate prompts. However, setting that variable and rebooting with the token in the reader may result in the PKCS#11 library hanging when first attempting to use the smartcard. This problem does not appear to occur when the ID file is locked with a key on the smartcard. The DataKey CIP 4.07 software installs multiple PKCS#11 libraries. dkck201.dll uses PKCS#11 v2.01 and has been tested successfully with Notes; dkck232.dll uses PKCS#11 v2.00 and does not work with Notes. The Estonian eID was tested with the PKCS#11 library from id-card-installer-0.7.exe (2/14/2006) Using this version of the library, the pre-loaded certificates could be imported into the ID file and used for S/MIME signing and decryption, but smartcard login was nonfunctional. It is possible that a newer version of the smartcard drivers will fix the token limitation that prevented the "Lock ID With Key on Smartcard" action from succeeding. The GemSafe Libraries 4.2 SP3 returns CKR_DEVICE_ERROR instead of CKR_TOKEN_NOT_PRESENT from C_GetTokenInfo when no token is in the reader. If Notes fails to automatically activate a workaround for this token bug, it may be necessary to manually set PKCS11_TOKEN_BUGS=128 in the notes.ini file. Due to the occasional failure of this token to report slot events, it may also be necessary to hit F5 and log out of Notes in order to force a PIN prompt when using keys on a smartcard when the ID file is not secured with that same smartcard. The Rainbow CryptoSwift eCommerce Server Accelerator fails to report that RSA cryptographic operations are performed in hardware. If you are having difficulty performing cryptographic operations (including importing X.509 certificates or exporting RSA keys) with this device, setting PKCS11_NO_HWCHECK=1 or PKCS11_TOKEN_BUGS=2 in the NOTES.INI file will activate a workaround in Notes/Domino for this problem. The Secude token cannot perform cryptographic operations with a number of smart card readers due to the high power demands of that token. Please confirm that your token readers are supported by Secude before deploying this package. If you are having difficulty signing S/MIME messages with a key on these smartcards and are using a supported token reader, setting PKCS11_TOKEN_BUGS=1 in the NOTES.INI file will activate a workaround in Notes that may fix this problem. and upgrading your Secude software may fix this problem.

Caveats and Warnings :

z

An entry of "n/a" in the "Use pre-loaded keys and X.509 certificates" column does not necessarily indicate any incompatibility with the smartcard package, but simply means that we did not have a sample pre-loaded token to test against. Current versions of the Entrust CA create non-compliant PKCS#11 attributes for certificates and keys. Support for these keys and certs is limited; see "Problems using Entrust certificates on smartcards" in these release notes for more details. Read-only tokens, such as many national identity "eID" cards and Common Access Cards, can only be used to lock the ID file through the "Lock ID with Key on Smartcard" action, which was introduced in ND7. The "Enable Smartcard Login" action that was introduced in ND6 requires write access to the token.

18

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

The "Lock ID with Key on Smartcard" action will search all slots for the key needed to unlock the Notes ID file. Therefore, if a token is lost or locked out, a new token can be used with the old ID file, as long as the new token contains the exact same certificates and keys with the same key identifier (CKA_ID) attributes. However, if an ID file is smartcard-enabled using the "Enable Smartcard Login" option, then ID File Recovery must be used if the token is lost or locked out in order to revert the ID to a conventional password. The only way to revert a smartcard-protected ID file to a conventional password is through ID File Recovery. ID File Recovery should be configured for an ID file before the ID file is smartcard-enabled. Recovering a smartcard-protected ID file will revert the ID file to use a password and will restore any keys that were pushed onto the smartcard from the ID file, as long as the recovery information was not changed after the key was pushed down to the smartcard. Password expiration should be disabled in a user's person record before they smartcard-enable their ID file. Password checking will result in only a single smartcard being usable with a given ID file, even across multiple computers or platforms. In this scenario, one copy of the ID file should be smartcard-enabled, and then that version of the ID file should be copied to all of the other respective computers. That single smartcard will now be required for all of the copies of the ID file. Server setup will not function with a smartcard-protected server ID. In order to use a smartcard-protected ID with a server, finish server setup with a password-protected version of the ID file, then add the path to the PKCS #11 library in the server's NOTES.INI (PKCS11_Library=<path to library>), and finally smartcard-enable the server's ID file on a client or using the SECManipulateSC C-API function. Single Logon, which synchronizes the Notes and Windows passwords, cannot be used with a smartcard-protected ID file. You must restart Notes after disabling Single Logon before smartcard-enabling an ID file. Notes uses version 2.01 of the PKCS #11 API to communicate with smartcards and other PKCS#11 devices. PKCS #11 libraries that only implement version 2.0 will not result in an "F5"-style logout when the card is removed from the reader. Updated libraries may be available from the smartcard vendors.

If you are running with DB2 as the Domino datastore then you must add additional DB2 install requirements. DB2 9.1 is supported in the current release. NSFDB2 support is not available using Domino for System i. For additional install requirements, please see "Setting up and using Domino and DB2" in the Domino Administrator Help. 2 Only Microsoft TCP/IP is supported. 3 Domino clusters and partitioned server configurations do not support the IPX/SPX protocol. At this time, IBM does not plan to provide IPX/SPX network support for future releases of these features. 4 The 64-bit kernel must be installed and in use on these systems, even though the OS is 32-bit. The use of the 32-bit kernel is no longer supported on these platforms. Please see the OS vendor documentation for questions on enabling/using the 64-bit kernel. (On Solaris, the 64-bit kernel is used by default on supported hardware; this is not the case for AIX). 5 See "Domino 64-bit: Known issues" in these release notes for more information. 6 For more details on specific models, see "System i Performance Capabilities Reference" at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/i5os/topic/books/sc410607.pdf. 7 i5/OS only runs on 64-bit hardware and has been enabled for 64-bit for a long time. i5/OS also provides 128-bit pointer capability. This means that all software that runs on i5/OS, including Domino, is 64-bit capable and typically uses 128-bit pointers.

Citrix support statement

The Notes Client (Basic Configuration), and Domino Web Access, are supported on Citrix Presentation 1 Server 4.5 on Windows 2003 server, using ICA clients.
1

Citrix ICA stands for Citrix Independent Computing Architecture. It is the "thin" protocol that enables Citrix to separate screen updates and user input processing from the rest of the applications logic. When using a Citrix ICA client, all application logic executes on the server and only screen updates, mouse movements and keystrokes are transmitted via the Citrix ICA session.

The names may change slightly if you are running any other version of Linux, but the "gist" remains the same: you need the given package (such as libstdc++) and the given level (4.1.0). Sometimes a higher level is OK, but other times you need the given level or a compatible level (C++ is an example where you need the given level or compatible RPM, like compat-libstdc++-5). For example, on RHEL 5 you need compat-libstdc++-33 and compat-libstdc++-296 to get the correct C++ level of libraries for both Java and Domino. If there is no comparable patch available for RHEL, for example, then you should be ok with not applying the patch/package.

Windows Vista: Considerations for Notes install /upgrade

For Lotus Notes 8.0 installation on a Windows Vista client, it was required that User Account Control (UAC) was turned OFF. That requirement has been removed in release 8.0.1 and later. When installing or upgrading to Notes 8.0.x on a Windows Vista client, the UAC setting should be enabled (UAC ON) in the following situations:
z z

Lotus Notes 8.0.x single or multi-user install on Windows Vista on which no Lotus Notes
installation exists currently
Lotus Notes 8.0.x upgrade from an existing Lotus Notes 8.0 install on Windows XP

Listed below are two options for enabling the UAC setting on the Windows Vista client. You can also reference http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_vista.html. Note: When installing or uninstalling Notes with UAC ON, you must be working as an administrative user. Also note that installation directories are described in the "Notes installation directories" release note as well as the platform-specific installation topics in the Domino Administrator help information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp. Note: When installing Notes multi-user on a Windows Vista client with UAC on you must manually set 4 registry key values in the MSI transform file (MST) and call that transform from the Notes multi-user silent install command line or else you will not be able to run Notes after install. See the release note "Make required transform for silent multi-user install on Windows" for details on how to create this transform. Setting UAC ON -- Option 1 1. Click Start > Run and type MSCONFIG in the Run field to start the Microsoft Configuration Utility. Note: The Run menu may not visible by default. The Run command is in Programs Accessories.You can also find it by placing your cursor on the task bar, right-click, and choose > Properties > Start Menu > Classic Start menu. Alternatively you can click on the Vista Start icon in the bottom left corner of your screen and then t ype MSCONFIG in the search box to locate and start the utility. 2. If prompted for your administrator user name and password, or if so logged in, if prompted to continue respond as needed to continue. 3. Click the Tools tab. 4. Scroll down and click Enable UAC. Note: The Tools tab is a new addition to MSCONFIG in Windows Vista. The Enable UAC and Disable UAC options modify the Registry so that UAC will be either enabled or disabled upon your next client startup. Note that MSCONFIG requires that you have UAC authorization to run it and that Registry changes cannot be made without elevated privileges. 5. Click the OK or Launch button. 6. A command window will appear. When the command is finished running, close the window. 7. Close MSCONFIG and restart the computer to enable new the UAC setting.

Release Notes

Setting UAC ON -- Option 2 1. Click Start > Control panel to open the Windows Vista Control Panel. 2. Click User Accounts. 2. Click Turn User Account Control on or off. 3. Check the box next to Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer. 4. Click OK and restart the computer to enable the UAC setting. Upgrading from Notes 8.0 to 8.0.1 with UAC ON
While you can upgrade a Notes 8.0 installation that was installed with UAC turned OFF to a Notes 8.0.x
installation with UAC turned ON, you may encounter unexpected behavior such as the following:

After upgrade, some desktop shortcuts such as Notes 8 and the Symphony editors may only be visible and accessible to an administrative user. This can occur if you installed Notes 8.0 with UAC OFF, turned UAC ON, and then upgraded to Notes 8.0.1 with UAC ON. After upgrade in a single user environment, uninstalling Notes 8.0.x may not remove the Notes 8 and Symphony desktop shortcuts. This can occur if you installed Notes 8.0 single user with either UAC ON or UAC OFF and then upgraded to Notes 8.0.1 with UAC ON. After upgrade in a single user environment, duplicates of the Symphony and Notes 8 desktop icons may appear. This can occur if you installed Notes 8.0 single user (as an administrator) with UAC OFF and then upgraded to Notes 8.0.x with UAC ON.

Upgrading from single user to multi -user

The Notes installation program does not support automatic Notes upgrade from single user to multi-user
within the same release or from one release to another, although it is possible. To upgrade from single
user to multi-user, see the "Upgrading a Notes single user install to multi-user" release note.

Lotus Notes

Single user access to Notes default install directories

If you install Notes as a single user install to the default directory (C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes) or any subdirectory of C:\Program Files, you must then run Notes as an administrative user. In seeking to accommodate Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2 security with respect to this directory, programs installed to the Program Files directory require administrative privileges to run. This is a departure in behavior from earlier versions of Notes. To avoid this complication, do not install Notes to the C:\Program Files directory. The suggested single user Notes installation directory is C:\IBM\Lotus\Notes.

Reducing Notes Standard install kit size

The Notes 8.x Standard client contains features which increase the size of the install kits when compared to the Notes 8.x Basic install kits and previous releases. Some customer's infrastructures are not capable of efficiently handling distribution of the larger install kits and require a method by which they can reduce the size of the kit and still leverage the increased capabilities of the Notes 8.x Standard client. If you are not using Lotus Symphony, Sametime, or the Composite Application Editor in your user population you can reduce the size of the Notes 8.x Standard client install kit using the procedure described in this release note. Reductions to the size of the Notes 8.x Standard install kit are listed in the table below. Feature Name Lotus Symphony ... Sametime Composite Application Editor Size reduction (approximate) 78 megabytes 4 megabytes 4 megabytes

You can remove the following supplied features from the Notes 8.x Standard install kit: -- Lotus Symphony (represented as <installfeature default="false" description="%Editors.description" id="Editors"...) -- Sametime (represented as <installfeature default="true" description="%Sametime.description" id="SametimeUI" ...) -- Composite Application Editor ( represented as <installfeature default="false" description="%CAE.description" id="CAE"... ) Other features listed in the Notes 8.x Standard install kit are required and should not be removed using this method. Do not remove any other features from the kit. Note: Installfeatures are optional features of a Notes 8.x Standard install kit that may be selected by the user for installation. These features are defined in the install manifest file (deploy\install.xml). The implementation of these features is done in Java; the code resides in the zipped Eclipse update site directory updateSite.zip in the main install kit directory. It is possible to remove user selectable features from the updateSize.zip file and from the install manifest (deploy\install.xml) to reduce the size of the updateSite.zip file. As noted, this can reduce the size of the Notes 8.x Standard install kit. To remove any of the three features listed above from the Notes 8.x Standard Install kit, do the following: 1. Copy the Notes 8.x Standard install kit to a local drive to a new directory. Include all subdirectories, (for example."C:\NotesInstallKit\". 2. In the locally copied kit, rename updateSize.zip to a backup name such as UpdateSiteSave.zip. 3. Uncompress the backup file to a new directory, preserving the directory structure.

54

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

The contents of the directory should include the features and plugins subdirectories and site.xml as seen in the following graphic:

To remove only these specific InstallFeatures from the expanded update site directory, refer to the following table: InstallFeature Lotus Symphony Sametime Composite Application Editor Wildcard files to remove plugins\com.ibm.productivity.tools.* features\com.ibm.productivity.tools.* features\com.ibm.notes.sametime.installed.feature_ * plugins\com.ibm.notes.sametime.installed_* features\com.ibm.rcp.aaf.feature_* plugins\com.ibm.rcp.aaf.* plugins\com.ibm.rcp.aaf_* features\com.ibm.notes.toolbox.ca.adapter.feature_*

4. Using the wildcard syntax remove the files from the expanded update site directory. 5. Create a new "updateSite.zip" file by zipping the expanded update site directory making sure to include all subdirectories. You must preserve the existing directory structures. Note: The resulting .zip file must include "site.xml" at the root of the updateSite.zip and must not include a directory at the top level. 6. Copy the deploy\install.xml file to a backup file such as installsave.xml. 7. Using a text editor, (i.e. Notepad, Wordpad), open "deploy\install.xml". Locate the ID of the feature you removed in step 4 above by searching for the feature ID listed below: Feature Name Lotus Symphony ... Composite Application Editor Sametime Feature ID Editors -- expressed in the installfeature statement as id="Editors" CAE -- expressed in the installfeature statement as id="CAE" SametimeUI --expressed in the installfeature statement as id="SametimeUI"

8. From the point in the file where the feature ID was found, look backward in the file for the start of the feature definition which starts with "<installfeature ...". 9. Insert a blank line on the line BEFORE the line that starts with "<installfeature ...". 10. Type "<!-- <enter>" on the blank line (omit the quotes -- <enter> means press the Enter key to end the line). 11. Insert a blank line at the end of the feature definition -- on the line AFTER "</installfeature>". 12. Type "--> <enter>" on the blank line (omit the quotes -- <enter> means press the "enter" key to end the line). 13. Save the file. The updated Notes install kit should now be ready to deploy. Perform a test installation to be sure that the kit functions correctly. If it does not, recheck that you have followed the steps in this procedure.

Notes Basic configuration cannot be run from Domino directory

For users who choose to use the "old-style" Notes Basic configuration, instead of the Notes 8 Standard configuration which is Eclipse-based, be aware that starting Notes Basic configuration (nlnotes.exe) from the Domino program directory is not supported. For example, if you have installed the Notes Basic configuration to the C:\Lotus\Domino directory, you cannot run nlnotes.exe from that directory. To avoid this complication, consider installing and running the Notes Basic configuration in the default directory, for example C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes. For more information about Notes installation directories, see the platform-specific Notes installation instructions in the Domino 8 Administrator information center, and the "Notes installation directories" release note.

Installation and Notes launch from Linux CD -ROM

When installing or upgrading to Notes 8 from a CD-ROM, after successfully installing you must open a UNIX shell and navigate to the installed Notes program, typically /opt/ibm/lotus/notes. Start Notes from the shell. Because of browser considerations, the Start Notes option, found at the end the Notes installation program for other platforms, is not available when installing Notes from CD-ROM on a Linux platform.

CD mount issue with RHEL 5 for Notes installs

When installing Notes from CD onto an RHEL 5 Linux client, you must mount the CD drive using exec as a gconf mount option. Once so mounted, you can insert the Notes installation CD into the drive and run the installer by typing ./setup.sh. By default, RHEL 5 does not allow the execute permission on a mounted CD drive. To properly mount the RHEL 5 client drive, use the following command: gconftool-2 /system/storage/default_options/iso9660/mount_options -s "[exec]" -t list --list-type=string

Creating a verbose install log file

When you install Lotus Notes 8 on a Windows or Linux client, the system creates an install log file in the < installdir >\framework\installer_logs directory. On Windows, it also creates a LotusInstall.log file in the My Documents directory. These install log files are helpful but if you are reporting a problem with your installation, a verbose log file will contain more of the information that support needs to help resolve your problem. Note: For information about attaching your verbose log file to a problem report and sending that problem report to Notes 8 support, see the "Reporting Notes 8 issues and problems" release note. If reporting issues against the Windows version Notes 8 installation program, you should include a verbose install log file with your problem report. To create a verbose install log file, do either of the following:
z

Run the Notes install SETP.EXE from the command line in the verbose mode and specify a log file name. For example, start the installer using the following command line: setup /v"/lv* c:\temp\install.log"

Set a registry value to always generate an MSI log file for each Notes 8 install and uninstall. To do so, create a registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer with String Value Logging=voicewarmup. This will create an MSI log file in your <temp > directory with the file extension ".log" for all MSI (Windows) installations.

UNIX: Running the launchpad.sh application

The Domino 8 UNIX CDs now include an application called "launchpad.sh". This application allows users to launch a browser, and launch the "Install" script from within the browser. It also allows users to read some documentation in Adobe PDF format. The launchpad.sh application can be started only from the shell window; it will not run by simply clicking on its icon in the file browser. In addition, the path to the "xterm" application should be in the PATH environmental variable, otherwise it displays "xterm not found" in the shell window.

Running the Domino-Portal Integration Wizard

Use the Domino-Portal Integration (DPI) Wizard to configure a WebSphere Portal server to work with your Domino-based infrastructure. You can use the DPI Wizard with the Domino 7.0 server, or more recent servers. The DPI Wizard eliminates many of the manual Domino and WebSphere Portal configuration steps required to run the Domino and Extended Products Portlets, Common Mail and Common Calendar. Note The DPI Wizard is supported on all of the platforms that support Portal. For information, see the Portal 6.1 Information Center http://infocenters.lotus.com/help5/index.jsp Prerequisites The DPI Wizard requires that both the Domino server and WebSphere Portal server be installed and set up.

Domino LDAP server, configured as the LDAP server for WebSphere Portal 6.0, running Domino release 7.0 or more recent, with the LDAP and HTTP/HTTPS services enabled. The wizard communicates over HTTP, but specifying an HTTPS port as well allows for a secure transmission of the DTPA token that the wizard copies. If security is enabled manually on the WebSphere Portal server 6.0, instead of enabling security with the Advanced Configuration Wizard on the WebSphere Portal server, you will need to restart the WebSphere Portal Administration server before you run the DPI Wizard. To prevent having to manually restart the WebSphere Portal Administration server, be sure to enable security in the Advanced Configuration Wizard prior to running the DPI Wizard. All servers must be behind the same Internet security firewall, in the same Internet domain, and if they are Domino servers, in the same Domino domain.

z z

To run the DPI Wizard, you must be listed as an Administrator in the Server document in the Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF) on the Lotus Domino LDAP server. Caution If you already have a Web SSO configuration on your Domino servers, be sure to read the "Consideration for existing SSO environments" section prior to running the wizard.

61

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

Considerations for existing Web SSO environments

The wizard creates a fresh Web SSO environment for all of the IBM Lotus Domino servers in your
Domino domain that you choose to configure.
If your installation of Lotus Domino is new, or if your existing Lotus Domino and Lotus Sametime servers
have no Web SSO documents in their Domino Directory applications (NAMES.NSF files), no further
action is needed and you are ready to run the wizard.
If you do have one or more existing Web SSO documents, refer to the following checklist to evaluate
whether your site is ready to run the wizard. There is a technote available on the IBM Support Web site
providing instructions for dealing with the existing documents. The technote is:
Title: Domino-Portal Integration Wizard unable to create a working Web Single Sign-On environment
Doc #:1256149
URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21256149

If you have an existing Web SSO document in your Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF), check to see whether it has the name LtpaToken. If all Web SSO documents in your domain have other names, no further action is needed and you are ready to run the wizard. The wizard creates a document with this exact name and will not affect your existing documents with other names. If the document is called LtpaToken, check to see whether there are any copies of it on other Lotus Domino servers in your Lotus Domino domain that have different content (for example, with different servers listed in the document). The Web SSO document should always be created by replication so that its content is identical on all Lotus Domino servers. If you have documents with differing content, you need to correct the configuration before you can run the wizard. For instructions, see the technote. If the document is called LtpaToken and has the same content on all servers, check to see whether it was created by the Lotus Sametime server. A document created by the Sametime server before Web SSO is configured in Lotus Domino cannot be used with the wizard. You need to correct this configuration. For instructions, see the technote. If the document is called LtpaToken, has the same content on all servers, and was not created by Lotus Sametime, check to see whether it was created by a Lotus Domino administrator other than the one who will run the wizard. You need to correct this configuration; for instructions, see the technote. If the document meets all the conditions above, but you do not plan to configure all of the Lotus Domino servers currently listed in it, you need to correct this configuration to list only the servers you plan to use with the wizard. For instructions, see the technote. Otherwise, your environment is probably ready for the wizard; see the technote if you have concerns.

Running the Domino -Portal Integration Wizard

Complete these steps to run the Domino-Portal Integration Wizard.
1. Move the following files from the Domino Directory to the WebSphere Portal server, directory path <PortalServerHome>/config/wizard:

2. From the WebSphere Portal server, enter this command:

z

You can review the log file dpitasks.log generated during the configuration. Dpitasks.log contains the history of the wizard run. If the DPI Wizard fails, use the View Log button to review the content of the log file. Log files are stored on the Portal server at <PortalServerHome>/log. When the wizard completes, the log files are zipped into a file with this naming convention:
DPIDebug_yyyymmdd_hhmm.zip, which can be found at <PortalServerHome>/config/wizard.
You can review this file if necessary.

Feature install defaults to shared directory

In a multi-user installation, installing a feature using the Eclipse update manager (File -> Application -> Install menu sequence in Notes) places that feature in the (Notes install directory )\framework\shared\eclipse directory. For example, if you log in as a non-administrative user, and install a third party feature using the File -> Application -> Install procedure, that feature is installed to (Notes install_dir)\framework\shared\eclipse directory and available to all users in that multi-user installation. All features, when installed by a non-administrative user in a Notes multi-user install, whether they originated in the Notes install kit or are third party features installed from the Eclipse update manager, are installed to the (Notes install_dir)\framework\shared\eclipse directory by default. This default can be overridden for a particular third party feature by the feature's application developer using a colocation-affinity attribute.

If the platform is only ever used by a single user with a single workspace, then the target site for a feature is less important, since all features will always be available. In the multi-user configuration, the target install site is much more important, since some features should be shared among all users of the platform, while others should be private to specific users. To limit the ability of a specific user to install feature W into their user site, the deployer could specify a colocation-affinity attribute with the ID com.ibm.rcp.site.anchor.shared.feature. The resultant site for a deployer would still be the shared site, chosen now not because it is the default, but because the colocation-affinity selects that site. A user attempting to install the feature would have the feature installation fail, since the site specified by the colocation-affinity is not accessible. Information about setting a colocation-affinity value is found in the "Expeditor System Administrators Guide" at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/documentation/expeditor/.

Installing Notes client data directory to network shared drive

In Lotus Notes 8.0.1, a change was made that prevents the client from being installed such that the Notes data directory is stored on a mapped network drive. To resolve this issue, a MSI transform file must be used to change the default behavior of the installer. To create the transform, you must have either Installshield Tuner for Lotus Notes or Orca. InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes can be installed from the IBM Lotus Notes install CD or downloaded from the Passport Advantage website: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/pao_customers.htm Orca can be downloaded from Microsoft's website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255905 Using either program, load the Lotus Notes msi file (Lotus Notes 8.0.1.msi ). Navigate to the LockPermissions table and click on the entry in the table for the DATADIR. Right click on this entry and click "Delete". Save the transform.

Installing NSD as a Windows system service

The Lotus Notes and Domino system diagnostics program, NSD, requires administrator level authority to successfully collect a complete set of system information in the event of a panic or crash. To meet this requirement on systems using a limited user account, or an account that is subject to restricted access, NSD can be installed as a Windows (Win32) system service. When installed as a Win32 service, NSD will execute under the system account at a higher privilege level than the user account. NSD is not installed as a service by default at this time, and the Notes and Domino product installers do not support installing NSD as a service. Instead, the NSD service must be installed, started, stopped or uninstalled using NSD command line options. Windows Vista: Because of the enhanced security features introduced in Windows Vista, NSD must be installed as a system service in order to function properly on any account. Steps for installing and starting the NSD service : NOTE: For all NSD commands listed below, additional path information may be required, unless running from program directory or unless the program directory is on the system path. 1. Open a Windows console window 2. Change the directory to the Notes client program or data directory, whichever contains notes.ini 3. Enter the following command to install the service: nsd -svcinst 4. Enter the following command to start the service: nsd -svcstart 5. Enter the following command to check the status of the service: nsd -svcreport If the install worked, this should show a status of "Running", similar to this: INFO: [(pid ) mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss x M]: Service status (Service report status):

Replace Design fails in multi-user environment

Non-administrative users working in a Notes multi-user environment cannot successfully run "Replace Design" (File - Application - Replace Design) on their Personal Address Book/Contacts NAMES.NSF, or their Mail database, using the Notes 8 template, after installing or upgrading to Notes 8.0.1. The workaround is for the administrative user who performed the 8.0.1 install or upgrade to perform the Replace Design task for each of the users who will be working in the installation's shared directory. To do this in Windows Vista with UAC turned on, Notes must be run "as administrator", which will allow the Replace Design feature to work properly. For related information about directories, see the "Windows Vista: Considerations for Notes install" and "Notes installation directories" release notes. These topics are also present in the Domino 8 Administrator information center available with this 8.0.1 beta release at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp.

Silent install and Notes install manifest "default" setting

The Notes 8.0 silent installation program did not use the Notes install manifest (Notes install media kit's
install.xml file) "default" setting when determining which "installfeature"s to install. This silent install
behavior has been changed in 8.0.1 and later, as below:
Notes clean install (Install Notes 8.0.1 and greater on a system on which a Notes installation does not
currently exist):

z z

If the "SELECTINSTALLFEATURES" property is specified on the command line, use that property to determine which installfeatures (in the install.xml file) should be installed. If "SELECTINSTALLFEATURES" is not specified on command line, use the "default" setting of each installfeature (in the install manifest) to determine if a feature should be installed. In this situation, the only installfeatures that will be installed if "default" is set to "true" are those where the "show" attribute is also set to "true" -- these are the installfeatures that would have appeared in the feature install panel.

Notes upgrade install (Install Notes 8.0.1 and greater on a system in which an upgradeable version of
Notes currently exists):
Note: This maintains current (Notes 8.0) "SELECTINSTALLFEATURES" behavior.
z

If the "SELECTINSTALLFEATURES" property is specified on the command line, use that property to determine which installfeatures should be installed or upgraded. If an installfeature is already installed and is not specified in "SELECTINSTALLFEATURES", remove the feature. If "SELECTINSTALLFEATURES" is not specified on the command line, "installfeature"s that are already installed and are not specified on the command line will be uninstalled.

Silent Notes multi-user install/upgrade command line statement

Prior to Notes 8.0.2 a transform was required for silently installing or upgrading a multi-user Notes install
on Windows. A new command line option has been added in 8.0.2 and 8.5 to remove that requirement.
To perform a Notes silent multi-user install or upgrade on Windows, use the " SETMULTIUSER=1"
command line statement. An example is shown below:
msiexec /i "Lotus Notes 8.0.2.msi" SETMULTIUSER=1 /qb" Note: There is no such switch for the Linux or Mac OS platforms as multi-user is the only possible Notes
installation method; there is no single user Notes install option on those platforms.

Switch User (fast user switching) and Notes installation

The Windows XP operating system introduced the notion of Use Fast User Switching to change credentials but not fully log out and exit all running applications. If these settings are enabled, the system security policy is also altered to provide a more streamlined experience for users. When installing Notes on XP or Vista, the "Switch User" action must not be used to change users before an installation. The install user should fully log off any other users before performing an installation. Leaving other users running on the system may cause permission issues, and could result in an incompletely configured installation.

Migration notes
Domino Server

Migrating Domino 32-bit applications to the 64-bit platform

While both the Domino 64-bit and Domino 32-bit platforms are based on the same code base, and thus maintain the same API and reliability, all Domino applications - including third-party applications - need to be compiled and linked on 64-bit platforms in order to run successfully in the Domino 64-bit environment. Domino 32-bit applications cannot be run in the Domino 64-bit environment, as they are not binary-compatible. However, Domino databases can be copied across 32-bit and 64-bit servers. The effort to port an application from 32-bit to 64-bit might range from trivial to very difficult, depending on how the applications were written and maintained. Even well-written, highly portable applications may have subtle issues, which are mentioned below. The intent of this document, however, is not to provide all the porting guidelines that need to be followed for moving an application from 32-bit to 64-bit. You should refer to the appropriate platform documentation for more in-depth and detailed descriptions on these issues.

Compiler flags/debuggers
Please refer to the appropriate platform compiler flags text file, for example w64_cmp.txt for Windows,
in the SDK for compiler and link flags used when compiling Domino code on native 64-bit platforms.
Lotus uses dbx on AIX 64 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 64 for debugging Domino
applications.
32-bit to 64-bit changes
There are three different popular data models on 64-bit platforms LP64, LLP64, and ILP64. Windows
x64 platforms use the LLP64 data model. Since Domino is a cross-platform application, Lotus uses
LLP64 on Windows x64 and other UNIX 64-bit platforms. Only pointer and long are 64-bits, while LONG is
still maintained as 32-bit, even though native long is 64-bit on UNIX 64-bit platforms. Users should use
LONG to be consistent across Domino platforms.
Lessons learned during Domino 64-bit development
During the migration of Domino from 32-bit to 64-bit native, we have observed the following general
coding issues which are not portable. If you would like to maintain the common code, you should take
care of these issues.

z z

Do not use native data type long as this is 32-bit on 32-bit and 64-bit on 64-bit systems. Use LONG or ULONG, which are 32-bit both on 32-bit and 64-bit Domino platforms. Domino handles are 32-bit on Domino 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. However, Windows handles are 64-bit on 64-bit Windows. Use DHANDLE instead of system HANDLE, which is 32-bit on all 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. Use HANDLE only when you need to use the Windows API, but all Domino API calls should be passed with DHANDLE. Since pointer, int and long are no longer the same size on 64-bit systems, problems may arise depending on how the variables are assigned and used within an application. o o Do not use int and long interchangeably, because of the possible truncation of significant digits. Do not use int to store pointer. This works on 32-bit systems, but fails on 64-bit systems because a 32-bit integer cannot hold a 64-bit pointer. If you need to store a pointer, use something like size_t instead of int. Do not use pointer to store an integer.

o
z

Numeric constants are another issue. Hexadecimal constants are commonly used as masks or specific bit values. A hexadecimal constant without a suffix is defined as an unsigned int if it will fit into 32-bits, and if the high-order bit is turned on. For example, the constant 0xFFFFFFFFL is a signed long. On a 32-bit system, this sets all the bits, but on a 64-bit system, only the lower-order 32-bits are set, resulting in the value of 0x00000000FFFFFFFF. If you want to turn all the bits on, a portable way to do this is to define a signed long constant with a value of -1. This turns all the bits on. On a 32-bit system, the constant 0x80000000 is used to turn on or mask the most significant bit. This is not portable - use shift logic. Do not use int and size_t interchangeably. On 32-bit systems, this would work, but on 64-bit systems, size_t is 64-bit. To make an application portable, always use size_t. Be aware that formatting strings are another source of problems during porting.

Upgrade notes
Lotus Notes

Upgrading a Notes single user install to multi -user

The Notes installation program cannot upgrade an existing Notes single user installation to a later version Notes multi-user installation. However, you can use a manual process, involving uninstall and reinstall, to accomplish this goal. The steps below describe how to upgrade a user from single to multi-user and also move that users data directory and other content from their old to new install. Again, the Notes installer does not support this, and will cancel the multi-user install when it detects the existing single user install. To upgrade a single user install to a higher version multi-user install, do the following: 1. Log in as an administrative user or user with elevated privileges. 2. Back up the users data directory (by default located below the Notes install directory, for example C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\data). 3. Back up the users NOTES.INI file (be default located in the Notes install directory, for example C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes). 4. Back up any third party binaries installed in the Notes binary directory (optional if there are no binaries or if it would be easier to reinstall them). 5. Uninstall Lotus Notes, for example Notes 8.0, using the Notes uninstall procedure. 6. Install Lotus Notes, for example Notes 8.0.1, and when prompted choose a multi-user install. Note: The Notes.msi.w32.prod install media kit supports multi-user. Note: The multi-user install creates a shared data directory under, by default, C:\ProgramData, which contains database templates and other shared data files. This directory is read only for non-administrative users. 7. Run Lotus Notes as the current (administrative) user and respond to all setup prompts. 8. Merge the old NOTES.INI from the backup with the newly installed NOTES.INI to preserve preferences and activate any third party code. 9. Merge the old data directory from the backup with the newly installed data directory. The merge will depend on the versions of the Notes single-user install and multi-user install. 10. Exit Notes and log in as a non-administrative user. 11. Start Notes.

Mail Letterheads and upgrading from previous releases of Notes

In Lotus Notes 8, the Mail Memo (and Reply) forms have a new 'look and feel'. There are also a number of new and redesigned letterheads. In the next release, there will be more redesigned letterheads and some new ones as well. There are a few caveats pertaining to letterheads: 1. Your old letterhead graphic is still part of the template; it will still display in the redesigned forms. The old letterhead design is wider than the new designs, however, and the picture may appear truncated in the Memo header. The only workaround at this time is to choose a different letterhead via Preferences. 2. If you save Preferences for any reason and had previously chosen a letterhead that is not included on the redesigned list above, the letterhead image that displays in the Memo form will change to the "Envelope" image. You will not be able to use your previously-chosen letterhead until a future release, and then only if it is on the list of those to be redesigned. 3. If you choose to use one of the new letterheads, if the recipient of your e-mail is still using a mail template from a previous release, the letterhead area will appear blank.

Notes 7.x upgrade to 8.0.x fails on Vista

In instances where Notes 7.x was installed on a Vista client, which is an unsupported configuration,
upgrade to Notes 8.0.x is not supported with UAC ON.
When you first start Notes 7.x on Vista, the Notes configuration information is written to
C:\Users\<admin>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program files\Lotus\Notes, but the
install data directory is not. The installation directory cannot be changed for the Notes 8.0.x upgrade,
hence the problem. If UAC was OFF when Notes 7.x was installed, you can upgrade to Notes 8.0.x with

Notes/Domino 8 upgrade to JDK (Java Development Kit) 1.5

IMPORTANT: The JavaCompilerTarget=1.5 INI setting is required to take advantage of new language features in JDK 1.5, but may reduce the backwards compatibility of agents . Syntax: JavaCompilerTarget=1.5 Example: JavaCompilerTarget=1.5 Description: This release note refers to the Notes/Domino 8 upgrade to JDK (Java Development Kit) 1.5. This upgrade enhances the Java language with new features, described below. (Note: In the following text, we refer to JDK 1.5, which is also known as JDK 1.5.0 and JDK 5.0.) By default, Notes/Domino 8 utilizes JDK 1.5 to compile and run agents, but it limits language features to maintain backwards compatibility through JDK 1.2. Developers who wish to use JDK 1.5-specific features within their agents must override the default behavior. To override the default behavior, developers must specify the JavaCompilerTarget =1.5 INI setting. It is important to note that enabling 1.5-specific language features via this setting prevents compiled agents from running on Notes/Domino installations prior to 8.0 (and, more generally, JVMs prior to 1.5), regardless of whether the new language features are actually used in the agent's code. Enabling the JDK 1.5 language features via this INI setting therefore introduces the possibility of having an agent recompiled, replicated to a non-JDK-1.5 server, and then fail to run. Additionally, problems can arise editing and saving agents compiled with JavaCompilerTarget =1.5 in Notes/Domino installations without the INI. It is suggested that organizations use a consistent setting across machines. Developers who will not be using JDK 1.5-specific language features are encouraged to keep the default Notes/Domino behavior as it will maximize backward compatibility. INI Setting

The user gains JDK 5.0 functionality with any agent created or edited during that session (such agents will run with new JDK 5.0 features) The user loses backward compatibility with any agent created or edited during that session (such agents will not run on a server with any earlier Domino version, even if they don't use any 5.0 features)

Personal Address Book needs new design upgrade

If you are upgrading to Notes/Domino 8 from a previous version, you must replace the design of your Personal Address Book with the Domino 8 pernames.ntf template. This allows a Notes/Domino 8 user to take full advantage of new features in this area, notably "Edit Locations".

Prevented from upgrading to W 64 kit

Upgrading from an existing W64 kit installation using a W32 kit is not supported. If you mistakenly do so, when you attempt to install the W64 kit to correct this, you will be presented with the error message below: W32 bit version of Domino is currently installed. Upgrading to 64 bit Domino is not supported. Please uninstall the W32 bit Domino version first. and you will be prevented from installing the 64-bit Windows kit. To make it possible to install the W64 kit, you will first need to remove the registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Lotus\Domino.

Rebuild system views in the Domino Directory after upgrading

There are several views in the Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF) which use the Unicode standard collation, and which must be rebuilt immediately after upgrading to Domino 8. The IBM Lotus Domino server knows the collation versions, and automatically rebuilds the view indexes when the server needs to use them. When the Domino server starts, it needs to access two important views, $Users and $ServerAccess. The server stops and waits for these views to rebuild. If the Domino Directory is a large file, rebuilding the two views requires a substantial amount of time. After upgrading to Domino 8, during the first server restart the server may stop while waiting for the views to rebuild. During this time, the server console will display initial information regarding the Domino server. This process has been tested using a Domino Directory containing 17,000 users. Rebuilding (reindexing) the views required approximately 40 minutes during the initial server restart after upgrade. This test was performed on the platforms listed below. Note that the time requirements varied slightly by platform.

Microsoft Windows 2003 server IBM AIX Linux i5/OS

If you upgrade to Domino 8 and your Domino Directory contains 10,000 users or more, plan ahead for view updating. You can use the UPDALL program to update the index offline, and then place it on the server. On Microsoft Windows platforms, enter this command nupdall -r names.nsf For more information about using the UPDALL program, see the Domino Administrator 8 documentation.

Rebuilding of the database design collections

To correct a potential defect, a one time rebuild of the design collection for each database will occur when either the design task or the index task is run on the database. If view events are being logged (LOG_VIEW_EVENTS=1), messages related to this activity may be observed on the console, and in log.nsf. For example: Informational, rebuild view needed - collection object was deleted (reading C:\server\e.nsf default design note Title:'') Informational, rebuilding view - no container or index (reading C:\server\e.nsf default design note Title:'') Informational, rebuilding view - user specified REBUILD (reading C:\server\e.nsf default design note Title:'') where the Title is ''. Databases will still be accessible while this rebuild is happening, but noticeable resource contention may be seen. It may be advantageous to run the index updater against your databases with the server down, where possible.

System i: Enable C/C++ Applications for 64-bit support

ENABLE Applications for 64-bit support on System i A future release of Domino for System i is being evaluated to provide 64-bit pointer and teraspace support. This release note describes what you need to do to enable your Domino C and C++ applications to run with Domino 64-bit and teraspace support on System i. C and C++ Application Requirements Any applications that use the Domino C or C++ API on i5/OS need to be reviewed to make sure they are properly enabled for use with Domino on i5/OS. If your application is not properly enabled, it may not be supported in a multi-version environment and may encounter run-time problems when Domino is changed to use 64-bit pointers. There are two important considerations:

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

Bind to QNOTES/LIBNOTES Some applications incorrectly specify a library of *LIBL when binding to the LIBNOTES service program. This can result in incorrect operation in a multi-versioned Domino environment. Applications must specify library QNOTES when binding to the LIBNOTES service program in order to function correctly in a multi-versioned environment. Enable for Teraspace When 64-bit support for Domino becomes available, Domino for i5/OS will also change to use the i5/OS 64-bit pointer and teraspace support. To ensure proper operation, applications using the Domino C or C++ API must be teraspace-enabled. This can be accomplished by recompiling the application with the teraspace compiler option specified. This is expected to provide significant improvement in Domino i5/OS performance when 64-bit support is introduced.

For more details, see the following documents: Considerations when developing Domino C and C ++ API applications for i 5/OS: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=203&uid=swg21238494 Domino 7 for i5/OS Application Development Guide (Chapter 2 - Application Development

System i: Obsolete SametimeApplets directory

The directory and contents of <notes data>/domino/SametimeApplets is obsolete, and is no longer

shipped with the Domino product. On System i, the SAMETIMEAPPLETS directory is not created in the server's data directory when a new server is configured. However, the directory remains, and is not deleted during the upgrade process (UPDDOMSVR CL command). Customers may elect to remove the obsolete directory SametimeApplets from their existing server's data directory (<notes data>/domino/SametimeApplets).

Domino Web Access, Domino for System i

System i: Sametime customization saved on upgrade

The Domino server's data directory <data dir>/domino/html/sametime/stlinks was added in

releases 6.0.5/6.5.4, and also exists in Domino 7.x and 8.x, but did not exist in 6.5.3 and prior releases.
This directory contains files that enable Sametime integration with Domino Web Access (DWA), and files
in this directory may be customized to support tunneling.
When a Domino server is upgraded, any files in the existing <data
dir>/domino/html/sametime/stlinks directory are copied to a backup directory called <data
dir>/domino/html/sametime/stlinks/stlinks.sav in order to save any potential customized
settings.

during install for servers that are not multi-version capable (Domino 6.0.2 and earlier) after install when the UPDDOMSVR command is run for a multi-version capable server (Domino 6.0.3/6.5.0 and later)

Files will only be copied to the stlinks.sav subdirectory during upgrade if the stlinks.sav directory is empty or does not exist (that is, if an install/upgrade occurs more than once for the same server, the copy of the files to stlinks.sav will only occur during the first install/upgrade). If you make additional customizations to the files in stlinks, be sure to either copy the new
customizations to stlinks.sav or remove all files from stlinks.sav so that a subsequent
install/upgrade will copy the latest files to the backup directory.

Upgrade to Domino 8 sets 1K console logging limit

Upgrading the Domino server to Domino 8 sets the console logging limit to 1K. The new default setting of 1K was introduced to improve product serviceability. Console logging is enabled with a 1K limit without user intervention or notification. This will not occur if you already have an entry in the NOTES.INI file to enable, disable or change the console logging size. To change the default console logging limit to a value other than 1K, use one of the commands listed
below:

Use one of these Notes.ini settings console_log_enabled=n console_log_max_kbytes=desired size For information about the Notes.ini settings, see the topic "NOTES.INI Settings" in the Domino 8 Administrator Help documentation.

After stopping the console log, issue this server command start consolelog

Upgrading a DB2-enabled Domino server

If you have enabled your Domino servers to communicate with DB2, and you have DB2 enabled Notes
databases, you cannot upgrade directly from Domino 7.x to Domino 8. You must first convert your DB2
enabled Notes databases to Notes NSF databases. If you do not convert your databases, you will be
unable to access your data. Complete these steps:
1. Create NSF database replicas of the DB2-enabled Notes databases. Use the Create Replica tool in
the Domino Administrator. Be sure to create the replica on a Domino server configured with NSF as
the default datastore.
2. Disable the Domino 7.x server. 3. Upgrade to Domino 8. 4. Run the server enablement tool to allow the Domino and DB2 server to communicate. 5. Convert the NSF database replicas back to DB2-enabled Notes databases.

After a DB2-enabled Domino server has been upgraded from 7.x to 8.0, it cannot be downgraded back to a 7.x version. When upgrading a DB2-enabled Domino server from 7.x to 8.0, DB2 Universal Database must be upgraded to version 9.1.0. Mixed Domino and DB2 versions are not supported, for example, Domino 7.x and DB2 9.1.0 are not supported together. Domino 8.0 and DB2 8.2.2 are not supported together.

Upgrading mail files with the mail conversion utility

The IBM Lotus Upgrading to Domino documentation is being replaced by IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8 Deployment Guide that contains all upgrade information in one book. Upgrading mail files with the mail conversion utility When you upgrade users' mail files to the Notes 8 mail template or to the Domino Web Access template, you can upgrade one file at a time or use the mail conversion utility to automate upgrading the design. Be sure that you have already upgraded the Domino server that hosts the mail files and the Notes clients that access those files, or users will not be able to use the features in the new design. Upgrade mail files at a time when users won't be accessing them -- for example, early mornings or over a weekend. Notify users that their mail files will be unavailable during the upgrade. You can also use the mail conversion utility to convert a mail design from one language to another language and to migrate from Microsoft Exchange. For more information about using the mail conversion utility for Microsoft Exchange migration, see the topic Migrating from Microsoft Exchange using the mail conversion utility. To use the mail conversion utility Note Before using the mail conversion utility, make sure that all clients are upgraded to Lotus Notes 8. 1. If users have customized their mail files, instruct them to back up these customizations. For example, users can make a copy of their mail file that includes only the database design. This allows users to apply changes they made to their Notes 7 mail file to the new Notes 8 mail template, if necessary. 2. Start the Domino server on which you want to customize mail files. 3. Shut down the router. Enter:

tell router quit and press ENTER to prevent Domino from routing mail to the mail files while they are being upgraded. Mail is stored in MAIL.BOX while you upgrade the mail files. After you upgrade the mail files and load the router task again, the router processes and delivers the mail in MAIL.BOX.

Mail conversion utility tasks
You can use the mail conversion utility to upgrade one or more mail databases. The following table
describes the tasks that the mail conversion utility can perform.
Description Task Upgrading a single mail This example finds the mail database USER.NSF in the \MAIL database subdirectory of the Notes data directory. The mail conversion utility replaces the current mail template -- regardless of which template the mail file uses -- with MAIL8.NTF, the Notes 8 mail template. load convert mail\user.nsf * mail8.ntf Upgrading all mail databases in This example finds all databases located in the \MAIL subdirectory of a directory the Notes data directory that use StdR6Mail, the Notes 6 mail template, and replaces their design template with MAIL8.NTF, the Notes 8 mail template. load convert mail\*.nsf StdR6Mail mail8.ntf Upgrading all mail databases in This example finds all databases located in the \MAIL subdirectory of a directory and in its the Notes data directory and all subdirectories of the \MAIL directory (for subdirectories example, C:\NOTES\DATA\MAIL\GROUP1, C:\NOTES\DATA\MAIL\GROUP2, and C:\NOTES\DATA\MAIL\GROUP3) and upgrades them to the Notes 8 mail template, MAIL8.NTF. Upgrading all mail databases listed in a text file load convert -r mail\*.nsf * mail8.ntf You can create a text file listing databases you want to upgrade and use it with the mail conversion utility to upgrade only those databases. For example, you can create the text file MAILLIST.TXT to list all the mail databases you want to upgrade and save it in the directory C:\TEMP. This example finds all databases listed in MAILLIST.TXT, determines whether the databases use a design template name that matches Mail*, (mail6.ntf for example), and replaces the designs of the matching databases with MAIL8.NTF), the Notes 8 mail template. load convert -f c:\temp\maillist.txt mail*.ntf mail8.ntf

Task Creating a text file that lists all mail databases in a directory

Description You can use the mail conversion utility to create a text file that lists all primary mail databases on the server (it does not list replica mail databases). This example creates a text file, MAILLIST.TXT, in the C:\TEMP directory. MAILLIST.TXT contains a list of primary mail databases on the server but excludes replica mail databases. After you create the text file using this option, you can use the file to upgrade the mail databases listed in it. See "Upgrading all mail databases listed in a text file" in this table. load convert -l c:\temp\maillist.txt If you use a Notes 5 mail file with IMAP, run the mail conversion utility to enable IMAP-specific features in the mail file. This example readies the mail database USER.NSF in the \MAIL subdirectory of the Notes data directory for use with IMAP. load convert -m mail\user.nsf If you use a Notes 6 mail file with IMAP, run the mail conversion utility to enable IMAP-specific features in the mail file. This example readies the mail database USER.NSF in the \MAIL subdirectory of the Notes data directory for use with IMAP. load convert -e mail\user.nsf You can use the mail conversion utility to upgrade custom folder design to the Inbox design. This example upgrades the custom folder design of all mail databases in the \Mail subdirectory of the Notes data directory to the Inbox design.

This bit corresponds to the "Do not allow refresh/replace to modify" option in the design properties. System folders and other design elements from the original template used to create the mail file do not have this bit set, even if the database is set to inherit from design. System folders, such as the Inbox, are not updated if you run the mail conversion utility with the -s argument.

Enabling Notes single sign-on for Windows

When you install Notes you can optionally choose the "Client Single Logon Feature" Notes option. After installation is complete, you must restart the client machine in order for single logon to take effect. After client machine restart, when you restart Notes, a Notes Single Logon Password Synchronization panel appears. Click Yes and, as prompted, enter your Notes password and click OK. A Change Password panel then appears prompting you to enter the new password and re-enter the new password for confirmation. In both password entry fields, enter your Windows system password and then click OK. The single logon feature will now be fully operational. Note that if you want to disable the Notes single login feature, click File -> Security -> User Security and disable the "Login to Notes using your operating system login" setting in the "Your Login and Password Settings" area of the Security panel. After disabling single sign-on, use your Windows password to log in to Notes.

Updating Notes features in 8.0.1

Because Windows directory privileges have been modified for Notes in release 8.0.1 to accommodate security improvements made for Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2, you may experience changes from how feature installation and update behaved in Notes 8.0. For example, when you install or update features using the "File -> Application -> Install" menu sequence, you will now need administrator privileges if you are updating features installed in the Notes\framework directory. However, you will not need administrator privileges if you are working in Notes 8.0.1 and are installing new features, or updating features installed to the workspace\applications directory.

CA key rollover not recommended in large organizations

In Domino 8, administrators can assign a new set of public and private keys to a Domino certificate authority (CA), which are used to certify the keys of OUs, users and servers in that organization. The process of assigning new keys is known as key roll over, and is documented in the Domino Administration Help topic "Certificate authority key rollover." The CA key rollover feature has not been tested in Domino customer deployments, so its use is currently not recommended in these environments. Organizations that want to become familiar with the feature are encouraged to use the feature to roll over the keys of a test CA, and then test users in their environment.

Constraining the file system cache on 64-bit Windows

The file system cache on 64-bit versions of Windows will, by default, attempt to use the majority of system memory, and may thus cause issues for applications running on the platform. This is due in part to the fact that the "default" setting for the file system cache moved from 1GB on 32-bit Windows to 1TB on 64-bit Windows. To address this issue (as well as possible for an application), Lotus has implemented code within Domino which calls the Microsoft API SetSystemFileCacheSize(), in order to set a maximum size. By default, Domino will set this maximum size to 30% of the physical memory on the system. A user can change this setting by setting the notes.ini variable MEM_FSCachePercentMem to a percent number, to indicate the percent of memory. For example, setting MEM_FSCachePercentMem=40 in the notes.ini will cause Domino to set the maximum file system cache size to 40% of the physical memory on the system. Note that the lowest number presently supported is 10%, and the highest number is 95%; numbers outside these limits will be set to the default of 30%. Key notes 1. This setting is system-wide and affects all processes on the system, as it affects the file system cache for the machine 2. This setting must be set identically within each Domino partition on a system. Since it is a global setting, if one partition is 70 and another 30, then the setting of one will get overridden by the other when the second partition is launched 3. This is not an optimal solution as it requires the user to "determine" the best value for the file system cache for their system/load, however, it is the only solution which is presently supported by Microsoft. IBM is actively working with Microsoft to see if a "better" solution can be found to this issue. 4. In order to make this change in the file system cache setting, the user must have the SE_INCREASE_QUOTA_NAME privilege, otherwise the setting of the cache will fail 5. This API requires 64-bit Windows 2003/XP to be at SR2/SP2 or higher, otherwise the API will not be available. 64-bit Windows Vista and 64-bit Windows 2008 both have this API initially We now ship with Domino a tool called "cacheset.exe" which is used to affect these changes for 32 Bit Domino (64 Bit Domino calls the API directly), and which is available to see what the present system settings are for both 32- and 64-bit Domino. This binary is located in the same location as all of the Notes/Domino binaries. This is a 64-bit binary program (since the API requires 64-bit in order to set values greater than 4GB), and is thus invalid to run on 32-bit versions of Windows. On 64-bit Windows systems, running this application with no options (or incorrect flags, or -h, or -?) will result in a help/usage message printing to the command prompt.

Domino for Linux on System z configuration

A detailed reference for the planning, installation, and configuration of Domino for Linux on System z can be found in the following Redbook: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247021.html While written for an earlier Domino release, the planning considerations and task descriptions still apply to this release. Increasing the per -process filehandle limit By default, the Linux kernel limits the number of file descriptors that any one process can open; the default is 1024. This limit includes socket file descriptors that are opened during basic client/server communications, therefore is too restrictive for the Domino process. Do not assume that having fewer than 1024 databases (or files) in the Domino data directory is an indicator of the maximum number of open file descriptors that Domino will require. In order to scale above "tens" of client connections, this default must be overridden by the Linux administrator. The mechanism for overriding the default varies depending on how the Domino server is started. There are 2 basic scenarios: 1. Domino is started from a login session For this case, the default must be overridden by modifying the file /etc/security/limits.conf AND insuring it is respected by the login. Edit /etc/security/limits.conf using root and add or modify the lines: domsrvr soft nofile 20000
domsrvr hard nofile 49152
where "domsrvr" is an example of the user id that will run the Domino server. Specify the UNIX user name in the first column that is the owner of the notesdata directory specified during Domino installation. If more than one Domino partition exists on the same Linux for System z platform, repeat these lines for each user id. The "soft" value specifies the new default file descriptor limit (ulimit -n), and the "hard" value specifies the maximum file descriptor limit that may be set by the user. In order for these limits to be respected following logon, ensure the following line is in the appropriate pam.d login file: session required pam_limits.so

For example, if ssh login is used, this line must appear in /etc/pam.d/sshd
If telnet is used, this line must appear in /etc/pam.d/login
If rlogin is used, this line must appear in /etc/pam.d/rlogin
The user id must login after the above changes are made and saved. 2. Domino is automatically started through /etc/init.d The redbook "IBM Lotus Domino 6.5 for Linux on zSeries Implementation " discusses this procedure in detail (Chapter 9, Section "Automating Domino startup and shutdown"). It is worth noting, however, that /etc/security/limits.conf settings are NOT respected when Domino is automatically started by a /etc/init.d script. Therefore, a line such as the following MUST appear in the "start" section of such a script: ulimit -n 20000 Warning: Always make /etc/security/limits.conf change ( 1. above) in addition to modification of the "start" script.

Note: Mapped_base is only changed where/when needed based on the OS version. Swap configuration for Linux on System z 64-bit native environments, such as SLES9 (64-bit), should be configured with more than 2 Gigabytes of real memory rather than dedicating the memory resource to XPRAM. In these environments, Linux swap should still be configured, however routine swapping is not expected and using disk for the swap region is acceptable.

Domino for Linux on x86 configuration

The following configuration notes apply to Domino for Linux x86 processors: Increasing the per -process filehandle limit By default, the Linux kernel limits the number of file descriptors that any one process can open; the default is 1024. This limit includes socket file descriptors that are opened during basic client/server communications, therefore is too restrictive for the Domino process. Do not assume that having fewer than 1024 databases (or files) in the Domino data directory is an indicator of the maximum number of open file descriptors that Domino will require. In order to scale above "tens" of client connections, this default must be overridden by the Linux administrator. The mechanism for overriding the default varies depending on how the Domino server is started. There are 2 basic scenarios: 1. Domino is started from a login session For this case, the default must be overridden by modifying the file /etc/security/limits.conf AND insuring it is respected by the login. Edit /etc/security/limits.conf using root and add or modify the lines: domsrvr soft nofile 20000
domsrvr hard nofile 49152
where "domsrvr" is an example of the user id that will run the Domino server. Specify the UNIX user name in the first column that is the owner of the notesdata directory specified during Domino installation. If more than one Domino partition exists on the same Linux x86 platform, repeat these lines for each user id. The "soft" value specifies the new default file descriptor limit (ulimit -n), and the "hard" value specifies the maximum file descriptor limit that may be set by the user. In order for these limits to be respected following logon, insure the following line is in the appropriate pam.d login file: session required pam_limits.so

For example, if ssh login is used, this line must appear in /etc/pam.d/sshd
If telnet is used, this line must appear in /etc/pam.d/login
If rlogin is used, this line must appear in /etc/pam.d/rlogin
The user id must login after the above changes are made and saved.

2. Domino is automatically started through /etc/init.d Starting a Domino server automatically when Linux is booted is typically accomplished by executing a script which resides in the /etc/init.d directory (in a "runlevel") . It is worth noting, however, that /etc/security/limits.conf settings are NOT respected when Domino is automatically started by a /etc/init.d script. Therefore, a line such as the following MUST appear in the "start" section of such a script: ulimit -n 20000 Warning: Always make /etc/security/limits.conf change ( 1. above) in addition to modification of the "start" script.

Domino Server

Domino memory pre-allocation configuration

As of Domino 7, there is now code in Domino which, when enabled, will instruct Domino to pre-allocate shared memory at startup, thus preventing the possibility of the server "crashing" with an error of the type "Error attaching to shared memory" or "Error on mapping memory" during extended Domino server operation. This is due to the fact that at Domino startup, Lotus will immediately allocate/map in the maximum amount of useable shared memory, and never again create any more shared memory, thus preventing the possibility of a later process allocating shared memory that other processes cannot map into their address space. The downside of this is that Lotus will always automatically use up this amount of virtual memory for shared memory, and thus will be capped on available local memory based on the addressable memory available to Domino on the operating system. For example, with this code enabled, on Windows, 32-bit Domino will pre-allocate 1.5 GB of shared memory (default setting for Constrained Shared memory, changeable via ConstrainedSHMSizeMB Notes.INI setting) and with an addressable memory of 2 GB (default value for Windows to match default setting of OS, changeable via MEM_AddressableMemSizeMB Notes.INI setting and OS configuration), that only leaves 512MB for local memory. The upside is that running out of memory either in shared or local will not crash the server (or should not), whereas the inability to map shared memory always will. This new code is off by default, and must be enabled by setting MEM_EnablePreAlloc=1 in Notes.INI. In order for this new code to work, Lotus had to enable the sub-allocation of shared memory when pre-allocation is turned on (this can be manually enabled if desired and do not wish to pre-allocate by setting MEM_EnableSubAlloc=1 in Notes.INI; Sub-allocation is only on by default on AIX). With sub-allocation, Lotus creates shared memory as large "segments" and then sub-allocate memory pools out of them. For example, on Windows the size for a "segment" is ~200MB (default setting for sub-allocate Shared Memory segment size, changeable via MEM_SHMSubAllocSize (in bytes) Notes.INI setting) and Lotus will then create memory allocations out of it based on a shared dpool size of 4MB (default setting on Windows, changeable via SHARED_DPOOLSIZE (in bytes) Notes.INI setting). This does limit the maximum single allocation size to the size of a "segment" - in this case ~200MB - but internally Domino makes no memory requests of this size, nor should any API program; an allocation request over this size will fail. There are also some changes/additions to memory variables which are set in the Notes.INI file: 1. As stated previously, the variable MEM_EnableSubAlloc=1 will enable sub-allocation of shared memory. 2. As stated previously, the variable MEM_SHMSubAllocSize=VALUE can be used to override the default setting for the size of a sub-allocated "segment" of shared memory (where VALUE is in bytes, and the default varies by platform). 3. As stated previously, the variable MEM_EnablePreAlloc=1 will enable pre-allocation of shared memory and will also enable sub-allocation as well. (Setting this variable enables ConstrainedSHM and MEM_AddressableMem as well). 4. The variable ConstrainedSHM=1 will now enable the constraining of shared memory only - it will not directly inhibit "addressable" memory as before but will enable MEM_AddressableMem. 5. The variable ConstrainedSHMSizeMB=VALUE can still be used to override the default setting for constrained shared memory (where VALUE is in megabytes, and the default varies by platform). 6. The variable MEM_AddressableMem=1 will enable code to limit the amount of memory seen as "addressable". Without this setting, there is still a default limit in place of 4GB, and with the setting enabled, more realistic values are used.

Running Java "programs" using the Java API for Domino

In order to run a Java "program" or "application" local (as opposed to using "remote" java via NCSO.jar and running the DIIOP server task), which uses the Java API for Domino, you must: 1. Use the Java version which ships with Domino. Only the version which ships with the given version of Domino is supported; there are various reasons for this. First, Lotus only tests with their version of Java, and does no testing with any other version. Second, Lotus has made "modifications" to files within the version of Java (JVM) they ship, such as changes to security policies, or adding additional .jar files, which would not be present in another version of Java. 2. On UNIX, you must invoke the Lotus version of Java via the symbolic link (default location is /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/java). On UNIX, any binary which is run is actually invoked via a startup script. For example, /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/java is a symbolic link to tools/startup, which is in turn a symbolic link to /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/latest/PLATFORM/startup. When invoked in this method, it runs the Lotus startup script, which sets up the environment needed to operate (such as LANG and LIBPATH), and then invokes the binary for which the initial symbol link was named (in this case, java). Failure to follow these rules will result in an unsupported environment; running outside of these rules is unsupported.

Server Fast Restart

When a Domino outage occurs due to a crash, Fault Recovery typically runs NSD on the crashed instance, and then launches a new instance once completed. The Server Fast Restart feature allows a new Domino instance to start directly, while NSD diagnostics are still being run in the background on the crashed Domino server instance. When diagnostics are completed the initial Domino server instance resources are automatically recycled. In the current release, Server Fast Restart is only available on AIX and Solaris versions of the Domino server. How does Server Fast Restart work? All files and connections in use by the initial Domino instance are closed but processes and shared memory remain active until NSD diagnostics are completed. The new instance will be started by a Server Fast Restart process called faultmon. When the initial Domino instance fails, it will send a message to a monitoring program called faultmon. faultmon receives the message over a named pipe, and restarts Domino. faultmon has two options for restarting the new Domino instance; the default option is to start the new Domino instance in the background, while the second option allows the user to specify a script to start the new Domino instance. When Server Fast Restart is enabled, the resources necessary for each Domino instance are kept separate and unique by the use of a key. How to configure Server Fast Restart Server Fast Restart is an extension of Fault Recovery: 1. Enable Fault Recovery in the server document on the basics tab under "Automatic Server Recovery" by selecting the "Automatically Restart Server After Fault/Crash:" option. Server Fast Restart will honor the server document Fault Recovery settings "Cleanup Script / NSD Maximum Execution Time" and "Maximum Fault Limits: N faults within M minutes". 2. To enable Server Fast Restart in the current release the following must be added to the Notes.INI file: SERVER_FAST_RESTART=1 Debug_DisableOSFileLocks=1 3. (Optional) To enable a script to start the new Domino instance, add the following to the Notes.INI file: SERVER_FAST_RESTART_SCRIPT=<absolute path to script including script name> The following is an example script or a restart script: #!/usr/bin/csh -f setenv DISPLAY rome:0.0 /usr/dt/bin/dtterm -e /opt/domino8/lotus/bin/server & Note, the example above requires that xwindows is installed and running. The contents and functionality of the restart shell script are your responsibility. Make sure that your shell script can run independent of the feature to ensure it works. Also make sure that the file permissions allow script execution. Don't wait for a server failure to find out your script does not run. 4. Start Domino as normal; faultmon will be started automatically.

Observations and known behaviors : 1. When a new server is started with Fast Restart enabled the server will report the instance key being used: [180300:00006-00515] 06/26/2007 14:29:41 instance key is FD3CE800 Server Fast Restart is ENABLED,

2. At any time the "show server" command can be issued to review the server's current instance key: [180300:00006-00515] Server Fast Restart: Enabled instance key FD3CE800

3. When using NSD with Server Fast Restart with Domino, it is necessary to use the -key option to specify which instance to collect information about. a. To run NSD to collect data with an example key of FD9AA800, from the Domino data directory: /opt/domino8/lotus/bin/nsd -key FD9AA800 b. To run NSD to terminate Domino with an example key of FD9AA800, from the Domino data directory /opt/domino8/lotus/bin/nsd -kill -key FD9AA800 c. If the Domino instance fails, the fault recovery code will automatically start nsd with the instance key to collect instance specific data. Once nsd has completed data collection, nsd will use the -kill option to terminate the faulted instance. d. In future releases, it maybe possible to run NSD without the -key option to collect data on the current instance. 4. Currently, Server Fast Restart does not work with a server ID with a password. 5. To ensure enough headroom, and to maintain satisfactory performance during a Fast Restart of the new Domino instance while NSD is collecting data, it is recommended to have additional physical memory available. Specifically, if the Domino instance uses up to 4 GB of physical memory, it is recommended to reserve additional memory in the range of 2 - 4 GB for the Fast Restart feature. For an 8 partition system using currently 32 GB of physical memory an additional 4 GB are recommended. 6. Server Fast Restart does not work with the Java Console. RTOA6Y7QXU 7. The Notes.INI setting Debug_DisableOSFileLocks=1 has had limited testing. 8. faultmon output is logged to the IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory in a file called faultmon.log.

SSL Cryptographic Accelerators

Starting with Notes/Domino 7, the SECManipulateSC API function can be used to push the server's RSA keypair from an SSL keyring file onto a cryptographic token that supports PKCS#11. This will cause all private key operations involving the server key to be performed upon the token. This cryptographic token can be a traditional smartcard (which will result in terrible performance issues) or an SSL cryptographic accelerator that provides a PKCS#11 interface. The only cryptographic accelerator that has been tested is the Rainbow CryptoSwift eCommerce Server Accelerator PCI CS400 model 2.2.6a, using the PKCS#11 DLL installed to c:\WINNT\system32\Cryptoki22.dll with the PKCS11_NO_HWCHECK=1 NOTES.INI variable set. In the current release, the server's ID file must be smartcard-enabled in order for the PushKyrKey operation to succeed. Here is some pseudocode to demonstrate the use of SECManipulateSC. As always, real code should check for and handle errors. error = SECManipulateSC (SC_manip_GetVersion, NULLSCMCTX, NULL, &Version, NULL); /* SC_manip_PushKyrKey was added in Version 5 of this interface. If Version is not at least 5, then that operation will fail. */ /* Initialize the PKCS#11 context. */ SCMCTX Context = NULLSCMCTX; error = SECManipulateSC (SC_manip_InitializeContext, &Context,
NULL, NULL, NULL);
/* Set up the server's ID file */ error = SECManipulateSC (SC_manip_EnterIDFile, &Context, NULL, &dwIDLen, ServerIDPath); /* Unlock the smartcard */ error = SECManipulateSC (SC_manip_EnterPIN, &Context, NULL, &dwPINLen, PIN); /* Note -- SC_manip_EnterPIN will use an external authentication path if it exists. If the token doesn't support a protected authentication path, SC_manip_EnterPIN will use the supplied PIN if one exists or generate a prompt if a NULL or zero-length PIN was used. */

System i: JVM property settings on a per Domino server basis

A property in the NOTES.INI file can be used to specify JVM Properties for the Domino server. This property, JavaUserOptionsFile, specifies a text file which contains the properties to add to the JVM. This text file can be either ASCII or EBCDIC and have up to 256 properties specified. Each entry must be in the form of "property=value" and be on a separate line. Any property that can be set with the -D Java option is valid. Domino already provides a way of adjusting the stack sizes, etc. If Domino specifies a property, and that property is also specified in the JavaUserOptionsFile, the JavaUserOptionsFile value is used. For example, if Domino specifies the property "Foo=1", and the JavaUserOptionsFile specifies "Foo=2", the JVM is created with "Foo=2". Note There are currently 2 exceptions to this: java.class.path and java.library.path. Domino will link the values specified in the JavaUserOptionsFile to what Domino is already setting for these two properties. Multiple Domino servers can share the same options file. One use of this feature is easier enablement of Java applications that have native methods. In order for the System.load() or System.loadLibrary() to find the service program, that service program must be in the current path. In this case, the administrator would have to know what directories the Domino for iSeries code uses. With this change, the administrator can set the JavaUserOptionsFile in the NOTES.INI and in the referenced file specify "java.library.path=/QSYS.LIB/PGMAPP.LIB" where PGMAPP.LIB is the library containing the service program loaded by the java application. For example: In the server's NOTES.INI the following line is added: JavaUserOptionsFile=/PGMApp/JvmOptions.properties
The file "/PGMApp/JvmOptions.properties" could have the following: java.library.path=/QSYS.LIB/PGMAPP.LIB
java.class.path=/PGMApp/bin/PGMApp.jar

Cannot uninstall Notes on Linux using application browser

You cannot uninstall Notes from a Linux client using the right-click menu in the Application Browser. For example: 1. Click Computer\More Applications. 2. Right-click "Lotus Notes 8" in New Applications. 3. Click Uninstall. Instead use the Notes uninstall instructions in the Domino 8 Administrator help at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp.

Lotus Notes

Ending the Notes uninstall process before completion

If you end the Notes uninstall program prematurely, you may be prompted to navigate though various error messages, then be prompted to restart your system. After restart, rollback begins. When rollback is complete, some files and empty folders may remain in your installation directory. To avoid this complication, be sure to let the uninstall program run to completion.

Repair utility for Notes features and shortcuts

For Notes shortcuts, including the Lotus Symphony productivity tools, and for installed features resident in the <install_dir> \framework folder, "Repair" is not available using 'Add or Remove Programs' on the Windows control panel. Repair is only available when you re-run setup.exe using the same version of the Notes install media kit that is already installed. However, Repair will not have an effect for provisionable items, such as files resident in the <install_dir> \framework folder. If you run Repair, and then encounter problems uninstalling or reinstalling Lotus Notes, see the "Cleaning a previous Notes 8 installation from your client" release note for related information. Note that this change is specific to Notes standard configuration. If you have installed a Notes basic configuration, Repair continues to be available using Add or Remove Programs on the Windows control panel.

Single logon service still running after uninstall

If you have installed Notes using the "Lotus Notes Single Logon" option you may receive an error message if you uninstall. The message may state that files or services cannot be updated while the system is running. After completing the uninstall and rebooting the client, check the system services. You will likely find that the "Lotus Notes Single Logon" service is still running. You should stop the service manually, using the Service Control Manager control panel applet, and then proceed with the Notes install.

Composite Applications issues

Lotus Notes, Domino Designer

Composite applications only open in Notes client

A composite application can only be opened in the Notes client. In that case, the CA.XML that defines the application is read and any additional features are then provisioned. When a composite application is opened in the Domino Designer client, the CA.XML is NOT read, and provisioning does not occur.

Lotus Notes, Domino Designer

Detect component application events in NSF components

In a composite application, you may sometimes want your application to publish properties when composite-application events occur. If you create custom components in Eclipse, they can respond to many types of events and, in particular, you can write code to trigger when the component becomes visible. This is handy in cases where you have multiple components on tabs, and you would like some other component to display information about data that comes from whichever tab is in the foreground -- if you click a different tab, the supporting information in the other component should change. The NSF component plugin does not directly support this ability. However, a workaround is possible using a NotesTimer event that triggers periodically, to check which view or document has focus, by testing the value of NotesUIWorkspace.CurrentView and/or NotesUIWorkspace.CurrentDocument. This event code can be either in a view or form, or in a separate page or form displayed alongside the "target" view or form, in a frameset. The timer page would be in a very small frame, to save screen space. This approach is demonstrated in the Sales Lead sample, which can be downloaded from the Lotus developerWorks sandbox, and which you can read about at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/notes8-lead-manager/. Alternatively, you can create a custom component in Eclipse to trap any event you like, have it publish a property that you can wire to an action in the NSF application, and this action can publish a requested property. This approach will not, unfortunately, work with the "visibility" events, since we don't have any way as yet to display two components on the same tab, and the Java component can't appear in a frameset. Neither approach is an example of loose coupling, but is the best solution at this time.

Errors may occur when adding local components (for example, Lotus Productivity Editors) to composite applications from the Composite Application Editor Component Palette. This occurs because not all local components are currently supported.

Lotus Notes

Interoperability of built-in view icons

The Notes 8 client includes several additional built-in view icons. These icons are used in the version 8.0
Inbox, and other Mail and Calendar views. Most of the new icons have the same meanings as old icons,
but a new look.
There is an interoperability issue with the version 8.0 mail file that makes it display version 7.x -style ico ns, or no icons, in mail views and folders when used in a mixed-version environment. This occurs when the mail file is accessed on a server that has a different version of Notes code than the client. Specifically:
z z

If the server is version 8.0 and the client is version 7.x (or earlier), some icons are not displayed at all, including the "high importance" indicator. If the server is version 7.x (or earlier) and the client is version 8.0, the 7.x-style icons are displayed instead of the new graphics.

The incompatibility occurs because the view index calculated by the server includes icon numbers based on the server's version, not the client's.

Release Notes

Any version 8.0 mail file accessed locally will display the appropriate icons for the client version you are
using.
Any version 7.x mail file will always display 7.x-style graphics, because it doesn't know about the new
icons.
The updated icons were added and given new numbers, rather than replacing the old icons with the same meanings. This was done to avoid affecting custom applications that use the old icons. Recommendations

Either use local mail files, or do not update mail files to 8.0 before you upgrade clients to 8.0. Update servers before clients (this is the recommended sequence for all upgrades).

Lotus Notes

Mail quota usage and disk space properties values may differ
For users with mail quotas, the mail size displayed in the mail navigator and Quota Information dialog box may differ from the disk space value displayed in the Application Properties box for the mail application. This depends on the quota method the mail server uses to determine the quota value, By file size or By space used. If the latter method is used, then differences between the mail quota usage and disk space values displayed in the client may occur in rare cases involving very large (multi-GB) files.

Lotus Notes

Out-of-office and differences between client and server time

When using the out-of-office feature in your mail file, it is important that the time on a user's client clock is close to the time on the mail server's clock, since some of out-of-office processing is done on the client, and some is done on the server. For example, when using the out-of-office service, if the user manually disables out-of-office before this is scheduled to end, it is the time from the user's client that gets written to the out-of-office profile. The service (running on server) uses this time in its decisions as to whether or not it should run against incoming mail documents. If the server's clock is significantly behind the client's, the service will continue to run (even though the user has disabled it) until the server's clock hits the specified time.

System i: Java heap dump not generated with "classic" JVM

If you choose to use the non-default "classic" JVM using the Notes.INI value JavaUseClassicJVM=1, note that a heap dump (.phd file in the server's data directory) will not be generated if the JVM encounters an out of memory condition. The heap dump will be generated if you use the default JVM, J9. See the "System i: Software requirements" release note for more information.

Domino for System z

System z: zFS filesystem limitation

On System z, Lotus does not recommend using the z/FS aggregate dynamic GROW feature for Domino file systems. z/FS is based on a UNIX file system software product that can take minutes (15 minutes in some cases) to grow a z/FS file system in an aggregate. During the time the z/FS aggregate is grown, all file systems within an aggregate are quiesced, in order to format the expanded part of the file system. This quiesce would be detrimental to Domino, as all disk I/O and client responses would cease during the aggregate GROW process. Lotus also recommends that you continue to monitor the console log for the message "Warning: cannot merge full text index a/notes/data/mtdata/mtstore.ft due to insufficient disk space" and manually grow z/FS files systems as needed during off-peak hours.

Web Services issues

Consuming SOAPENC faults with multi -refs

Java Web service consumer script library methods are unable to fully deserialize thrown provider faults that employ SOAPENC multi-ref's. An empty fault is returned instead. This may be addressed in a future release.

Domino Designer

Moving Web service classes to a Java script library

Domino Designer 8 or later Web service PortType and/or value type classes may now reside in script libraries, either in their entirety or as supertypes in a class hierarchy, however, some restrictions apply when using Java script libraries. First, the properties dialog droplist for specifying the Web service PortType class currently only displays the names of classes explicitly defined in the Web service design element, so the choice of PortType class must be made and the Web service then saved, before attempting to move the named PortType class into a Java script library. This applies to all Web service implementations, whether imported from an external WSDL document or written from scratch. For example, one might: 1. Open a new Web service design element in Designer, and select "Java" as the programming language 2. Use the "Import WSDL" button to import an external WSDL document (which automatically initializes the "PortType class" option in the properties dialog) 3. Use the "New Class" button to add one "Untitled" class to the Web service (just a placeholder for step 13. below) 4. Name and save the Java Web service design element 5. Open a new Java script library design element, and reopen the Web service created in steps 1. through 3. 6. Select a Web service value type (i.e. non-PortType) class imported from step 2 (if any) 7. Select an "Untitled" class in the Java script library and replace its definition with the selected Web service class 8. Add another "Untitled" new class to the Java script library 9. Repeat steps 6. through 8., until all value type classes have been copied over to the Java script library (in reverse order of dependency) 10. Lastly, repeat steps 6. through 8. for the specified Web service "PortType" class itself 11. Select the "Compile Java code with debugging information" option on the Java script library properties dialog, and then name and save the Java script library 12. Use the Web service "Edit Project" button to add the script library to the Web service, by changing the left-hand "Browse" option in the resulting dialog to "Shared Java libraries", and then move the newly-named Java script library to the right-hand list of "Current Web Service Files" 13. Select all the individual classes in the "Current Web Service Files" list that were copied to the script library, and delete them from the project (leaving the "Untitled" class in place to satisfy Designer's Java browser)

Release Notes

14. Press "OK" and return to the Web service programmers pane 15. Save the Web service In the above example, an entire imported Web service has been moved to a Java script library. The "PortType class" entry in the Web service design element properties panel will become blank, however, the service is still valid. Further changes to the contents of the script library, e.g. adding a new method to the previously-designated PortType class (which would then make WSDL regeneration desirable), may not actually trigger WSDL regeneration unless some property panel option is also changed (.e.g. the option to "Include operation name in SOAP action"). To move value type classes only, step 10. above can be omitted. Note, too, that Step 11. is recommended in order to emit the actual PortType method argument names into a generated WSDL document, or to prevent inadvertently triggering WSDL document regeneration when the Web service design element itself is next saved.

Domino Designer

Multi-byte characters in WSDL documents

WSDL documents are Unicode-based XML documents and, as such, may contain characters which are multi-byte in local operating system character sets. Because of file system dependencies, importing WSDL into a Java Web service or Java script library may not succeed for WSDL documents containing such characters.

Domino Designer, Domino Server

Web Service version compatibilities

Web services created using Domino Designer 7.x will run on a Domino 8 or above server with original Domino 7.x behaviors, except for obvious bug fixes. However, the reverse is not supported, for example, a Domino 7.x server cannot support Web services implemented or generated using Domino Designer 8 or above, due to Domino Designer 8 modifications and improvements to mappings between WSDL/XML Schema and Java or LotusScript language constructs. Accordingly, invoking a Designer 8 Web service or requesting its WSDL document will, if hosted on a Domino 7.x server, return one of the following HTML messages: "This version of the Web Service design is not supported on this server" -- from a Java Web service or: "Error 500" "HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - Unknown LotusScript Error." -from a LotusScript Web service Further, opening a Designer 7.x Web service using Designer 8 or above will display the following warning: "The selected Web service has less-advanced features than are supported by this version of Designer. If changes regenerate the WSDL interface, then less-advanced Domino Web Service runtime environments will no longer execute this service".

125

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

Similarly, Domino 7.x Web services saved using Designer 8 will only lose their Domino and Designer 7.x
compatibility if the changes saved using Designer 8 or above cause regeneration of the WSDL interface.
Making changes using Designer 8 or above that regenerate the WSDL interface for a Domino 7.x Web
Service will require confirmation in a dialog box, since the Web service will be permanently upgraded for
Domino 8 or above, and will no longer be compatible with Domino 7.x.
Finally, opening a Designer 8 or above Web service using Designer 7.x will display the following warning: "This Web service has been previously saved in a newer version of Designer. This version of Designer being used will not be able to save the Web service."

Domino Designer, Domino Server

Web Services and Arrays

By default, the WSDL representations generated by Domino Designer 8.x for arrays in a LotusScript or
Java Web service implementation are of the following forms:

XML "literal" form for Web service design elements that have rpc/literal, document/literal, or wrapped SOAP message formats: <complexType name="xxxArray"> <sequence> <element name="elem" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="[array element type]"/> </sequence>
</complexType>

the SOAP-encoded ("SOAPENC") form for Web service design elements that have the rpc/encoded SOAP message format: <complexType name="ArrayOfxxx"> <complexContent> <restriction base="soapenc:Array"> <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="[array element type]"/> </restriction>
</complexContent>
</complexType>

In addition, the XML "literal" form is also generated from Java Web service implementations for what are
commonly known as Java Bean "indexed" properties in a Java Web service value type.
During WSDL importing, XML "literal" arrays are always supported, regardless of SOAP message format. However, Domino Designer 8 no longer imports WSDL descriptions using SOAP-encoded ("SOAPENC") arrays together with "literal" SOAP message formats (i.e. rpc/literal, document/literal, or wrapped).

126

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

The remainder of this Release Note is specific to LotusScript Web services . Empty Arrays Empty arrays in a SOAP request or response (i.e. literal array elements that are completely absent, or elements with a SOAPENC "arrayType" attribute, but no array content children) are now supported in Domino 8 LotusScript Web services by passing uninitialized dynamic arrays to the Domino 8.x provider or consumer. This is a change in behavior from Domino 7.x Web service providers (which still either trigger runtime SOAP faults, or receive arrays of length 1) to increase interoperability and to allow for identifying empty arrays. This change suggests that the receiving Domino 8.x consumer or provider should be implemented to handle LotusScript ErrUninitDynArray errors, in order to detect an empty array as part of normal program array handling. Fixed-Size and Dynamic Arrays Fixed arrays are supported only when they are used within a Type declaration. For example: Type MyType
myArray(2,2) As Long End Type
' fixed-size array

Dynamic arrays are supported only when used within a Class declaration: For example: Class MyClass
myArray() As Long ' dynamic array
End Class
Using arrays in other constructs may cause unpredictable results, including causing server stability problems (see SPR# TCAR6HPUH6). Multidimensional Arrays Serialization of multidimensional SOAP-encoded arrays are not currently supported. Such a serialization results in a single-dimension SOAP array containing all of the LotusScript array's elements, but with an incorrect array-size value in the "arrayType" attribute. (see SPR# TCAR6HPT4L) Support for deserialization of multidimensional SOAP-encoded arrays was added with the 7.0.1 release. There are, however, some limitations:
z

Multidimensional arrays are not supported when the array is a member of a LotusScript "Type" statement, or when the elements in the array are defined with a LotusScript "Type" statement. For such cases, it is suggested that a "Class" construct be used instead. So-called "jagged" arrays are not supported. An multi-dimensional array is considered to be "jagged" when sub-arrays within a given dimension are of varying lengths. For example: <a xsi:type="soapenc:Array" soapenc:arrayType="xsd:int[][2]" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> <item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:int[1]"> <item>100</item> </item> <item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:int[2]"> <item>200</item>
<item>300</item>
</item>
</a>

127

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

The optional "asize" component of the SOAP "arrayType" syntax is not recognized. The length of deserialized arrays will be based solely on the actual number of array elements present in the SOAP message. For example, for an array with the arrayType attribute of "xsd:string[10]", but with 5 or 15 actual items, the length of the array would be 5 or 15 respectively, not 10. The SOAP attributes "position" and "offset", for sparse and partially transmitted arrays, are not supported.

Domino Designer

XML schema mechanisms "include" and "import" are not supported

The XML schema mechanisms "include" and "import" are not supported. That is, any XML schema defined in an imported WSDL document must not refer to any external XML schema documents.

Activities issues
Lotus Notes

Adding large files to an Activity may take a long time

Adding a large file from the file system, or an e-mail with a large file attachment, may take a long period of time, depending on the file size. The method of adding the file can be by either the drag-and-drop action, by the Add to Activity dialog, or by uploading a file using the Add -> File menu item. An extremely large file, 10 megabytes or more, may take as much as 15 minutes or more to add. If the file size exceeds the server's file size limits, which are set by the server administrator, a dialog will eventually pop-up stating the file was not added due to its size. To cancel the addition of the file, open the Progress window (by clicking on the Progress Bar icon in the lower right of the status bar), and click on the red box (Cancel Operation icon) in the Show column that is associated with the action.

Lotus Notes

Group membership and Forward a Link problems

Users who are included in activity membership by means of belonging to a Group may encounter problems using the "Forward a Link" action. On the Windows XP platform, the e-mail may not launch properly for a user who is a member of a group. An "Error processing command line arguments" dialog may appear. On the Vista and Linux platforms, the e-mail may launch, but the names of group members of the activity will not correctly appear in the "To:" section of the e-mail. Instead "null" will appear for each group member name. The workaround for this problem is to manually add the individual names in the e-mail "To:" section and, in the case of WinXP, manually create an e-mail, and drag-and-drop the activity entry into the e-mail, which will create a link to that entry in the e-mail body.

Lotus Notes

Issues when adding several Notes documents to Activities

By default there is a limit of 25 documents that a user can drag-and-drop to the Activities sidebar at one time, set by the ENV_WMCSELECTION_MAXDOCUMENTS variable in the Notes.INI file. Occasionally during this operation a user may receive a message stating "An error occurred while performing drop" which could be due to the amount of documents or content being brought over. If this is the case the aformentioned .INI variable can be decreased to a smaller number to help alleviate the problem.

Lotus Notes

Notes may crash while publishing large mail to Activities

While publishing a large notes document to Activities, Notes may sometimes crash. The crash is usually seen for documents greater than 100 MB. If this crash is seen, the ABORT_IPC_STREAMING_LIMIT variable can be added to the Notes.INI file, with a value less than the size of the document that is causing this crash. The size specified for this variable should be in bytes.

Adding NSL to an existing Notes install removes features

Adding the Notes Single Logon service (NSL) to an existing 8.0 or 8.0.1 install using the following command removes other installed components: setup.exe /s /v"ADDLOCAL=ClientSingleLogon /qb+"

For Notes 8.0, when you restart Notes, the Sametime Java Plug-in is removed, as are any additional features, such as Activities, Composite Application Editor and/or IBM Lotus Symphony. When performing an UPGRADE or a MODIFY install using Silent Install, it is necessary to use the "SELECTINSTALLFEATURES" property to specify install features that are defined in the install manifest on the command line. If you did an initial installation specifying particular features in the "SELECTINSTALLFEATURES" property and you do not specify them on the command line when doing an upgrade or modify install, they will be removed.

My Widgets: Cannot export a locked widget

Exporting a locked widget that contributes to the sidebar produces an error, as seen in the following scenario: 1. Using the Widgets preferences panel, specify a server name and catalog name and click Apply. 2. In the 'categories to install' list, select a category that contains a widget that contributes to the sidebar and click OK. 3. When the widget appears in the My Widgets panel, right click on the widget and select "Email to . . ." An error message appears stating that the action failed.

My Widgets: Live Text and rendered MIME e -mail

In Notes 8.0.1 there is a known issue with how the Notes embedded browser renders MIME e-mail. Live Text is not available for e-mail rendered using the embedded browser. As a workaround, you can disable e-mail rendering with the embedded browser using the Notes.INI file setting below: BrowserRenderDisable=1

My Widgets: Not all Web pages supported for widget creation

The Notes My Widgets feature does not currently support creation of a Web-based widget from every existing Web page. Certain Web pages are known to fail during the widget creation process, primarily those requiring form-based authentication. This can be due to differences and complexities in how Java scripting is done in the target Web page or Web page form, especially in the search fields.

My Widgets: Recognize Live Text in this Document option

There are two aspects of the Recognize All Text in this Document menu option that may be confusing to Notes users. The Recognize All Text in this Document menu option is visible but disabled in the Tools menu while active in a Notes view. Ideally the menu option would not be visible at all, as it is never an option while active in a Notes view. The Recognize All Text in this Document menu option is visible and enabled for all users while active in a Notes document, even if that user has not been permitted, based on either policy or preference settings, to use My Widgets functionality, or if that user has no Live Text instances in the active Notes document. Ideally, a user who is not enabled to use My Widgets functionality, or a user who has no Live Text instances in their active Notes document, would not see this menu option as enabled.

My Widgets: Restricting install of existing widgets types

Changing the Widgets policy to restrict installation of widget types and/or extension points that a user has already installed or configured yields an error message at Notes startup. Consider the following scenario: 1. Install Notes with no policy restrictions on the types of widgets that can be installed. 2. A user adds a Google Gadget to their My Widgets sidebar panel and creates an action for it. 3. The administrator creates a policy for the user, restricting them from installing a Google Gadget and the extension point "org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus" and the policy gets applied to the client. Each time the user starts Notes they will receive an error message because they have a Google Gadget widget and pop-up menu installed, but their policy indicates they cannot install those item types. Note that the widget and pop-up will not be useable.

My Widgets: Sidebar contribution and Close menu option

The following two scenarios affect the Close menu option behavior for widget sidebar contributions. Changing a widget from non-managed to managed (upgrade): 1. Create a widget that contributes to the sidebar. 2. Publish the widget to the catalog. 3. Subscribe to the category that you put the widget in and update from the catalog (Replicate catalog and Update widget menu option). This upgrades the widget from non-managed to managed. The Close menu option is available for the widget. However, the Close menu option should not be available for managed widgets that contribute to the sidebar. When you click on Close in this scenario, an error message appears stating that the action is not enabled. Changing a widget from managed to non -managed (downgrade): 1. Using the Widgets preference panel, enter a server name and catalog name and click Apply. 2. From the categories to install list, select a category that contains a widget that contributes to the sidebar and click OK. 3. When the widget that contributes to the sidebar appears in the My Widgets panel, go to the Widgets preferences panel, set the server name to "" and click OK. This downgrades all managed widgets to non-managed. The Close menu option is not available for the widgets. However the Close menu option should be available for non-managed widgets that contribute to the sidebar. The user will not be able to close the sidebar contribution. As a workaround, the user can right-click on the widget in the My Widgets sidebar panel, select Component Properties, and then de-select "Contribute to sidebar on startup".

My Widgets: Text with multiple components not recognized

The Notes My Widgets feature is supplied with several advanced Live Text recognizers, including names,
addresses, and organizations. Many names are recognized, but known limitations exist.
Names or Notes addresses with three components, or with dashes, may not be recognized. Additionally,
uncommon names, or those with non-ASCII characters, may not be found, therefore, these will not appear
as Live Text in the active Notes document.
Addresses are currently focused on United States-formatted addresses. Even those, however, cover the
most common cases. When in question, the advanced recognizer errs on the side of not underlining.
Note that this is separate from the recognizers you can create using Java regular expressions. You can
supplement the advanced recognizer with your own regular expression-based recognizer.

My Widgets: Toolbar should not appear in standalone Symphony

If you start one of the Lotus Symphony applications outside of Notes, the My Widgets toolbar buttons can be displayed using a "View -> Toolbar -> Widgets" or "Tools -> Widgets" menu sequence. Because My Widgets requires that Notes be running, if you select one of the My Widgets toolbar buttons, you will receive a Notes initialization error. The My Widgets toolbar buttons should not be available unless Notes is running.

My Widgets: View state lost if sidebar collapsed at shutdown

If you have a widget in a Notes sidebar panel, and never expand that sidebar panel (or the entire sidebar) after launching Notes, if you exit and restart Notes, when you expand the sidebar panel for the widget, the opened widget view may be blank. You can close the view using the Close action in the widget sidebar panel and then reopen a new instance in order to resolve the issue.

Toolbar may display incorrect icons after a crash

This issue occurs only rarely, but if Notes crashes, the toolbars may sometimes display an icon that says "No". This is due to a consistency check being run on the bookmarks. Shutting down and re-launching Notes will resolve this issue.

Lotus Notes

Toolbars can experience display issues in new window theme

The toolbars can experience redraw issues when using the Notes client in the new window theme - this can be enabled using File - Preferences - Windows & Themes, and selecting "Launch each document in its own window". For example, when reading a message, the new window is smaller, so if you have enabled additional toolbars there will not be enough room to display the toolbars completely, and overflow buttons will be used. At times these overflow buttons do not display correctly in the new window mode, and sometimes some of the toolbar sections do not display correctly (they may get cutoff). Resize the new window to be a little larger, and the toolbars and overflow buttons will redisplay correctly. Note: This tends to happen more when using your display in 1024x768 mode.

Unexpected feed reader subscription behavior

The Lotus Notes 8 feed reader does not allow you to subscribe to feeds that force a URL redirect. However, if you open a browser and enter the feed URL, record the actual destination URL, and use that destination URL in your feed subscription, the feed subscription will be successful. For example, the following feed may fail if a redirect is required: http://www.computerweekly.com/Feeds/RSS.aspx?cat=135 In this instance, if you put the above address into a Web browser address bar, the URL resolves to the following, which you can then use to subscribe to the feed using the Notes 8 feed reader. http://feeds.reedbusiness.co.uk/9d63ef1e-138d-422d-b543-2db74210f87a/CW360/The%20latest%20E-B usiness.xml Of related note, when you first enter the URL (http://www.computerweekly.com/Feeds/RSS.aspx?cat=135 ), the address is converted correctly, but you may receive an error message stating that the XML page cannot be displayed.

Directory Assistance not taking advantage of cluster failover

A configuration-only directory that points to a remote primary via Directory Assistance will not use cluster failover if the remote primary server becomes unavailable. Consider the following scenario: Server A has a config-only directory and, using Directory Assistance, points to a remote primary directory on Server B. Server B is part of a cluster with servers C and D. If Server B were to become unavailable one might expect cluster failover to occur and have Server C or D take Server B's place as the remote primary for Server A. This failover does not take place and results in Server A being without a remote primary until Server B becomes available again.

Domino Access for Outlook

Single Logon with DAMO

In order for a DAMO user to be able to change their password using Ctrl+Alt+Del, which activates the Windows "Change Password" button, it is necessary to have the Notes Single Logon Service installed. In order to install this service, it is necessary to install the Notes client and enable the Notes Single Logon Service. The user will supply a Notes ID when configuring the Notes client, and this will be the ID that is updated when the user changes their password. When DAMO is installed and the DAMO profile created, the user must supply the path to the Notes ID configured with the Notes client. In this process, the user will be asked if the Notes ID file should be copied to the Domino Access for Outlook data directory for this user. Unless this is also the intended location for the Notes client, the choice should be to NOT copy the ID file. DAMO will 'share' the Notes ID with the Notes client; it will prompt for a password when the Outlook client is launched, and it will use the Notes ID supplied when the DAMO profile was created. The Notes Single Logon Service can only be installed with the Notes client. If the Notes client is uninstalled, the Notes Single Logon Service is also uninstalled.

Release Notes

The new installer validates the group name such that the user must belong to the group being specified. If you successfully installed with specific user and group names in previous Domino versions, it does not necessarily mean that the previously supplied group name will now be valid. If you provide user and group names, and the following message appears: "Group <group name> is not a valid group for user <user name>...," either (1) add the user to the group you are supplying or (2) as that user, type the "id" command and choose a valid group that the user already belongs to.

Existing script.dat files from previous Domino versions cannot be used with the new ISMP installer. Modify a local copy of the file sample unix_response.dat provided with the install kits. More options are now available than in the previous installation's script.dat file. Take note of the following information:

If you select a Setup Type other than CustomServer, do not modify any of the Feature sections, for example, the "License" feature. Use these feature options to customize your installation when using a Setup Type of CustomServer. Do not attempt to record a response file at this time. The installation will hang and the response file will be incomplete. Use the file sample unix_response.dat provided with the install kits.

Installation path cannot contain certain characters

The Notes installation path, and Notes application file names, cannot contain certain special characters.
Along with non-ASCII characters, the following characters are not supported:
;!#&$`,'=^@ Other unsupported characters include the following: \ : * ? " < > and | (pipe) The above may exist currently in a Notes 6.5.x or 7.x installation path, but if upgrading that installation to Notes 8, upgrade will fail as these characters are not currently supported by Notes 8 and Lotus Expeditor. Additionally, on Linux, the Notes installation path cannot contain a space character. The uninstall utility
will not run if the installation path contains one or more spaces.

Installer does not create the registry entries for Notestat

The Domino Server installer for Domino 8 does not create the registry entries for Notestat. Without this

Notes upgrade does not terminate when Notes is running

If you complete Notes installation and, while active in Notes, re-run the installation program, you are informed that the file is in use. You are given the options to retry, ignore or exit. In fact, the program should terminate, as you cannot successfully run the Notes installation program while active in Notes.

Recognizing and stopping a failed network share install process

When installing Notes from a network share, if the network is disabled during the Notes installation process, installation will stop. Installation will not roll back, which is as designed, however when installing on a Linux client no error message appears to indicate that the network has been disabled and that Notes 8 installation has stopped. If the network becomes available, installation will continue. To close the installation window and end the installation process, you must end the installation process manually. If you end the installation process, you may have a partial install and should run the uninstall program before attempting another install.

Rerunning Notes installer to uninstall Lotus Symphony

Rerunning the Notes installer in order to uninstall the Lotus Symphony editors feature is not supported on the Linux platform. When re-running the Notes installer on Linux with the objective of uninstalling the Lotus Symphony feature, the install program will stop running prior to completion. For example, ordinarily after the Lotus Notes client is installed, you can re-run the installer to selectively uninstall one of the optional features, such as the Composite Applications Editor, Lotus Symphony editors, and Activities, by re-running the installer and deselecting the feature that you want to uninstall. However, for the Lotus Symphony feature on Linux, the installer will stop responding when the uninstall process begins. In this situation, if the installer stops responding, you must manually stop the installer process and then run the Notes uninstall program to uninstall Notes. Once you have uninstalled Notes, re-run the Notes installer but do not select to install the Lotus Symphony feature. Workaround To avoid the issue described above, and avoid the need to perform a Notes uninstall and reinstall, turn off the Java JIT compiler prior to performing the task. To disable the JIT and uninstall just the Lotus Symphony editors feature from the existing Notes install, do the following: 1. Locate and edit the jvm.properties file located in the JVM plug-in directory (<install_dir >/rcp/eclipse/plug-ins). 2. Open the jvm.properties file for edit. 3. Locate the following line in the file: vmarg.Xjit=-Xjit:<JIT setting > 4. Change that line to be as below: vmarg.Xjit=-Xint You can now rerun the Notes installer, deselect the Lotus Symphony editors feature, and the installer will successfully uninstall the Lotus Symphony editors feature while leaving the rest of the installed Notes application as-is.

SLED 10: Setting locale for Notes installation

When installing and running Notes on a non-English SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 client, you must set the locale using a specific procedure, or the Notes install screens will not recognize your locale. Set the locale using the Control Center in order to see the correct language screen text during Notes install. If you set the locale using Control Center, the installer picks up the language correctly and displays the screen text correctly during Notes installation. If the locale is set using the "Language during login" page, the Notes installer will not recognize your locale, and will instead display the screen text in English during Notes installation. For example, if the Control Center language is set to zh_TW but the Login language is JA, the Notes installer will use the zh_TW locale setting. For additional information, the Lotus Expeditor team includes the following in their release notes: SLED10 contains several system environment variables, one of which, LC_CTYPE, takes highest precedence by Java when determining the execution locale and character classifications. When setting SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 to execute in non-English environments, such as Spanish, through the log-in panel, the contents of LC_CTYPE are not updated, but other locale related variables such as GDM_LANG and LANG are updated. To update the value of LC_CTYPE, the administrator should use the YaST2 Language Selection tool as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. After logging in as root, click Computer > Control Center. In the left panel, under Groups, click System. In the updated right panel, click Language. Choose the appropriate Primary language for the system. Determine if you want to have the system use an English (US) keyboard layout and click Accept.

Note: If multiple languages will be used on the same system, it may be more appropriate to not set the LC_CTYPE variable at all, and not use the YaST2 Language Selection tool, as LC_CTYPE will inherit the value of LANG or LC_ALL. Also, it is important to note, if YaST is adapting the keyboard layout to English (US), you might need to unset LC_CTYPE in a command prompt and manually execute the installation script (setuplinux.sh) for the installation to occur in a non-English language.

System i: Domino installation may fail with signature violation

When installing Domino 8 for System i, the installation may fail with the following error message (check the job log for the job that issued the RSTLICPGM command): Object has a signature that is no longer valid. This is likely the result of installing Domino to a system that has the more stringent levels of object signature validation enabled for restore operations. The policy to be used for object signature verification during a restore operation (for example, product installation) is controlled by the QVFYOBJRST system value, which has a default value of 3. When installing Domino 8 for System i, the system value QVFYOBJRST must be set to a value of 3 or lower prior to installing Domino. After installation of Domino has completed, the system value may be changed back to a more restrictive setting.

Sametime Preference setting - Communities using HTTP settings

When setting up integrated Sametime within Notes, in the Preferences/Sametime/Server Communities menu item, there is an option for "Use my Internet Explorer HTTP Settings". If you select this, and your Internet Explorer is set up to use a Proxy, Sametime will actually attempt to directly connect instead of using that Proxy for the initial connection. If this fails, then it uses the proxy. Due to the fact that the browser-settings connection is an HTTP tunneling connection, and is quite inefficient, (and because often the browser is set not to use a proxy), it was decided that Sametime clients would try a plain socket connection first. If it fails for some reason, for example if the client is blocked from opening a socket to the server like when using a firewall, then it will connect through the proxy. This was done for reasons of efficiency, and not to load the network itself more than necessary. It has been this way since the first versions of Sametime.

Deleting messages may cause conversations to be out of order

In Notes 8, you can view an entire e-mail conversation by selecting a member document and opening an in-line conversation subview in Inbox or All Documents. In the subview, messages are organized by the hierarchy of how they arrived. For example, all replies are shown under the message to which they are replies, and indented. If you delete a message which has replies to it, the hiearchy of the conversation may appear broken. For example, assume there are two replies to the first e-mail (the 'root'), and each of these replies has more replies. If you delete the first of the two replies, the second one moves up, and the "children" of the first reply appear below the "children" of the second. What you started with: first e-mail (root) reply 1 (<-- this one is deleted) reply -to-reply 1 reply 2 reply -to-reply 2 What now appears: first e-mail (root) reply 2

Problems using Entrust certificates on smartcards

When using pre-loaded certificates and keys stored on smartcards, Notes/Domino follows the "PKCS#11: Conformance Profile Specification" for RSA Asymmetric Client Signing, which specifies a set of attributes that must be in the keys and certificates, and a set of functionality that must be supported by the smartcard and smartcard software. In particular: "A unique non-null CKA_ID value exists and has proper associations for all keys and certificates." Some certificate authorities, including a number of Entrust CAs, may generate certificates and keys that
contain a null (zero-length) CKA_ID attribute. This bug has been reported to Entrust, where it is being
tracked as "SR 1-44960142". Future releases of these Entrust CAs may fix this problem.
Attempting to import these certificates with Notes clients before 7.0.1 will result in an "Illegal null
parameter passed to security function" error.
A workaround has been added to 7.0.1 and 8.0 to find, import, and use these non-compliant certificates
and keys, with several caveats:

The first import attempt will only find and import compliant certificates and keys. Subsequent imports will find and import non-compliant certificates of this type, if any private RSA keys with a null CKA_ID attribute were noticed during the first import attempt. The ID file must be smartcard-enabled; the mode of operation added in 7.0 to allow certificates to be imported and used without first smartcard-enabling the ID file cannot be used with these certificates and keys. The "Lock ID with Key on Smartcard" functionality is not available when using these non-compliant certificates and keys. These non-compliant certificates must be imported in order to be used; the new functionality added to 7.0.2 and this release to allow use of certs without first performing an "Import Internet Certificate from a Smartcard" action is not supported.

Domino 64-bit: Known issues

Interoperability with other IBM products

The Domino 64-bit platform is not intended to inter-operate with the following Lotus extended products:
Lotus Sametime
Lotus QuickPlace
Lotus WorkFlow
Lotus Enterprise Integrator
Known issues
C/C++ applications that were developed on the Domino 32-bit platform need to be ported to 64-bit
applications and built against the 64-bit C/C++ API Toolkits for Domino on the appropriate platform, as
there is no binary compatibility between 32-bit applications and 64-bit applications. Note that the C++
toolkit is not available in this beta release (see below).

The following Domino components are not functional in this beta release:

Running a DIIOP remote application against a 64-bit Domino server installation returns exception errors such as ' Exception in thread "Thread-1" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError'. The DIIOP task is able to run on a 64-bit Domino server, but not all clients using NCSO.jar to that server may be able to successfully create a session with that server. If you are upgrading an existing 32-bit Domino server to the 64-bit platform, you must run updall on all databases. The 64-bit Windows installation will show 100% done before the process has finished. The installation will continue to take some time after the system indicates completion. This is a known issue and is being addressed. The Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) server is not certified to run on 64-bit platforms.

Domino for System i

iNav: CFGDOMSVR with timezone (*sysval) by iNav

A problem occurs when a Domino server has been setup from iNav, and you want to specify *SYSVAL in the TIMEZONE field. When the command is submitted, the process finishes without errors but, if you search the label named "Timezone", this will have a value of 0 (zero) - this means that the process did not get assigned the correct system value. To solve this issue, Lotus recommends that when you set up a Domino server using the Domino Wizard
from iNav, you choose any Timezone value except *SYSVAL, and you will submit the command to be
processed.

Domino for System i

System i: Database name with extended characters not displayed

With i5/OS V5R4 and the HTTP (powered by Apache ) Domino plug-in based on WebSphere 6.0.2.3
(PTF SI19429), the following error is displayed on the Web browser when attempting to load a URL that
contains a Domino database name with double-byte or other characters that are not a-z and 0-9 (for
example, .nsf, .nsf or .nsf).
HTTP Web Server: Unknown Command Exception
[/%E5%88%A0%E9%99%A4.nsf/(/All)?OpenView]
The same URL/Domino database name is successfully served using Domino HTTP via Domino Web
Access.
This issue also occurs with the i5/OS V6R1 plugin.

Domino for System i

System i: HTTP crash when same port used by IPV 4/IPV6

The HTTP task of a server that is configured to use IPV6 will crash if the HTTP port is already in use by another server that is configured to use IPV4. Workaround In the Domino Directory, specify the host name(s) with an IPV4 or IPV6 address, and then enable "Bind to host name." When you start a Domino server that was configured to use all of the available IPv4 addresses on the system (*SYSTEM) and then try to start a Domino server which is configured to use also IPv6, the server with IPv6 will crash. This happens because both try to use the 1352 port and the Domino server with IPv6 also tries to bind to the IPv4 address ports.

168

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

You must solve this issue by correctly assigning and binding specific IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to each Domino server. Install PTF MF42024 for 5722999 V5R4M0 to avoid the Domino server crash, but you will still get "the requested TCP/IP port is in use on this system", which is correct - you must assign IP addresses correctly as mentioned above. This applies to any other port in the same circumstances, for example on port 80 for HTTP, etc.

Web Services issues

Domino Designer

Fault order in generated method signatures

When importing a WSDL document prior to Domino 8.0.1, the order of the WS_FAULT arguments generated into LotusScript Web service method signatures was indeterminate. Starting in Domino 8.0.1, their order now conforms to the corresponding order of <fault> elements for each operation in the associated WSDL document portType. This can have an adverse effect on exisitng code having dependencies on the generated signatures if the WSDL document were to be re-imported in 8.0.1 or later.

Domino Designer

Importing WSDL containing xml :lang types

Element "type" attributes with a value of "xml:lang" in WSDL schema definitions are rejected during WSDL import for lack of a mapping to an implementation type. This may be addressed in a future release.

Domino Designer

Importing WSDL <group> references with maxOccurs attribute

Importing WSDL into a Designer Web service when the WSDL document contains an XML <group>
reference with a maxOccurs attribute will fail with the following message:
"An error occurred while importing the WSDL file: The specified WSDL file is not suitable for source code generation. Please review the contents of the file." An example WSDL fragment that will trigger this error is: <xsd:complexType name="AnotherType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:group ref="tns:AnotherGroup" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> Currently the only known workaround is to remove the "maxOccurs" attribute from the <group> reference element.

Java Web service providers may return null data members .

There is a known problem in Lotus Domino 7.0.3, 8.0, and 8.0.1 where some Java Web service providers may now return class member values as null SOAP response elements. This occurs only if the WSDL document for the Java Web service design element was generated by Lotus Domino Designer, and only for Java class members whose names begin with a lower-case character followed by an upper-case character, for example, "eField". The workaround for this problem is to rename such class members in the Java Web service provider design element either to have an upper-case first character or a lower-case second character ("EField" or "efield"), and then to regenerate the WSDL document by saving the design element. This problem is expected to be addressed in a future release.

Domino Designer

Java Web service value type classes may not generate into WSDL
For a Java Web service, Designer 8 and above will not generate WSDL <types> entries for subclasses of value types that are themselves explicit in the service interface. For example, given the following Web service design: public class BaseValueType { // properties not shown } public class ValueSubType extends BaseValueType { // properties not shown. } public class PortType { public BaseValueType echoValueType( BaseValueType inp) { // implementation not shown } } . . . the Designer-generated WSDL contract will contain an XML complexType for the "BaseValueType" class only, even though "ValueSubType" can legitimately be echoed by the "echoValueType" method shown here. As a workaround, use Designer to generate the WSDL document anyway, then edit it outside Designer to include the missing "ValueSubType" complexType, and reimport the WSDL document for detailed implementation.

Web service interface change may not regenerate WSDL

Modifying a parameter or return type in a LotusScript Web service PortType method may not always regenerate the associated WSDL document, if the change is between some arbitrary data type and its holder class. For example, changing the following LotusScript Web service PortType class method: Function echoString( arg As String ) As String
'...
End Function
...to: Function echoString( arg As STRING_HOLDER ) As String
'...
End Function
is not detected by Designer as a change to the WSDL interface, even though it introduces a second return value for the method, and should cause the WSDL document to be regenerated. To work around this issue, change some known WSDL-regenerating property of the Web service at the same time, for example change an argument name, or toggle the "Include operation name in SOAP action" checkbox on the "Advanced" tab of the Web services properties dialog.

Changes to local database encryption

Beginning in Notes 8.0, users who use local database encryption are either required or encouraged to use the "Strong" encryption level. If users choose File - Security - User Security - Notes Data, and "Simple" or "Medium" is the default encryption level for local databases, users can continue to use that level of encryption on new databases and replicas they create. However, these users are encouraged to switch to "Strong" encryption instead. If the default encryption level is "Strong" or no encryption, users can use only "Strong" encryption when creating new databases and replicas. If a database has "Simple" or "Medium" encryption enabled, its encryption level can be changed to any of the three levels. If a database has "Strong" encryption enabled or no encryption enabled, only "Strong" encryption can be specified for it. The Help topic on this feature is out-of-date and should instead be replaced with the following text. Restricting access to local databases When you enable encryption for a local database to which you have Manager access, IBM Lotus Notes encrypts the database using your public key from your User ID. You are the only one who can then decrypt the database because you have the corresponding private key in your User ID. Nobody else's User ID can open the database. Note If you use a disk compression utility, databases using medium or strong encryption will not use significantly less disk space. To change the default encryption settings for new local databases or replicas You can set Notes to leave new local databases or replicas unencrypted when you create them. You can also change the default encryption setting. 1. 2. 3. Click File > Security > User Security. Macintosh OS X users : Notes > Security > User Security. Click Notes Data > Databases. To turn off encryption for new local databases, select "Do not locally encrypt." Or Change the encryption setting, under "Locally encrypt using..." by choosing one of the following options:

To encrypt existing local databases 1. Open the local database. 2. Click File > Application > Properties. 3. Click the "Database Basics" tab, and then click the "Encryption Settings" button. 4. Select "Locally encrypt this database using" and select an encryption level. Strong is recommended and may be the only encryption level available. 5. (Optional) By default, your User ID is listed as the only User ID that can open the database when
encrypted. If you would rather give a different person access to the database, click "For," then
choose an address book and person from the "Select name" dialog box.
Caution If you choose a different user to have access to the database, you will lose your access to the database. Note You may need to compact the database in order to fully remove the previous encryption settings.

Domino Blog: Use Create -> Hotspot to add links to blog posts
In Lotus Notes 8.0.1, the Domino Blog application now uses the standard Lotus Notes 'Hotspot' functionality for embedding clickable Web links in rich text fields. This is accomplished by the following steps: 1. In the Body field of the Blog application 'New Post' form, select the text that will be turned into a clickable link. 2. From the top-level menu select "Create -> Hotspot -> Link Hotspot" 3. In the dialog that is presented, add the URL to the 'URL' field and click the 'X' on the top right corner to close the dialog. The result is that the selected text is now a clickable link that will open the target URL in the browser that is set in the Notes Preferences. The link text will now appear in blue. When rendered in the Blog web client, these links will open in the same page by default. Note: In earlier releases, links were added by using pulldown menus in the Blog application 'New Post' form. As of release 8.0.1, this has been replaced by the standard Lotus Notes 'Hotspot' functionality.

Enabling Java applets in Notes - correction

In the topic "Enablng Java applets in Notes, the menu path to java applet security settings and to open user preferences was incorrect. Use the information provided here instead. Enabling Java applets in Notes IBM Lotus Notes lets you run Java applets -- simple programs added to many Web pages to create interesting effects. To run a Java applet, the Web page's server must access your system, which can present a security problem. You can give access to Java applets on a server-by-server basis. This method of access control works well in a corporate intranet where you want to give open access to internal servers while limiting access to external servers. Notes

Creating a server ID for the DB 2 Access server

The Domino 8.0 Administrator documentation contains the topic "Creating a server ID for the DB2 Access server." The second paragraph in that topic has been modified. The first two paragraphs of the topic are shown here. The revision is in the second paragraph. Creating a server ID for the DB 2 Access server Note You only need to register a server and create a new server ID if you will be using the DB2 Access server. If you will be using DB2 Access Views (DAVs) and enabling the IBM(R) Lotus(R) Domino(TM) server to communicate with IBM(R) DB2 Universal Database(TM) Enterprise Server Edition, you need to perform this procedure and you also need to install and use the DB2 Access server. Before installing a DB2 Access server on the DB2 server, you need a server ID saved to a file. Use this server ID when you install the DB2 Access server. When you are registering a new server, be sure to select the DB2 Server access check box to create a server ID specifically for the DB2 Access server. Be sure to make note of the server ID path and file name, because you are required to enter this information when installing the DB2 Access server. If you elect to install the DB2 Access server, you must create a new server ID file for it. Do not use the same server ID file for the Domino server and the DB2 Access server, as this will cause improper operation.

Creating criteria for mail archiving

The Domino 8 Administrator documentation contains the topic "Creating criteria for mail archiving." The topic has been updated to reflect minor changes to the user interface. The revised topic is as follows: Creating criteria for mail archiving You use an Archive Criteria policy settings document to define sets of criteria to use when archiving an IBM(R) Lotus(R) Notes(R) user's mail documents. You create an Archive Criteria policy settings document from within an Archive policy settings document. After you create archive criteria, you can use it in one or more archive policy settings documents. When you specify archive criteria, you determine what to do with old documents in a user's mail file. Do you archive them (copy them to an archive database) or just delete them? If you archive them, you determine how to "clean up" the copies of the archived mail documents that remain the user's mail file. And finally, you define what an old document is.

187

Mail file criteria answers these questions:

z z z

How should documents be archived? Archiving can be a combination of copying old documents to an archive database and then performing clean-up tasks on the users mail file, or just deleting them How should documents be cleaned up? Once documents have been copied to an archive database, you can either delete the copies that remain in the user's mail file, or reduce the size of the document. Which documents should be cleaned up? You provide a definition of an "old document" by specifying age criteria, and then applying that age criteria either to all documents or all documents in specified folders.

Specifying the name and location for the Archive database By default, the archive mail database is stored in the directory archive, located in the data directory. Archive is the default name for the archive directory. The default name format for a user's archive database file is a_xxxx.nsf, where a_ is the prefix and xxxx is the name of the mail database. The name of the archive database is based on a specified number of characters (the default is 50) from the user's mail file name. For example, for the end user John Smith, whose mail file is jsmith.nsf, the archive database name is a_jsmith.nsf. To create archive criteria policy settings 1. From the IBM(R) Lotus(R) Domino(TM) Administrator, select the People & Groups tab, and then open the Settings view. 2. Do one:
z z

Select the Archive policy settings document for which you want to create archive criteria settings, and then click "Edit Settings." Click "Add Settings" and then select Archiving to create a new Archive policy settings document.

3. Select the Selection Criteria tab, and then click "New Criteria." 4. Provide the following information on the Basics tab. Field Name Action Enter a name that identifies the archive criteria. When you add criteria to an archive policy settings document, this is the name that appears in the selection box. This name also appears in the user's mail folder outline under Actions - Archive. Enter a description of the criteria. Do one: Check to enable this archive criteria. Uncheck if you are creating archive criteria to use later. 5. For "How should documents be archived?," choose one:

DB2 Access View and Query View usage notes

One of the chief benefits of using Domino on DB2 is to leverage the power of SQL to supply Domino views with data that can be both tailored with each open of the view using user context, or with any number of criteria to filter and format results. With SQL you can also access one Domino database while browsing a Query View in another. However, to change the default behavior opening a document, for example via mouse double-click or "Enter", some programming must be done to modify the database context. With IBM Lotus Domino 8, new navigational columns are now available with DB2 Access Views. These are very important in the establishment of alternate database contexts. The method where that is controlled (invoked at double-click) is the QueryOpenDocument method in the Query View. This method is passed in a Notesuiview object, which is its link with the entry in the Query View being opened. Within the Notesuiview is the "CaretCategory" property. This corresponds to the first sortable column in the Query View. So while there are other ways to locate the current entry, it is currently a best practice to build a value in the Query View which allows for establishment of database and noteid context. In the Query View, for instance, one would construct a hidden key:

... which does double duty as first sort column and provider of database context. If it is desired to display the collating values separately, other columns can follow the first one, where values are supplied from the same SQL columns or expressions but renamed for the view using the SQL "AS" clause (see below). Such additional columns can be used to sort or categorize entries as in traditional Domino view processing. The Query View SQL must build values that enable CaretCategory values such as SELECT doctype || ';;;' || char(posteddate) || ';;;' || char(decimal(numwidgets,7,2) || ';;;' || #DBPATH || ';;;' || char(decimal(#NOTEID,8)) AS TYPE, <col 2>, <col 3> .... where the value must be a character value but which includes all data necessary for the Domino view to properly sort entries. When using either date or numeric values in the select clause, the SQL char() function serves as the method of transforming those values into characters yet preserving order. In the case of numeric values, the decimal() function is required to keep numeric values at a uniform length and precision. Alternately, the special #UNID column could be used in the SELECT clause above instead of #NOTEID as part of the CaretCategory value and that would support opening the document from any available replica.

Once the CaretCategory values are in hand in the QueryOpenDocument method, those values can be parsed (using delimiters - like the ';;;' above - or some other means) to get the database context in which to open the document.

Difference between Load convert and Replace design

This release note explains the difference between Load convert and Replace design. The Convert task was created specifically for converting mail files to a new design. As such, it does some mail-specific operations, like converting categories to folders. It is also a server task that can be run against many databases at one time. Replace Design is a menu selection from the client, used to replace the design of any database. It simply replaces the current design elements with the ones from the template you select.

Composite Application Editor Help

Lotus Notes, Domino Designer

Components can be associated with a portlet

In this release, you can associate a component with an existing portlet. This can give you the ability to add an Eclipse view with the option to choose the portlet to be used. When you add NSF or RCP (Eclipse) components to your palette when editing Portal-hosted applications, the Composite Application Editor creates a placeholder component on your Home Portal server so that you can add that component to the application on Portal. It also retrieves the WSDL file for the component and stores that in the new placeholder component on Portal so that any properties and actions in the component are available for wiring on Portal. When you are using RCP components, the Composite Application Editor makes new placeholders based on a "CAEPlaceholder" portlet. By default, when you are using NSF components, the Composite Application Editor will create new placeholders based on the Domino Application Portlet. This allows you to display your NSF content if you plan to use/view your applications in a browser client.

Editor will always use the CAEPlaceholder portlet. The following procedures demonstrate how to
manually set this preference depending on whether you want to associate a component with a
placeholder portlet or a Domino Application Portlet (DAP).

Select "Actions" from the menu bar 7. Select "Edit Application." 8. In the Composite Application Editor, right-click on your component palette. 9. Choose to add an NSF component to the palette. 10. View the Advanced Component Properties of this component by right-clicking on the component and choosing Advanced Component Properties. If the component is associated with the placeholder portlet, you will only see a few properties listed. 11. Drag this component onto the application in the Composite Application Editor. 12. Launch wiring and ensure you can wire up with this component. Make sure all wires also fire in the Composite Application Editor and in the client. 13. Open up the application in Portal and you should not see Domino Application Portlet (DAP) mentioned on the component. Associating a component with a Domino Application Portlet (DAP) 1. Edit the plugin_customization.ini file in a text editor (located in framework\rcp) 2. Remove the following line to the bottom of the INI file: com.ibm.rcp.aaf.portal/DontUseDAP=true 3.

Links to NSF components can be calculated at runtime

Two new Advanced Component Properties for composite application components have been added to
assist you in calculating links (that is, NotesURLs) to NSF components in composite applications. The
two properties are the following:

z z

ComputedNotesURL ("com.ibm.notes.ComputedNotesURL") ProcessOnlyOnUpdate ("com.ibm.notes.ProcessOnlyOnUpdate")

You may use these properties in application situations such as the following:
z

When links (that is, NotesURLs) to NSF components in a composite application change between moving components from a development environment to a production environment. As a result, the composite application might not function correctly when it is deployed to your production environment. When a dynamic NotesURL is needed to customize a composite application at runtime based on the role or rights of the user.

The two properties are the following:

z z

ComputedNotesURL ("com.ibm.notes.ComputedNotesURL") ProcessOnlyOnUpdate ("com.ibm.notes.ProcessOnlyOnUpdate")

Using ComputedNotesURL ("com.ibm.notes.ComputedNotesURL ") Set this preference in the Advanced Component Properties page of the Composite Application Editor. as
a value that is a macro of @functions that resolve to a Notes URL that will be added as a NotesURL
preference to the cached CA.XML.
To access this property do the following: 1. Open a composite application for editing in the Composite Application Editor. 2. Right-click the component name in the CAE navigation pane and select Edit-Component-Component Properties from the context menu. 3. Click the Advanced... button on the Edit Component Properties dialog. 4. Select the "com.ibm.notes.ComputedNotesURL" property from the Advanced Component Properties list. 5. Click Edit to edit the property value as needed. 6. Enter one of the values described below as the property value. 7. Click OK to save the changes. Entering @text("Notes://europa/85257299006C18B2/CompanyDetail?OpenFrameset") as the property
value results in the addition of this preference to the cache:
<preference name="notesurl"> <base:value
value="Notes://europa/85257299006C18B2/CompanyDetail?OpenFrameset"
xsi:type="base:String"/>
</preference> Entering a value of @GetProfileField("URL Profile"\; "NotesURL") demonstrates how to
access a profile document.

Using ProcessOnlyOnUpdate ("com.ibm.notes.ProcessOnlyOnUpdate ") This preference is also set in the Advanced Component Properties page of the Composite Application Editor as a value of true or false. A value of true (default) would indicate that the CA XML cache will be recomputed only when the CA XML design note is updated. A value of false would indicate that the CA.XML cache will be recomputed each time it is requested. By default CA XML cache is only updated when the CA.XML design note is modified. It is worth noting that moving the Composite Application CA.XML to a new location (such as to deploy the composite application) will result in a new CA XML cache for the user. The preference "page level access" will override the preference "com.ibm.notes.ProcessOnlyOnUpdate." For example if "pagelevel access" is turned on, the CA.XML is always returned even if the setting for "com.ibm.notes.ProcessOnlyOnUpdate" is set to true. To access this property do the following: 1. While editing a composite application in the Composite Application Editor, right click the component you wish to associate this property with. You can do the same thing by selecting the component in the Composite Application Editor design pane and selecting Edit-Component-Component Properties from the context menu. 2. Click the Advanced... button on the Component Properties dialog. 3. Select the "com.ibm.notes.ProcessOnlyOnUpdate" property from the Advanced Component Properties list. 4. Click Edit to edit the property value as needed. This example would result in the cached application definition being refreshed each time the application is opened.

Agents property - usage and examples revised

Agents property Read-only. All of the agents in a database. Defined in NotesDatabase Data type Array of NotesAgent objects Syntax To get: notesAgentArray = notesDatabase.Agents Usage Each element in the array is a NotesAgent object. If the script runs on the workstation, the array includes shared agents and private agents that belong to the current user. If the script runs on a server, the array includes only shared agents.

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

To set the value of an individual NotesAgent object, you need to access the array elements individually. For example, to get the first element in the array returned from the NotesDatabase object db, you could do the following: Dim agent as NotesAgent Set agent = db.Agents( 0 ) The database must be open to use this property. To test whether the database contains agents, use IsEmpty or IsArray functions, as shown in the examples. Language cross -reference Agents in Java Database class Examples: Agents property 1. This action script prints the name of each agent in the current database. Since the script runs on a workstation, it prints the name of shared agents, as well as the names of the current user's private agents, if any. Sub Click(Source As Button)

Changes to the "Instant Spell Check" feature

Instant (in-line) spell checking has been improved for 8.0.1. It is now possible to enable or disable instant spell checking on a per-field basis. Here are the steps to accomplish this in Domino Designer and the Notes Client. In the Designer client
z

In the Field properties dialog box, on the "Field Info" tab, there is an option "Enable instant spell check" for 'Text', 'Rich Text' and 'Rich Text Lite' fields. This will enable the instant spell checking feature for the selected field when the "Enable instant spell check" option is checked; it will disable the instant spell check for the selected field when "Enable instant spell check" is unchecked. Open Domino Designer, and create a Form. Next, create a Text field, Rich Text field, or Rich Text Lite field, and open the Field Properties Dialog Box. Click the "Field Info" tab, and you will see an option to "Enable instant spell check". Check this option to enable instant spell checking for the field, or uncheck this box to disable instant spell checking.

When creating a document using a form that has Text, Rich Text, and Rich Text Lite fields, place a cursor in each field. Use "Tool -> Instant Spell Check" to enable the instant spell check separately for each field, or uncheck the "Tool -> Instant Spell Check" option to disable instant spell checking. Open a database which contains a form with a Text, Rich Text, or Rich Text Lite field, and place the cursor in the field. Select "Tools -> Instant Spell Check" to enable Instant Spell Check in that Field. To verify it has been enabled, you can select the "Tools", and see the menu option for "Instant Spell Check" now has a checkmark on the left hand side.

ConvertToZone method - usage notes

The following usage notes apply to the ConvertToZone method of both the Notes DateTime class and the Java DateTime class. These changes also affect the ZoneTime property. These changes do not affect the GMTTime and the LocalTime properties. This method has no effect on an invalid TimeZone (because the DateTime object lacks the date or the time). TimeZone continues to return 0. Caution This method uses the daylight saving time rules of the zone being converted from, not the zone being converted to. Daylight saving time is a world-wide practice of decreasing energy consumption by adjusting clocks forward an hour, changing the offset from GMT. The TimeZone property indicates the base offset from GMT. For example, standard time in New York City is GMT -5, but when daylight savings is in effect, New York City is GMT -4.

Designing forms - Changes do not effect existing forms

Changing a form (for example, by adding a field) will not change documents previously created with that form until they have been edited and saved, either manually or programmatically by an agent. Removing a field from a form does not remove the value of that field from previously created documents. When adding a computed field or field with a default value, it may appear to have been added to the document, because opening the document will show a value in that field, but unless the document is edited and saved, the field will have no value, and no value is displayed in views referencing that field.

title

Text. Optional. If this argument is supplied, the text is appended to "Folders containing: " in the title of the dialog box. If this argument is not supplied, the title of the dialog box is "Folders containing current document". Usage This command does not work on the Web. This command works only in a design element containing an embedded outline with the "Maintain folder unread information" property selected. Elsewhere in the design a document must be selected. Otherwise, the error "Cannot execute the specified command" occurs. The dialog box displays the names of the folders containing the document. The user can open a folder or remove the document from a folder. The dialog box is replaced by the message box "Document does not exist in any of the folders" if that is the case. Examples: @Command([DiscoverFolders ]) This formula can be used to pass the subject field of a note in the mail database, which is then displayed in the title of the dialogue box. For example, if the current document has a subject of "Status of your project" then the following formula will title the dialogue box "Folders containing: Status of your project". @Command([DiscoverFolders];subject); Note that the formula displays the folders which contain the current document, not folders which contain documents having the same subject as the current document.

Memory management for Java objects

When Java is used to create an object, two objects are created: a Java object and Notes back-end (C++)
object. If the Java object is set to "null", flagging it for garbage collection, the C++ object is not affected.
To have both the Java object and the C++ object marked for garbage collection, you must use the recycle
method.
If objects are created from within a Java agent, all created objects (both Java and C++) are destroyed when the agent ends. However, you should consider using the recycle method for long running agents or agents that create a large number of objects. When using servlets, JSPs or stand-alone Java applications, the recycle method must be used to remove the back-end objects. Recycling a parent, such as a document, will recycle all of its children, such as items. Recycling the session will recycle every object that has been used from it.

Oracle connectivity with Linux

Oracle Connectivity This section provides information about setting up connectivity to an Oracle server. Requirements for Oracle Connectivity Connectivity software requirements depend on the operating system platform and the Oracle version you are using. Oracle connectivity on Solaris relies on the Oracle client library found in ORACLE_HOME/lib or ORACLE_HOME/lib32. If you are using LEI and an Oracle 9 or 10 client, you must create a symbolic link in ORACLE_HOME/lib32 using the following command: ln -s libclntsh.so.9.0 libclntsh.so.8.0 ln -s libclntsh.so.10.0 libclntsh.so.8.0 Note For best result, Lotus Software recommends matching your Oracle client and server versions. Note The Oracle 8 connector works with the Oracle 9 client on all platforms except Linux. To use the Oracle 8 connecter with Oracle 9 servers in a Linux environment, install the Oracle 8.1.7.4 client, which can access Oracle 9 servers.

Usage If an item does not exist, it is created. If the item is of a different data type, the existing item will be deleted and a new item of the new data type created. The item values are immediately written to the documents on the server. You do not have to use the Save method of NotesDocument after StampAllMulti. However, any documents modified by your script must be saved before calling StampAllMulti. This method does not modify existing NotesDocument objects. Documents must be retrieved again to see the changes. If you do not have the proper access to modify one or more of the documents in the view entry collection, this method will return ERR_NOTES_STAMP_FAILED. Only those documents you are able to modify will be stamped.

Troubleshooting DAVs - Data Exception error

If you insert the value -2.225E-308 in a Notes number field that is mapped to a double in a DAV, and you are using AIX, you will see the following DB2 Data Exception error on the Domino console: SQL0302N The value of a host variable in the EXECUTE or OPEN statement is too large for its corresponding use. SQLSTATE=22003 Inserting the same value to the same field from a DB2 CLP will not cause an error. This is a limitation of the double-precision floating-point number representation. To resolve this error, ensure that negative numbers fall into the range -1.79769E+308 to -2.225E-307, and positive numbers fall into the range 2.225E-308 to 1.79769E+308.

Troubleshooting DAVs - Inserting multiple value dates

Inserting multivalue date or date ranges in a DAV When inserting or updating multivalue date or date range fields using a DAV, you must use the full DB2 timestamp, such as yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.subsec or 2005-12-24-08.06.30.123456. Failure to do so will result in the last valid timestamp being repeated in the place of the invalid timestamp. No error is generated.

Troubleshooting DAVs - unknown form : Message

The Mail8 template renamed the Memo form, which is now the Message form. If a DAV is created based on the Notes 8 mail template, using the Message form, and notes exist that have no forms associated with them, an "Access View Definition references an unknown form : Message" error will result. Note: This error will not occur if the DAV uses All Forms, or if all notes have a form associated with them. To resolve the error, copy and save the DAV. Rerun Create/Update in DB2.

Using the Message programming model with a web service

The "Advanced" tab of the Web service design element properties dialog includes a "Programming model" option with two choices, "RPC" and "Message". The default for a new or newly-imported Web service is always "RPC", which refers to the commonly-used service interface wherein one or more PortType class operations are defined with unique signatures of data input arguments and return type. The data type definitions are typically drawn either from a set of implementation language types mapped to the built-in WSDL XML Schema types, and/or from user-defined classes mapped to <types> constructs defined in the associated WSDL document. However, the Web service designer may choose the alternative, "Message" programming model, instead, which affords greater flexibility in what data passes in and out of any service method, in exchange for potentially greater implementation effort to understand the incoming message and construct a response. This is because the message programming model requires fixed service method signatures comprised of a single DOM-tree input argument representing the incoming request message, and a returned response of like type. The DOM-tree data type can handily represent the XML content of any SOAP message body, in exchange for the program labor of working with the DOM-tree data type. In order to enable a message-model LotusScript Web service, then, each public PortType method signature must conform to this prototype: Function myMethodName (doc As NotesDOMDocumentNode ) As NotesDOMDocumentNode and for Java, to this prototype: public org.w3c.dom.Document myMethodName (org.w3c.dom.Document doc) In addition, the "Message" choice for the Advanced properties "Programming model" option must be selected.

246

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

If more than one method is defined for the PortType class, then any Web service request will be routed to the correct method provided that the incoming SOAP message supplies the method name as the element name of the child element of the SOAP envelope "Body", e.g: <SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns:myMethodName xmlns:ns="urn:myMethodNamespace">
<[message payload here]>
...
</[end of message payload]/>
</ns:myMethodName> </SOAP-ENV:Body> With this approach, LotusScript Web service methods can receive and send NotesDOMDocumentNode backend class objects, and Java Web service methods can receive and send org.w3c.dom.Document objects. Each class or interface has its defined set of methods for manipulating the DOM-tree content. Note, too, that the WSDL document generated by Domino Designer for this type of service is valid WSDL, although consumers of message-model Web services are not necessarily WSDL-driven.

Web Service Consumer PortType class

In the Web Service Provider feature, first available in Release 7.0, the PortType class is where the application developer enters their code that executes to process a web service request. In the Web Service Consumer feature, first available in Release 8.0, the PortType class is completely generated, based on the WSDL document. It contains methods for all the operations described in the imported WSDL document. The WSDL generated PortType class derives from this PortTypeBase class. The PortTypeBase class provides a set of common operations that are useful in writing client-side applications for web services. The PortTypeBase class in LotusScript provides the following functions: Public Class PortTypeBase Public Sub SetEndpoint(url as String) Public Sub SetTimeout(ms as Long) Public Sub SetCredentials(username As String, password As String) Public Function GetLastFault() As WS_FAULT Public Sub New() Private Service as NotesWebServiceEngine End Class Java provides the following functions through the lotus .domino.types.PortTypeBase interface : public interface PortTypeBase { public void setTimeout(int ms); public int getTimeout(); public final static int NOTES_SSL_LOCATION = 0;

Set ADDPERSON = Service.Invoke("ADDPERSON", P)
End Function
Function ADDPART(P As PART_n0) As RESPONSE_n0 Set ADDPART = Service.Invoke("ADDPART", P) End Function End Class This class can be used in an agent or wherever LotusScript code can execute in Notes and in Domino and it provides the mechanism for calling the web service that was defined by the WSDL document. It is not advisable to modify the generated code in the PortType class. Changing the generated code can cause failures. For example, to make a call to the web service as shown above, you'd use the following LotusScript code: Dim port as new AddOperations_n0 Dim p as new Person_n0 Dim result as Response_n0 ' update data in 'p' set result = call port.AddPerson(p) ' result is the response from the AddPerson web service request. The same WSDL document generates the following interface that uses the PortTypeBase interface: package proto;
public interface UpdateOperations extends lotus.domino.types.PortTypeBase,
java.rmi.Remote {
public proto.PERSON UPDATEPERSON(proto.PERSON p) throws java.rmi.RemoteException; public proto.PART UPDATEPART(proto.PART p) throws java.rmi.RemoteException; } To use this generated code in a Java agent, you'd write this Java code: Service1Locator locator = new Service1Locator();
AddOperations port = locator.getAddBindingService();
PERSON p = new PERSON(); // and populate object
RESPONSE result = port.ADDPERSON(p);

@AbstractSimple - revised syntax and return value

@AbstractSimple Creates a short abstract of a text or rich text field. Simpler and more efficient than using @Abstract. Syntax @AbstractSimple( bodyFields ) Parameters

bodyFields
Text or text list. Any number of fields containing the text to abstract. May be text or rich text fields. If Notes/Domino cannot locate a field by name, it uses the string literal instead. Enclose each field name in quotes and separate multiple names with colons: "Sales":"Figures". Caution Rich text fields are not part of a document until saved. If you want @AbstractSimple to work on additions and changes to the current document, you must first save and then recalculate the document.

Return value

abstractedText
Text or text list. In the case of a single field being specified, a text value is returned. If the field has less than 100 bytes, the entire field is returned. If the first two paragraphs in the field contain no more than 100 bytes, the text value contains the first two paragraphs with newlines and tabs converted to spaces. Otherwise, the text value contains no more than 124 bytes up to the first completed word after the 99th byte with newlines and tabs converted to spaces. If no word is completed between the 100th and 124th bytes, the first 100 bytes are returned. A paragraph is defined by a terminating newline character. For rich text fields all formatting is removed. If a list of field names is supplied, then a text list is returned, with each list element containing the abstracted version of the corresponding field in the field list. If a field is of an invalid type, or can't be found, the string returned is the name of the field that was passed into @AbstractSimple. Note If the behavior of @Abstract is desired, where the result is a single, space-separated, string of abstracted results, apply @Implode to the result of @AbstractSimple Language cross -reference Abstract method in LotusScript NotesItem class See also: @Abstract Examples: @AbstractSimple 1.

@Adjust usage note

@Adjust Usage The arguments are applied from right to left. For instance, @Adjust([2/2/2006]; 0; 2; 28; 0; 0; 0) returns [5/2/2006], not [4/30/2006] as you might expect. This is because @Adjust first adds 28 days, making [3/2/2006], then adds two months, making [5/2/2006]. To first add two months, then add 28 days, use @Adjust twice, for instance: @Adjust(@Adjust([02/02/2006]; 0; 2; 0; 0; 0; 0); 0; 0; 28; 0; 0; 0)

Delegate access to Contacts

You can delegate access to your contacts when you delegate access to your Mail, Calendar, To Do and Notebook. Use this topic to set delegation preferences instead of the one in the Domino Web Access Help. Set Delegation Preferences Note Delegation Preferences are not supported in the Lite mode of Domino Web Access. You can let specified people open your mail file and read your messages, Calendar, Contacts and Notebook entries, and To Do items. You can also let them send, edit (including adding a follow-up flag) and delete messages, create and delete Calendar or Contacts entries, Notebook entries, and To Do items. If someone else manages your calendar, you can automatically forward your Calendar notices, whether or not that person or group has any access to your mail. People who have access to your mail file cannot read encrypted mail that you receive, and cannot send signed or encrypted mail for you, even though the mail file contains your user ID. Additionally, you cannot read encrypted messages they create for you unless your user ID contains the encryption key used to encrypt the messages. By default, no one except the owner of the mail file has access. Note There may times when you cannot save your delegation preferences. This happens when an agent, scheduled to run every 60 minutes on the IBM Lotus Domino server, has not yet processed your request. After the process runs, the names to which you delegated access are saved in your Delegation Preferences. To delegate access to your mail 1. Click Preferences. 2. Click Delegation, and then click Mail, Calendar. 3. Click Add Person or Group . 4. Select Access is for everyone or click the down arrow to choose a group or an individual from a list. 5.

Domino Web Access Lite mode

Domino Web Access 8.0.1 includes a lite mode that gives you access to your Mail and Contacts in a streamlined user interface. The lite mode is ideal for reading and responding to mail quickly and efficiently. It is optimized for performance in bandwidth-constrained environments. Full Calendar features are not available in lite mode, but the Day-At-A-Glance calendar opens when you click Sidebar. And if you need to complete tasks that are not supported in lite mode, you can easily switch to the full mode by clicking Full. Tasks performed in either mode are reflected in both, so there is never a time when the two modes are out of synch with one another.

System i: C and C++ Application requirements

Any applications that use the Domino C or C++ API on i5/OS need to be reviewed to make sure they are
properly enabled for use with Domino on i5/OS.
There are two important considerations:
z

Bind to QNOTES/LIBNOTES Some applications incorrectly specify a library of *LIBL when binding to the LIBNOTES service program. This can result in incorrect operation in a multi-versioned Domino environment. Applications must specify library QNOTES when binding to the LIBNOTES service program in order to function correctly in a multi-versioned environment. Enable for Teraspace When 64-bit support for Domino becomes available, Domino for i5/OS will also change to use the i5/OS 64-bit pointer and teraspace support. To ensure proper operation, applications using the Domino C or C++ API must be teraspace-enabled. This can be accomplished by recompiling the application with the teraspace compiler option specified. This is expected to provide significant improvement in Domino i5/OS performance when 64-bit support is introduced.

For more details, see the following documents: Considerations when developing Domino C and C ++ API applications for i 5/OS: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=203&uid=swg21238494 Domino 7 for i5/OS Application Development Guide (Chapter 2 - Application Development

System i: CFG/CHGDOMSVR TIMEZONE and DAYSAVTIME keywords

The CL commands CFGDOMSVR and CHGDOMSVR that are used to configure Domino servers on System i are changed to incorporate support for the system value QTIMZON that was introduced in V5R3. CFGDOMSVR The Configure Domino Server (CFGDOMSVR) CL command is used to set up either a first Domino server or an additional Domino server. It is also used to remove an existing Domino server. CHGDOMSVR The Change Domino Server (CHGDOMSVR) CL command changes the configuration of an existing Domino server. You can use this command to change specific characteristics or to add features that were not included in the original server configuration. The TIMEZONE keyword of the CFGDOMSVR command is modified to accept a new value *SYSVAL which is the new default value. TIMEZONE-Specifies the time zone to be used by the Domino server. The possible values are: *SYSVAL Specify the Timezone for this Domino Server based on QTIMZON system value. time-zone Specify a new value for the time zone (GMT, ZW1, et. al.). The DAYSAVTIME keyword of the CFGDOMSVR command is modified to accept a new value *TIMEZONE. DAYSAVETIME Specifies whether the server time stamp should be adjusted for Daylight Savings Time. This value does not affect the actual system time. The possible values are: *YES Adjust the time stamp for Daylight Savings Time. *NO Do not adjust the time stamp for Daylight Savings Time. *TIMEZONE Adjust the time stamp for Daylight Savings Time according to the Timezone system value. Note: *TIMEZONE cannot be specified here if *SYSVAL is not specified on the TIMEZONE parameter Similar values are accepted on the CHGDOMSVR CL command, along with the *SAME keyword. Refer to each command's Help Text for additional information and usage details.

The United States and parts of Canada are extending the period of Daylight Savings Time (DST), beginning in 2007. From 2007 onward, DST will commence on the second Sunday in March (three weeks earlier than previously), and end on the first Sunday in November (a one week extension). For detailed information about these changes, and how they affect Notes and Domino, please see technote #21247972 at the following URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21247972 In addition, you can refer to the i5/OS Web page for additional information that pertains to DST on iSeries and System i. http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/domino/dst2007.html

System i: Generating an NSD

A Domino enhancement as of release 8.0.1 to the RUNDOMCMD CL command allows an NSD to be generated that captures the typical NSD data. For example, your System i Domino server "Widget1" is unresponsive, and you want to generate an NSD for support to examine. Use the following i5 RUNDOMCMD CL command to generate the NSD: RUNDOMCMD SERVER(Widget1) CMD(CALL QNOTES/NSD)

This command will generate a NSD under the IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT subdirectory of the Domino data directory for server Widget1. Issuing this i5 command can be useful in hang or semaphore timeout conditions, where you want to be certain that an NSD is created. This capability is only supported for Domino 8.0.1 (and later) servers.

Additional dictionary files may be obtained from the dictions.exe file of the Domino 8 for System i physical CD or Web kit. For more information, including instructions on how to install, refer to Chapter 20 of the Installing and Managing Domino 8 for System i Help documentation, in the topic "Language Dictionary Files". In prior releases, customers were directed to obtain the additional dictionaries from the Notes client CD. However, with Domino 8, the server dictionary support has been upgraded, and is no longer consistent with the client dictionary versions.

System i: Parallel save capability with BRMS and i 5/OS V5R4

BRMS has extended the parallel save and restore capability to the Integrated File System (IFS) with i5/OS V5R4. Domino users of BRMS may want to investigate whether this new capability will help to minimize their Domino backup window. Use the Work with Backup Control Groups (WRKCTLGBRM) CL command and specify option 8 (Change Attributes) for the QLTSSVR (or your own) control group to change the Parallel device resources from "*NONE" to '2', or more, parallel devices. If parallel backup is selected, then BRMS is required on the restore operation. Customers who run concurrent backups with Domino servers may already be minimizing the save time, if the servers consume approximately the same storage. For more information on this feature, refer to the BRMS Web page at the following URL: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/service/brms/domino.html

System i: System Value QLOGOUTPUT

V5R4 introduced a new system value - QLOGOUTPUT (Job Log output). This affects Domino servers /
jobs as follows:

Each Domino server runs in a separate subsystem. The subsystem name is specified on the CFGDOMSVR command; the default is DOMINOxx, where xx is a number. The WRKDOMSVR command shows the subsystem name. Information for Subsystem is stored in the library QUSRNOTES Each subsystem has a Job Description (JOBD) used when submitting jobs to a system
z z

z z

To view JOBD: Enter the command WRKJOBD JOBD(QUSRNOTES/*ALL) One of the parameter of JOBD is Job log output , Keyword LOGOUTPUT:
z

When a job completes, one of three actions occur that affects how the job log is created. The following are values of the LOGOUTPUT parameter:
z z z

The job log server produces the job log: (*JOBLOGSVR) The job itself produces the job log; if the job cannot produce its own job log, the job log will be produced by a job log server. (*JOBEND) The job log is not produced; the job log remains in pending until it is removed. (*PND)

z z

If LOGOUTPUT is set to *SYSVAL, the job uses the job log output value that is specified in the Job log output (QLOGOUTPUT) system value. The shipped value for the Job log output (QLOGOUTPUT) system value is *JOBEND; the recommended value is *JOBLOGSVR.

System i: Using iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web

Overview
System i Navigator is the user interface of choice for many System i administrators, system operators,
and end users. This Windows-based GUI, which is a part of the System i Access for Windows product,
gives administrators an easy-to-use, Windows-based interface for managing key System i resources.
However, in order to use System i Navigator, you must have the System i Access for Windows product
installed, both on the System i and your PC. What if you are home or away from your primary PC at work,
and you would like to perform some quick System i Navigator task. Maybe you need to check the system
operator's message queue to make sure there are no messages needing a response before work can
continue. Or you might need to check the status of a particular job that is currently running, or make sure
a key piece of printer output is moved to the top of its print queue so it can be printed immediately. Well,
with Domino 8 and i5/OS V5R4 or a later release, you can perform these and many other tasks, even
though you are away from your main work PC! All you need is a browser and access to the desired
System i system.
This browser support is provided with a feature called System i Navigator tasks on the Web. System i
Navigator tasks on the Web allows you to perform a subset of System i Navigator tasks through an
Internet Web browser. The interface may look slightly different, but the tasks you can perform are the
same as when using System i Navigator Windows interface.
Administration of Domino servers from System i Navigator tasks on the Web is supported with i5/OS
V5R4 or V6R1. This feature, allows you to perform most of the same tasks that you can perform when
using the Domino plug-in for System i Navigator Windows interface, but from a browser.
The System i Navigator Web interface for Domino differs from the System i Navigator Windows interface
for Domino in that it is shipped with i5/OS, whereas the System i Navigator Windows interface for
Domino is shipped as a System i Navigator plug-in as part of the Domino for System i product. Therefore,
there is no need for any update operation to run on the client in order to get a newer version of the System
i Navigator Web interface for Domino. Whenever you update to a new i5/OS level, you get the latest
version of the System i Navigator Web interface for Domino.
The Domino Plugin version that is provided with i5/OS V5R4 and V6R1 is Domino release 8.0.

ENDTCPSVR *HTTP HTTPSVR(*ADMIN)
ENDTCPSVR *DDM
ENDTCPSVR *DIRSVR

Note: You do not need the Domino product installed on the same i5 system that has the System i Navigator tasks for the Web support installed. From any i5 system that has the Web support installed, Domino servers on any i5 system in the network can be managed. Also, any supported release of Domino for i5/OS or System i can be administered using this Web interface. Before users can access System i Navigator tasks on the Web, the system administrator needs to modify the HTTP Administration server configuration to automatically start the system application server instance. This special "system instance" must be configured and started before the System i Navigator Web application can function. To do this, the system administrator needs to perform these tasks: 1. Start the HTTP Administration server if it is not already started
> STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(*ADMIN)
2. Go to the HTTP Administration Web page: http://<system>:2001/HTTPAdmin (where <system> is the System i host name). 3. Click on the "Manage" tab 4. Click on the "HTTP Servers" tab, then select "ADMIN - Apache" from the Server list 5. Click on "General Server Configuration" in the left pane of the current page 6. Specify "Yes" for "Start the system application server instance when the 'Admin' server is started" 7. Specify "Yes" for "Stop the system application server instance when the 'Admin' server is stopped " 8. Click the "Apply" button 9. Stop, then start the HTTP Administration server so these configuration changes take effect

285

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8.0.2

Release Notes

Once this "one time" configuration change is made to the HTTP Administration server, and the server is restarted, users will be able to access System i Navigator tasks on the Web. Note: For V6R1 systems you do not need to modify the HTTP Administration server configuration manually because the system application server instance would be started automatically when the 'Admin' server is started. Note: For more information on how to set up this Web environment on your system, see the IBM iSeries V5R4 Information Center : http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?lang=en or the System i V6R1 Information Center: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/ (available after i5/OS V6R1 is generally available) . After you have set up System i Navigator tasks on the Web, all you need on your PC is a Web browser that connects to the Internet and you can begin working with the Domino tasks by clicking View All Tasks and selecting the Network tab. Also, you do not need to worry about learning a new interface for these Web tasks. The exact same code and user interface that are used within System i Navigator on the client are also used on the Web. So, for example, if you're already familiar with the System i Navigator for Windows panel that appears when you select the "properties" action of a Domino server, you will see the exact same interface when you select "properties" of a Domino server on the Web. You can also create your own URL that points to the Domino tasks on the Web, as well as other System i Navigator tasks on the Web, by using the URL Advisor. To use the URL Advisor, visit the following URL from a Web browser: http://<hostA>:<port>/webnav/WnServlet?task=home where: <hostA> is the System i host name. <port> is the HTTP port number set up with System i Navigator Web interface. Click Create a URL... to create the URL for the Domino tasks on the Web. Working with the Domino tasks on the Web Not all Domino operations that are available with the System i Navigator Windows interface are allowed in the Web interface. The following table shows the Domino operations that can be performed using the Web interface to Domino servers that reside in the network, and the special authorities needed for the user profile performing them: Operations Special Authorities needed Steps to follow To change the properties of a Domino server: 1.

Activities sidebar enhancements

No new features or enhancements have been introduced in the Activities sidebar with version 8.0.2. This release note describes the new or enhanced features, and documentation corrections made with Lotus Notes 8.0.1 that also apply to Lotus Notes 8.0.2. Note: The Activities sidebar for Notes 8.0.2 requires a Lotus Connections Server, version 1.0.1 or 1.0.2. You can use a version 2.0 server as well, but some of the new features of Lotus Connections 2.0, such as custom fields, will not be available. New features that were introduced in Lotus Notes 8.0.1 Creating an activity from a template
A template is a prototype of an activity. You can use a template to capture the required steps, contacts,
resources, and tools used to complete a common process. You must use the Web client version of
Activities to create a template. But after a template is created, you can specify that you would like to
create an activity from the template when you create an activity from the Notes sidebar. This capability is
useful if you are creating an activity for a project that uses a process that has already been captured in a
template.
To specify that you would like to create an activity from an existing template, complete the following steps: 1. From the Activities sidebar toolbar, click New to start an activity. 2. Name the activity. 3. Click the Display button, and then select Template Options. 4. Select a template from the list of templates.
Note: There will be no templates available in this list until they are created. Use the Web client version of
Activities to create templates.

5. Optional: If you want to use the tags set up in the template, select the Use tags from this template check box. 6. Optional: If you want to add the same people listed as members of the template to this activity, select the Use members from this template check box. 7. Fill out the remaining fields as desired, and then click Save to create the activity from the selected template. Configuring the type of authentication used to access the Activities server The Activities preferences page has a new Advanced button that you can click to configure advanced server settings. You can use the Advanced Server Settings dialog box to select the authentication type to use when communicating with the Activities server. By default, Lotus Notes authenticates with the Activities server using form based authentication, which means it establishes trust by sending a Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) token to identify itself. If your administrator has implemented an alternate authentication mechanism in the Lotus Connections environment in which the Activities server is running, you may be instructed to edit the advanced server settings. The authentication type options are as follows:
z z z

Java Form (default) -- Communicates using form based authentication. This option is
implemented by default.
Tivoli Access Manager Form -- Communicates using form based authentication on Tivoli Access Manager. Do not select this option unless you are advised to do so by your administrator. Basic Authentication -- Communicates using basic authentication, which establishes trust by sending a user name and password. Do not select this option unless you are advised to do so by your administrator.

To change the authentication type used to communicate with the Activities server, complete the following steps: 1. From the Notes menu, select File > Preferences. 2. Click Activities to open the Activities Settings page. 3. Click the Advanced button. 4. Select an authentication type option, and then click OK. 5. Click OK to save your changes and close the Preferences window. Enhancements that were introduced in Lotus Notes 8.0.1 Using arrow keys to open and close the slideout preview box To quickly learn about an activity or entry, you can display its slideout preview box. The preview box contains the activity or entry name, purpose, and other basic information. Previously, to open the slideout preview box, you clicked the activity or entry once, and after reading it, closed it by clicking the ESC key. You can now click the LEFT arrow to to open the slideout preview box, and click the RIGHT arrow key to close it. Using the arrow keys allows you to navigate the sidebar more quickly. Formatting entries You can use the toolbar to format the text in any type of activity entry, from messages to ToDo items, and you can run the spell checking tool on the entry before saving it. Forwarding activities or entries to colleagues If you see an activity or a new entry in an activity that you think may be of interest to a colleague, you can send a link to the activity or entry in an e-mail message to that colleague. The menu item you click to send the link has changed from Send Notification to Forward a Link. To send a link to a colleague in 8.0.1, complete the following step:
z

Right-click the activity or entry, and then select Forward a Link. This opens a new memo with a hypertext link to the activity or entry. You can then address the e-mail to your colleague and then send it.
