Domino Global Workbench

Domino Global WorkBench is a fully integrated component of the Domino Designer development environment. Domino
Global WorkBench enables Web application developers to quickly and cost-effectively deliver multilingual Web and
intranet applications.

1. Documentation

Please refer to online Help for more detailed information about the specifics of using Domino Global
WorkBench 6. 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.

2. Overview of features

Please refer to the "What's new in IBM Lotus Notes 7" topic in Help for information about features that are
new in Notes 7.

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 98®, Windows XP®, Windows 2000® or Windows NT® Release 4 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 databases 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 databases, 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 7 CD:

Open the Apps\DGW folder and run Setup.exe.

To install after downloading from the Web:

You will have one file, DGW700.ZIP. Download this file to a temporary directory on your hard disk. Unpack it
then run SETUP.EXE which will begin the installation process.

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

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.)

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 - Database - Replace Design.

6. Multilingual databases and browsers

The default language of a multilingual database will only be observed if:

1. You choose a language for your browser that does not exist in the multilingual database, and
2. No other languages that are used in your multilingual database are present in the language listbox
of your Web browser.

7. Language switching and browsers

When using Netscape or Internet Explorer to view multilingual databases 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 databases
Performance issues have been noted when synchronizing large numbers of new documents ( > 1,000 ) where
the databases are located on a server other than that on which the synchronizer server task is running. It is
best to locate databases 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 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

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 database) version of the script will execute in the built database.

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 database 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 database

Documents in a projects database 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 database, 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 databases, with all keywords and values grouped in help
documents in one of the databases. Formulas referencing the database with the keywords and values will
only continue to work if they contain the correct name of the database file they are calling. When localizing,
you can either translate the database name in the calling formulas, in which case you must take care to
rename the built database to the translated name, or you can leave the database 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.

Monotype WorldType fonts

TM
Monotype WorldType fonts support Unicode-based display of multilingual text. Five different fonts are available, each
tuned to a different multilingual environment. Subsetting the fonts-based character set usage significantly reduces the
size of a font, thus improving performance. Information about Monotype's Unicode fonts can be found at
http://www.monotype.com.

The following fonts are included in a self extracting file located in the \APPS\FONTS directory:
� MTSANS_W.TTF -- Monotype Sans WT (True Type) version 5.02 Covers the WGL4 character set. This font is
suitable for use with most uses of the Latin alphabet (including all diacritical marks), as well as Greek, Cyrillic,
Slavic, Turkish, Arabic and Hebrew languages.
� MTSANS_JOUTLINE.TTF -- Monotype Sans WT J (True Type) Covers the WGL4 character and the Japanese
language with some support for other Asian languages.
� MTSANS_KOUTLINE.TTF -- Monotype Sans WT K (True Type) Covers the WGL4 character set and the Korean
language with some support for other Asian languages.

8
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

� MTSANS_SOUTLINE.TTF -- Monotype Sans WT SC (True Type) Covers the WGL4 character set and Simplified
Chinese with some support for other Asian languages.
� MTSANS_TOUTLINE.TTF -- Monotype Sans WT TC (True Type) Covers the WGL4 character set and Traditional
Chinese with some support for other Asian languages.

These fonts are designed for Windows use only. Execute the self extracting file FONTS.EXE in the \APPS\FONTS
directory on the CD-ROM to decompress the contents to a temporary directory on your hard drive. The fonts can
then be installed using the normal operating system procedure for installing fonts:
On Windows systems:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Open the Fonts folder.
3. Choose File - Install New Font.
4. Specify the drive and directory of the temporary directory containing one the above fonts.
5. Normally only one of the above fonts should then be selected for installation.

You may want to make a WorldType font your default Multilingual Font in Notes; open the User Preferences -> Basics
panel and set the default Multilingual font in the "Default Fonts" dialog.

SwiftFile Mail Assistant 2.0

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
SwiftFile’s 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 7 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
database.

International Support
SwiftFile supports all languages supported by Lotus Notes. Multiple languages can be mixed within the same
database and even within the same document without adversely affecting SwiftFile's prediction ability.

System Requirements
Windows 98/NT SP4/2000/XP
32 MB RAM
10 MB free disk space
Lotus Notes 7 or later

InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes

Creating a transform file to customize the IBM Lotus Notes 7 client installation package requires a third-party tool,
such as InstallShield® Tuner. Lotus Notes 7 contains an OEM version called InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes that
lets you create customization transforms to add resources, change defaults, or hide features present in the standard
Lotus Notes 7 kit. Note that InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes works with both Lotus Notes 7 client packages (Notes
only and All Clients), but cannot be used to customize any other MSI packages.
To install InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes, run setup.exe from the Apps\InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes folder
on the Lotus Notes 7 Installation CD.
Please note that IBM Technical Support does not provide assistance for InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes. However,
InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes does include comprehensive online help to familiarize you with the process of
customizing an industry-standard Windows Installer (.MSI) package. For additional details about InstallShield Tuner
OEM, please visit the InstallShield web site at http://www.installshield.com.

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

Free Time Web Service database 7.0

The Busy Time Web Service database (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 Database

This is a sample application and may change in future releases.

Accessing the Web Service

The Domino 7.0 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 database (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

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 database
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.

aggregation of source-to-destination, scheduled aggregation for missed or long-running aggregations,
availability of directories and secondary LDAP/Notes domains, and view/update LDAP serving reports.
- Mail probes that include: verification of local mail routing by sending a message to a known destination
and verifying its delivery, alerting the administrator to the number of inflight messages if the router cannot
keep up with the mail flow, and alerting the administrator when too much mail is pending to a particular
destination, or if mail to that destination is failing.
- SMTP probes that: verify mail can be delivered to a SMTP recipient via a Delivery Status Notification (DSN)
report, check the SMTP task by verifying the processes threads, and verify protocol requests by connecting to
the appropriate port and performing a minimal protocol-specific conversation.
- Replication probes that check for: replication errors, for databases which have not replicated according to
their configured schedule, for last successful replication, and for replication conflicts, including doclinks to
the replication conflict documents.
- Security probes that include: verification of a database ACL against a pre-determined configuration, and a
check for inconsistencies in security configurations across multiple servers based on a "gold standard" set of
configuration values.

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

- Agent probes that report total number of agents run, agent security errors, time-out errors, agents diabled
by the Design Update task, full-text operations performed against non-indexed databases, CPU usage,
memory usage by LotusScript and Java agents executed by Agent Manager and HTTP, and agents that run
long or start late.
- Integration of the Tivoli Autonomic Monitoring Engine (TAME) into Domino, which provides event reporting
capabilities to other Tivoli Interfaces (i.e., Tivoli Enterprise Console), and which provides a framework for
third-party Resource Module plug-ins to evaluate/report on Domino and OS resources.
- Domino Resource Modules, built for Domino TAME, can report CPU, memory, disk, and network utilization
statistics. The resource modules are configured with and report to DDM interfaces, and to Tivoli Enterprise
2
Console .

Directories

� Aliases have been added. An alias is an entry in an LDAP directory which points to another entry in the directory;
on a search request the derefAlias protocol element specifies whether to dereference the alias to the entry it
points to, or not. For example, specifying an alias of "cn=Bruce Kent,o=ACME" as the base and
"derefAlias=Always" on a search request returns the entry the alias points to, cn=Bruce Kent,ou=Boston,o=ACME.
The Domino LDAP service supports limited alias dereferencing for LDAP search requests.
� The Domino 7 LDAP service now supports Universal Notes IDs (UNID) through 32-character values of the new
"dominoUNID" operational attribute.
� LDAP searches have been enhanced to work with IBM Workplace products that use the WebSphere Member
Manager (WMM) service to access user/group objects.

Install

� Enhancements to Smart Upgrade include:

- Detaching kits in the background, to prevent time lost to a non-working client
- Failover from a shared (network) upgrade kit to another server's attached kit
- If clustered, use of a cluster mate if the first server is unavailable
- Prevent excessive server load by limiting the number of downloads from a single server
- Notification to administrators, via a mail-in database, of the Smart Upgrade status by user/machine
(Success, Failed, or Delayed)

of the same problem.
� When using the automatic diagnostic collection tool to gather information about server crashes, the server is now
first checked to see if it is being run under the Domino Controller and, if so, uses the Controller logs. If not, the
server is checked to see if console logging is enabled and, if so, uses the console output. Finally, data is
extracted from log.nsf if neither the Domino Controller nor console logging has been set.
� Customers can configure what files (using wildcards) will be collected by the automatic diagnostic collection tool
when it runs on clients or servers. This allows for the option to collect diagnostic files from other IBM products as
well as third-party add-ins.
� When the "quit" or "restart server" command is issued to the server, and the server doesn't terminate in the alloted
time, then the server will forcefully terminate and an NSD log will be generated before termination. The time limit
is specified in the "Automatic Server Restart" section of the server document in the Basics tab; the default is 5
minutes. This time limit is the time that no shutdown activity occurs; when a process successfully terminates
then the timer restarts. This feature can be disabled using the NOTES.INI setting
SHUTDOWN_MONITOR_DISABLED=1.

Domino Web Access

New Features in Domino Web Access 7
This release note provides a general overview of new features in Domino Web Access 7.0. For additional information
about these features and other updates to the Domino Web Access documentation, see the Documentation Updates -
Domino Web Access section of these release notes, or the Domino Web Access 7 help.

Improved performance -- Server performance includes a 40% - 50% increase in scalability, lower CPU utilization, and
page generation improvements. On the client side, response time has improved 30% - 40%, most notably on lower
end machines (400-800 MHz). Another performance improvement that users can enable via user preferences, is the
ability to reuse child windows.

Disable drag and drop -- Users can set a Calendar preference to disable drag-and-drop and in-place editing, in their
Calendar.

Import Corporate holidays -- Through preferences, users can import holidays into their calendar using predefined sets
that are country specific.

Instant Messaging -- The integrated Instant Messaging feature is more robust and more closely mirrors the Notes
client awareness features. Name awareness has been added in views such as Contacts, Calendar and Scheduling, and
meetings, with right-click menus available for each of the views. New in Domino Web Access 7.0, users will be able to
use the Lotus Sametime Connect contact list manager, and will be able to share contact lists with the Notes client.
Administrators will have more control over features and settings using the new configuration settings available on the
Domino Web Access tab of the Configuration Settings document.

Increased Linux Mozilla parity -- Domino Web Access on Linux Mozilla more closely resembles the Windows clients
and includes drag and drop support, secure log-off, and enhanced attachment UI that simulates a list style. When
closing a window, users are prompted to prevent losing data (Mozilla 1.7). Also in this release, the Domino Sync
Manager supports scheduled synchronization.

21
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

Monitor Domino Web Access activity -- Administrators can determine the number of active Domino Web Access users
on a system by logging Domino Web Access requests. Domino Web Access activity logging records include such
information as the name of the Domino Web Access server, the name of the user accessing the server, the Domino
Web Access request, the number of bytes returned as a result of the request, the amount of time it took to process the
request, and the date on which the request occurred.

Mail Threads -- Users can now view mail threads, which groups a message together with the responses to it. Mail
threads can be viewed from the Mail Threads view, or when reading mail. To view mail threads when reading mail,
users set a Mail - Display user preference. This feature is documented in the Domino Web Access 7 help.

Prohibit access to attachments -- Domino administrators can use a new NOTES.INI setting to prohibit access to
attachments in calendar and scheduling documents, online meetings, and e-mail. For more information about this
feature, see the Domino Administrator 7 Help topic "Editing the Configuration Settings Document for Domino Web
Access."

Productivity improvements -- In Mail, users will be able to delete and message and continue through the list of
messages, and can sort messages by subject. They can also mark a message for follow-up using default settings, and
can forward non-mail, such as calendar entries or contacts. Users can create a Quick Rule in mail, to filter their
messages. Domino Web Access 7.0 also includes a new name picker that more closely resembles Notes.

S/MIME support -- S/MIME is now supported in Domino Web Access. Users can verify an S/MIME signature on a
received message. Users who have an X.509 certificate in their mailfile-based Notes ID can decrypt received S/MIME
messages as well as S/MIME sign messages they send. Outgoing messages can be S/MIME encrypted for recipients
who have an X.509 certificate in the Domino Directory or Domino Web Access contacts. The new "add sender to
contacts" feature includes copying the Internet certificate (if present) to the Contact document.

Stationery -- Users can create stationery that they can re-use for their mail messages. The stationery can include text
and graphics and other optional information, such as mail delivery options. Users can create standard stationery that
includes recipients, which is useful for messages that routinely get mailed to the same group of people. They can also
create personal stationery that can include personalized text or graphics. This feature is documented in the Domino
Web Access 7 help.

Notes Client
Notes Application plug-in for IBM Workplace Managed Client
The Notes Application Plug-in is included as part of the Notes / Domino 7.0 release, and is designed to work in
conjunction with the IBM Workplace Collaboration Services Managed Client. The IBM Workplace Managed Client is a
new offering that utilizes IBM Workplace Client Technology. For purposes of these Release Notes, IBM Workplace
Managed Client will be referred to simply as the "managed client" below.

System Requirements
In addition to having the IBM Workplace Managed Client 2.5 installed, the following are required:

� IBM Lotus Notes 7 Client for Windows, installed on the same machine as the managed client
� Minimum System Memory 512 MB (recommended 1 GB)
� Diskspace of 275MB

Configuration Instructions
� Install IBM Workplace Managed Client 2.5.
� Install IBM Lotus Notes 7 Client

Operating Instructions
� The Notes applications are accessed via the managed client by selecting from the Switcher Bar and selecting the
Notes Applications icon.
� The Notes Application component provides access to your Notes Applications which can be selected through the
Notes Application navigator. Initially the application displayed will be the default page configured for the Notes
client.
� Once the Notes Application is active the menus available to the Notes Client will also be available from within the
managed client while the Tabbed Pages are showing Notes content.

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

Known Limitations and Problems

1. Any settings you have set in Notes will also be set in the managed client. So, for instance, if you have Single Sign
On turned on in Notes, you will not be prompted for a login to Notes when switching to the Notes Application
component. However, if you have it turned off, you will be asked to sign into Notes. This holds true for the IBM
Lotus Sametime client as well.
2. In general preference settings can be modified from within Notes Plugin, however some items such as Toolbar
modifications will not have any effect until the Notes Client is utilized as the toolbars are not available within the
managed client.
3. Notes Auto Logout is not putting up the Logout screen in the managed client. The databases are locked and
cannot be edited without a password, but the top database is visible.
4. If a database is open in Notes, and you try to open the same one in the managed client, it will not open. However,
if you open it first in the managed client and then try to open the same db in Notes, Notes will bring the managed
client to the foreground to display the database.
5. If you have Designer opened and you open a database in the managed client, you cannot close Designer until the
Workplace client has been closed.
6. If you have the managed client open, as well as Notes and Designer, selecting to close Designer will actually close
the Notes client. Designer will remain open until the managed client is closed.
7. The Startup folder bookmarks are not available from the Notes Application navigator.
8. Some Accelerator keys that move the main window are not available when accessing Notes applications in the
managed client.
9. When clicking on the 'X' to close a document, if the document needs to be saved, the tab disappears and then you
are prompted to save your document. If you are closing several documents, you will not be able to tell which
document is prompting you to be saved. If you click Cancel, the tab will be restored and will allow you to close it
again.
10. Hitting the F10 key with a Notes database open and then clicking on the top-level menu will cause the managed
client to hang. You must restart the managed client to recover.
11. Clicking on a database bookmark will sometimes bring up the "Search for Database" dialog. However, if you
right-click on the bookmark, select "Open Replica," and choose your database from there, it will open correctly.
12. If the managed client crashes while you are working on an autosave-enabled document, you will be prompted to
recover the document when the Client is restarted. Even though the document does not display when you click on
it and select Recover, it is there in the autosave database. You can check this by opening the autosave database.
13. Double-clicking on an attachment from a document that is in the Autosave directory will display the error
message "Note item not found" and the managed client will hang.
14. When working with an outside application, such as IE, if you give focus back to the managed client by clicking on
the File menu in the Notes Application view, your application could hang. When giving focus to the managed
client, we recommend you click on the title bar or within a view and then select the menu.
15. When using the IBM Workplace and the managed client with Calendaring & Scheduling Alarms enabled, opening a
calendar entry from the Alarm dialog may result in the dialog having incorrect focus. In some situations, the
dialog will have focus instead of the entry. You may also encounter the Alarm dialog disappearing behind the
Workplace application after editing the entry without first dismissing the dialog.
16. When using IBM Workplace and the managed client with Calendaring & Scheduling Alarms enabled, you may
encounter the error "entry not found in index" or "The document specified by the link cannot be located within the
linked-to database" if you open the Calendar from the Workplace - Today Welcome page prior to receiving the
Alarm.
17. When using IBM Workplace and the managed client with Calendaring & Scheduling, if the meeting chair
reschedules a meeting using the drag and drop method, the meeting will not appear on the calendar at the new
day/time until the view is manually refreshed with F9.
18. When using the managed client, and you have Lotus Notes installed with the Calendaring & Scheduling Alarms
enabled, you may see a situation when the perspective is set to another IBM Workplace application (like
Messaging) and the Lotus Notes Alarms dialog displays. Opening the C&S entry from the Alarm dialog will
display the entry in the preview frame of the Messaging perspective.

23
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

19. When using IBM Workplace and the managed client with Calendaring & Scheduling Alarms enabled, the IBM
Workplace application is not restored from the minimized state when you receive an Alarm dialog and attempt to
open the calendar entry from the dialog.
20. If you cancel out of the password prompt while opening Notes from within the managed client, you must restart
the managed client in order to be able to reopen Notes.
21. If you cancel out of the password prompt while opening Notes from within the managed client and then select File
- Database - Open, Notes crashes and you must restart the managed client.
22. If Notes or the managed client crashes or hangs and you need to shut down the managed client, when you restart
and try to open Notes you may get a message stating that Notes cannot be displayed because it is not installed.
If this occurs, shut down the managed client and restart it again. Most times Notes will open.
23. There is an accelerator conflict when using Notes within the managed client. In the Notes client, pressing
Alt+E+D deselects any selected files in a view. However, when using Notes within the managed client, pressing
Alt+E+D (+ENTER) deletes any selected files in a view. To deselect selected files while using Notes within the
managed client, press Alt+E+D, and then press D again, followed by ENTER.

Domino Administrator Client

Server.load new features in R7
Following are the new Server.load features introduced in Domino 7. Please see the Domino Administrator Help
database for complete information on these new features:

1. New Server.load script commands

SetReplID
Sets the database replica ID.

DBClose
Closes the open database.

CheckForNewMail
Checks for new mail on the specified mail database.

NewReplicateDB
Creates an empty replica of a database

2. Workload data rollup feature

The Server.Load workload data rollup feature allows test data from a group of test drivers and a SUT to be
combined into a single datafile for analysis.

3. Server authentication now optional

The field "Server to receive Console Commands" in the Server.load metrics window can be left blank for
workloads & scripts that do not need to authenticate with a server, such as the new Workload Data Rollup
script. Also this allows scripts such as internet based mail to be run without NRPC authentication, so you
could create a custom script that uses SMTP and POP3 against any type of mail server, such as an IBM
Workplace mail server.

24
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

4. Collection of per-command response times in Server.load

NB_Collect_Response_Times in the test driver's NOTES.INI will enable output of per command response
times.
The file will be in the resultsdirectory and will have the name RespTime_OutFile-#, where # is the driver
number.

To enable collection of per-command response times add the following settings to the client driver's
NOTES.INI file:

NB_Collect_Response_Times=1
RESULTSDIRECTORY=Z:\

To disable collection of per-command response times set NB_Collect_Response_Times=0 or remove the ini
setting.

5. Agents and files in namagent.nsf have been updated for new workloads.
See the Using This Database document in namagent.nsf

6. Domino SSL in the R6IMAP workload

To enable SSL in the R6IMAP workload add the following setting to the client driver's NOTES.INI file:

NB_SSL_OPTION=USE_SSL

To disable SSL in the R6IMAP workload remove the NOTES.INI setting. Issue: for this release you must put a
space in the Server.load script variables window for this variable if you are not using SSL.

The R7 Server.load client can be used to drive an SSL R6IMAP workload on a Domino R6 server.

New enhancements

Domino Server
AdminP - Rename Reversion Approval
The Administration process will no longer automatically revert name changes and will require that the administrator
either approve or reject the name change reversion.
In order to provide uninterrupted access to users' databases while a name change is in progress, there is a period of
time where both the old and new names will be allowed access to the systems and databases. This period of time is,
by default, 21 days, but may be defined by the administrator when the rename is performed (from 14 to 60 days).
After this time period is expired, the old name will no longer be supported.
However, there are some situations where the old name must remain active and the new name abandoned; for
example, when the user is unable to accept the name change because that user may be out of the office for an
extended period of time (e.g., maternity leave). In a case like this, the name change initiated by the administrator
would need to be reverted, in order to provide continued access to the user whose name was being changed. Prior to
the new approval process, the reversion was performed automatically after the expiration time had expired. Now, with
the addition of the new approval process, the capability to approve or reject a name change reversion is provided to
the administrator.
This feature mirrors the approval process activated when the user rejects a name change, and is described in the
Domino Administrator Help documentation.

Domino for i5/OS

Domino 7 plug-in for HTTP Server (powered by Apache) and V5R3
Customers can take advantage of the HTTP Server (powered by Apache) to forward HTTP traffic to their Domino 6 and
7 servers. This is an alternative to exclusively using the built in HTTP server provided in Domino. Refer to the Lotus
Domino 7 for i5/OS HELP (Installing and Managing Guide) and the Web site
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/domino/apache.html for more information.

Domino Console - Ability to connect through a firewall
The Domino Console in Domino 6.x used to work only within an intranet scope for connecting to the Server Controller.
In Domino 7, administrators are now able to connect to the Controller from outside a firewall. On the controller end,
you need to run a simple program, "service binder", and the Controller has to 'advertise' the service on the binder.
This service binder program runs on a machine which is outside the firewall of a company, and it listens on a port for
Domino Console requests to connect to a Controller which has published services. The binder then connects both
Console and Controller if the services match.
In the current release, there isn't a separate installation for this binder program on a new machine, however, you may
follow the instructions below, and copy these files from a machine where you have Domino or Notes installed.

Installation and starting binder program:

You need to copy the following files from the Domino Installed machine to the machine where service binder will be
running.
� Create a directory on the binder machine.
� Copy the following files which ever way you prefer (FTP, ZIP, or TAR).
sbinder.exe (sbinder on UNIX)
dconsole.jar
jvm and all its subdirectories
NOTES.INI (a dummy file)
startup (only for UNIX)
luname (only on UNIX)
execbin (only on UNIX)

� To run the program issue the following:

sbinder -ip <IpAddress> -port <portnum>
parameters are options. Default port is 2055.

Controller end operations:

Start the Controller and Console on the server box where you will define services (Edit -> Manage Services should
bring the Edit services dialog up). Define the binder machine name and port on which it will be listening, then also
give the SOCKS proxy hostname and port, if they are enabled, in your environment. Next, define a service by clicking
the "New" button; a new Edit Service dialog should pop up. Define a service and enable it, if you want to start the
service (the binder machine should already be running for this to work). Controller then sends the service information
to the binder based on the Binder service and SOCKS proxy enabled.

Console end operations:

Start the Console on the machine from where you want to connect a Controller outside the firewall; File -> Open
Server(Firewall) should bring up an 'Open server through firewall' dialog. Enter username, password, binder machine
name, binder port, and service name. Enter proxy name and proxy port if your environment is using a proxy server.
The Console and Controller should now be connected.

LDAP special character handling
Note: for clarity, punctuation marks discussed in the text are followed by their proper names in parentheses.

Introduction
Domino 7 includes a set of fixes for the conversion of a distinguished name (DN) between LDAP syntax and Notes
syntax. A simple example of a conversion from LDAP to Notes is CN=Mary Smith,OU=West,O=Acme ->
CN=Mary Smith/OU=West/O=Acme. More complex DNs get tricky to convert back and forth correctly, and
previous Domino releases did not handle all of them correctly or consistently.

For example, the LDAP DN CN=This\+That,OU=West,O=Acme should be converted to the Notes DN

CN=This"+"That/OU=West/O=Acme. However, previous revisions did not correctly escape the + (plus)
character with double-quotes, resulting in a Notes DN (CN=This+That/OU=Westford/O=Acme) that appears to
have a multi-valued RDN.

26
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

The representation of an LDAP DN is defined in RFC 2253. Notes DNs are (more loosely) defined in the topic
"Hierachical naming for servers and users" in the Installation section of the Lotus Domino Administrator 7 Help.
Conversions between the two are described below.

These fixes are not enabled by default in Domino 7. Administrators must enable them by including the line
DN_PARSE_REV=2 in the server's NOTES.INI file and then restarting the Domino server.

Important: The fixes for special character handling should only be implemented when you are satisfied that no
backward compatibility issues exist. These are described in more detail below.

Common DN conversion scenarios

The most common contexts in Domino where name conversion occurs are the Domino LDAP server, name lookups to
LDAP directories configured in DA (i.e., NAMELookup->LDAP gateway), and LTPA single sign-on authentication. The
Domino LDAP server must convert an LDAP DN it receives from a client to its Notes equivalent in order to save it in
the Domino directory database (that is, the Add operation) or compare it to other names in the directory. It must also
convert from Notes to LDAP when returning search results. When the Domino server or some server task (for example,
the mail router) searches for directory information in an LDAP directory, the gateway must convert results to Notes
DNs. This is typically done when searching for mail recipients, authentication credentials, and ACL groups. LTPA
tokens typically have the name encoded in LDAP syntax, so when receiving a token for authentication, Domino must
convert the DN to Notes. If Notes is the generator of an LTPA token, it typically converts the person's DN from Notes
to LDAP and stores it in the token.

Also, when dealing with multi-directory scenarios that include person or group entries that reside in both Domino and
LDAP directories, it's important to understand in what contexts a Notes DN is expected, and in what contexts an LDAP
DN is expected. The general rule is that Notes DNs are used in Domino database fields (for example, the Fullname
field or any other names field) or ACLs, and LDAP DNs are used in LDAP directory attributes. In scenarios like this,
DN conversion between Notes and LDAP is necessary. For instance, when entering the DN of an entry that resides in
an LDAP directory into the ACL of a Domino database (or secondary value of Fullname), you need to convert it to its
Notes DN equivalent. Or, when using the Notes DN mapping feature in Directory Assistance, you should convert the
Notes DN to its LDAP equivalent and use that value in the specified attribute of the LDAP directory.

Converting DNs between LDAP and Notes

The fundamental transformation that must be made is substituting the , (comma) character used to separate name
components in an LDAP DN with the / (forward-slash) character used for the same purpose in a Notes DN (as in the
first example above), and vice versa. Most other characters in the DN are used as is.

However, as defined in RFC 2253, certain characters must be escaped with a \ (back-slash) character when used in a
name component attribute value (attrValue). For example, the comma character must be escaped since it is also
used as a name component separator. So, a correct LDAP representation is CN=Warren\+
Rabbit,OU=East,O=Acme, not CN=Warren + Rabbit,OU=East,O=Acme. When this name is converted to
Notes syntax the plus character must be escaped in the Notes style by surrounding it with double-quote characters
(see the second example above). However, not all LDAP-escaped characters need to be Notes-escaped. See the table
below for other characters that must be escaped in an LDAP DN, and which must be escaped with double-quotes when
converting to Notes.

In addition, the forward-slash and @ (at-sign) characters must be escaped when used in a attrValue of a Notes DN,
otherwise the canonicalization and abbreviation of these names will fail. So, the correct representation is
MAIL=bob"@"www.acme.com/OU=South/O=Acme, not [email protected]/OU=South/O=Acme .
When this name is converted to LDAP syntax, the at-sign is not escaped, which results in
[email protected],OU=South,O=Acme. This is also shown below.

The following table is a helpful reference for determining:

cn=This\#That,o=Acme cn=This#That/o=Acme cn=This#That/o=Acme
cn=This\;That,o=Acme cn=This;That/o=Acme cn=This;That/o=Acme

Other conversion problems that have been resolved with this set of fixes include:
� Stricter validation of LDAP and Notes DNs, such as:
-- Unescaped special chars
e.g. cn=this<that,o=Acme
-- Illegal/non-ascii chars in attrTypes
e.g. 1two=foo,o=Acme
big$=spender,o=Acme
-- "#" hexstring attrValues where one or more of the hexpairs in hexstring is illegal
e.g. cn=#hij,o=Acme
-- Illegal backslash escaped attrValues
e.g. cn=not\YY right,o=Acme
-- Other bad syntax
e.g. cn=thats,,ou=+just,#ou=not,o;=right
� OID style attrTypes
e.g. 1.2.3.4.5=foo,o=Acme
oid1.2.3.4.5=foo,o=Acme

28
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

� attrValues encoded as "\" hexpair

e.g. cn=foo\41bar,o=Acme
� attrValues encoded as "#" hexstring
e.g. cn=#414243442C31323334, o=Acme

Backward compatibility
In order to correctly perform round-trip conversion of DNs (i.e. LDAP->Notes->LDAP and Notes->LDAP->Notes), it was
necessary to change the behavior for how certain escaped characters are handled. As shown in the tables above, when
converting from LDAP the = (equals),(comma) + (plus), " (double-quotes), and \ (back slash)
characters are escaped by surrounding them with a double-quote char in the resulting Notes DN. So, a server with
DN_PARSE_REV=2 enabled will convert the LDAP DN cn=George\+Abraham,cn=users,dc=acme,dc=com to
the Notes DN cn=George"+"Abraham/cn=users/dc=acme/dc=com. A server without this Notes.ini variable
will convert the LDAP DN to cn=George+Abraham/cn=users/dc=acme/dc=com, which will cause problems
when attempting to convert it back to LDAP, as the parsing code can not determine whether the back slash used to
escape the plus sign is a separator for a multi-valued RDN or just part of the attrValue. Unfortunately, this can result
in incompatibility between servers that have DN_PARSE_REV=2 enabled and those that don't (or can't, such as
pre-7.0 servers).

Enabling DN_PARSE_REV=2
It is safe to enable DN_PARSE_REV=2 if:
� There are no entries in Domino directories or LDAP servers configured via Directory Assistance that have DNs that
contain the = (equals), + (plus), @ (at sign), " (double quotes), or \ (back slash)
characters in attrValues, or
� All DNs stored in Domino directories that contain these chars in attrValues are stored in the new Notes syntax. In
this case, DN_PARSE_REV=2 should be enabled on all 7.0 servers.
If neither of the above cases are true then the suggested procedure for enabling DN_PARSE_REV=2 is as follows:
� Upgrade all servers to 7.0
� In each Domino directory, modify any entries which have DNs stored in the old Notes syntax to have the correct
new Notes syntax (see table above). Replicate changes to all replicas.
� For each server, set DN_PARSE_REV=2 in Notes.INI and restart.

Other Considerations
When DN_PARSE_REV=2 is enabled, the DNs specified in LDAP protocol operations will be subject to stricter syntax
checking. This may result in invalid DN syntax errors being returned by the Domino LDAP server. For example, a
search filter like "secretary=name*" will not produce the same results as a pre-7.0 Domino LDAP server would.
The filter must look like this: "secretary=cn=name*".
Known caveats and bugs

� The Notes client has a few problems handling the \ (back-slash) and ; (semicolon) characters, so these
characters should be avoided in DNs.

� These characters should not be used in DNs that begin with CN=: = (equals) and " (double quotes). However,
other LDAP identifiers, such as UID and email will work.

For example, this will not work: CN=this\=that, o=Acme

This will work: UID=this\=that, o=Acme

� If the > (greater-than) sign is used in a DN, the derived RDN is not correct. For example, if the original DN is
cn=user>greaterthan,o=abc, the derived RDN is user/greaterthan, which is wrong.

� Avoid using < (less-than) and > (greater-than) together in a DN.

� LDAP searches for attributes of type DN are now stricter with DN_PARSE_REV=2, consequently, the search filter,
"secretary=name*" will not work. The filter must look like this: "secretary=cn=name*".

� The Domino LDAPsearch.exe tool does not handle ; (semi-colon) and " (double quotes) in base-level searches.

DNs that use the + (plus), @ (at-sign), , (comma), # (pound) , and / (forward-slash) have no known caveats.

Notes Client, Domino Server

Rooms and Resources Manager
The Rooms & Resources (R&R) functionality in Domino 7 has been redesigned with the primary purpose of preventing
overbookings of rooms or resources. There is a new Domino 7 server task, the Rooms & Resources Manager (RnRMgr),
that is responsible for both processing all reservation requests and updating busytime for room and resources. As a
result, there have been some changes made to the previous Rooms & Resources (R&R) experience that Administrator
should be aware of.

� Room and resource reservations will not be processed unless the RnRMgr task is loaded on the server where
the R&R database resides. To ensure that the RnRMgr task is loaded on server startup or restart, it should
be added to the ServerTasks= line of the servers NOTES.INI file if it is not already there. To manually load
the task use the "load rnrmgr" console command.
� The Schedule Manager (SchedMgr) task is no longer responsible for updating busytime for rooms or
resources. All console commands previously used by SchedMgr can be used with the RnRMgr. For example,
to have the current busytime data for Room A/Floor 2/Site1 displayed on the console simply issue the
console command "tell rnrmgr show Room A/Floor 2/Site1".
� The Administration Server setting for each R&R database needs to be set before any administrative changes
can be made to it. This value MUST be the same as the "Server" setting for any pre-exsting rooms or
resources in the database. If the value is different, autoprocessing of requests for new rooms or resources
may experience sporadic delays due to conflicting data in the Name & Address Book.

If users book conference rooms via Calendar & Scheduling (i.e., their mail file), they will see no difference in booking
rooms or resources. Users request the room, and the R&R system will autoprocess the request and respond as it did
before. If users book conference rooms directly in a Conference Room database, however, they will see some slightly
different behavior than they may have been used to in the past. The views are still the same, but there are now several
new icons:

A green checkmark icon indicates that a reservation request has been processed and accepted by RnRMgr.

An hourglass icon indicates a pending reservation request for the time shown in the view. This is a request that
the RnRMgr has yet to process, or that requires some form of Owner intervention first. The majority of Hourglass
icons represent a pending request; users should not see many of them since RnRMgr is seeing and processing
requests within a few seconds of them being written to the Conference Room database.

A red "X" icon indicates a rejected reservation request for the time shown.

When an owner accepts a room reservation for a room that is "Waiting for Owner Approval", the accepted request may
remain in the Waiting for Approval view for a few seconds until the Rooms & Resource manager has time to process
the request. If this happens, the "Requested by" field will change from the name of the original requestor to the name
of the owner, and remain that way until the system processes it.

Prior to Domino 7, room reservation processing occurred in several places such as the Router or the R&R template.
This kind of distributed decision-making had some drawbacks; the biggest being that it was possible for multiple users
to reserve the same room at the same time, for different meetings. For Domino 7, the R&R system was redesigned so
that it would prevent overbookings and improve the overall user experience.

The biggest change to the direct booking experience is a change to the way directly booked reservation requests are
handled. Before RnRMgr, if a user managed to save their new Reservation request in the R&R database, they had the
expectation that they had reserved the room, though this may not always have been the case.

Now, the user is able to save their request to the database only if there is no pre-existing conflict for the desired
dates/times, but this does not mean that they have actually reserved the room. RnRMgr makes the final decision
whether or not to accept or decline the reservation request, and the new icons are used to inform users of the current
status of their reservation request.

Domino Server
SSL Cryptographic Accelerators
Starting in 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 with Notes/Domino 7 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 Domino 7, 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. */

/* Smartcard-enable the server's ID file

*/
error = SECManipulateSC (SC_manip_SCEnableID,
&Context,
NULL,
&dwPwdLen,
ServerIDPwd);

Domino Server, Domino for z/OS

zSeries hardware-assisted data compression for Transaction Log
Domino 7 on the zSeries platforms (z/OS and Linux) can optionally exploit hardware-assisted data compression for
transaction logging. With the option turned on, data written to the transaction log will be compressed using the
zSeries CMPSC instruction instead of Domino software. If data is then accessed from the transaction log the Domino
7 zSeries server will use the appropriate technique (CMPSC instruction or Domino software) to decompress. Data in
transaction logs that has been compressed using zSeries hardware-assisted data compression cannot be used on
non-zSeries Domino platforms or pre-Domino 7 zSeries servers.

By default, hardware-assisted data compression for transaction logging is enabled. The feature can be disabled by
starting the Domino server with "TRANSLOG_HardwareCompress=0" set in NOTES.INI.

The CMPSC instruction requires less CPU cycles then Domino software to do the compression. Depending on the
server workload, using the hardware-assisted data compression for the transaction logging feature can result in a CPU
utilization improvement.

The Domino software to compress the transaction logs uses a more comprehensive technique to do the compression
than the CMPSC instruction. Therefore, the storage required for transaction logs may be greater when the
hardware-assisted data compression for the transaction logging feature is enabled.

Backward compatibility

Notes Client, Domino Designer, Domino Server

Differences in Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.x
There have been some changes made by Sun in the Java 1.4.x release that is included in Notes/Domino Release 7.
These changes could affect the behavior of existing Java agents, applets, etc. in a Notes/Domino application. A
complete list can be found at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/compatibility.html#incompatibilities1.4.

For example, as a result of the new focus architecture introduced in 1.4.0, the following incompatibilities were
introduced:
� Focus traversal keys (in most cases this means the TAB key) are now consumed, which can cause problems if
a program depends on a key listener being notified of these key events. Previously, AWT components saw
these events and had an opportunity to consume them before AWT initiated focus traversal. To avoid focus
traversal keys being consumed, use the following code:

component.setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false);

where component is the Component that is firing the key events. Focus traversal can then be handled
manually. Alternatively, the code can use an AWTEventListener or KeyEventDispatcher to pre-listen to all key
events. For more information, see bug 4650902.

32
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 1 - About this release

� The default focus traversability for all components is now true. Previously, some components (in particular,
all lightweights), had a default focus traversability of false. Note that despite this change, however, the
DefaultFocusTraversalPolicy for all AWT containers will preserve the traversal order of previous releases.
� A request to focus a non-focus traversable (i.e., non-focusable) component will be denied. Previously, such
requests were granted.
� Window.toFront() and Window.toBack now perform no operation if the window is not visible. Previously, the
behavior was platform-dependent.
Changes specific to Microsoft Windows:
� Window.toBack() changes the focused window to the top-most window after the Z-order change.
� requestFocus now allows cross-window focus change requested in all cases. Previously, requests were
granted for heavyweights, but denied for lightweights.

Domino Server
AIX - Concurrent I/O, Direct I/O not supported on Domino servers
Concurrent I/O (CIO) and Direct I/O (DIO) are not supported for use with Lotus Domino servers. CIO is a new file
system feature that has been introduced in AIX 5.2.0.10 (also known as maintenance level 01), in the Enhanced
Journaling File system (JFS2). The documentation for this feature states that it improves performance for many
environments, particularly for relational databases.
Because the CIO feature is not supported for use with Domino servers, you should not enable this option on file
systems that Domino will access. Having this option enabled has been reported to cause Domino data corruption that
may result in server crashes, or in serious performance issues.
Certain core file system items (such as file buffer cache, per-file lock or inode lock, and sync daemon) are managed
differently by the operating system with the CIO option enabled. Currently, Domino has not been coded to address
these changes in behavior.

The CIO option is normally enabled as a flag, given when a file system is mounted. To disable this mount option, use
the following steps:
1. For each file system that is mounted with CIO, run the following command:
chfs -a options=rw /FS_NAME
Where /FS_NAME is the name of the mount point.

2. Next, unmount and remount each file system. Or, you can reboot, which has the same effect if done after the chfs
commands.

3. To verify the change was applied, run 'mount' and make sure you do not see "cio" in the mount options column, as
shown in the example below.

Example

output with CIO disabled:

/dev/test05lv /test05 jfs2 Oct 04 23:13 rw,log=INLINE

output with CIO enabled:

/dev/test03lv /test03 jfs2 Sep 19 19:25 rw,cio,log=INLINE

NOTE: DIO poses the same problems to Domino as CIO does. Evaluation for including support for CIO and DIO will
be considered for a future release, based on customer demand.
For additional information on the CIO feature, refer to the AIX whitepaper "Improving Database Performance With AIX
Concurrent I/O" at http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/whitepapers/db_perf_aix.pdf

Smartcard Package Caveats:

� Version 2.2 is the required minimum version of ActivCard Gold supported for Notes 7.
� The Belgian eID was tested with run-time version 2.3.13. A number of bugs are present in this version of the
library: pressing the "Select Slot" button in the User Security Panel will result in the PKCS #11 library
crashing; users may receive PIN prompts from the PKCS#11 library as well as Notes; the ID file can be
successfully locked with certificates imported from the token using the "Lock ID With Key on Smartcard"
action, but starting Notes with the token in the reader subsequently will take 5-30 seconds; removing the
token from the reader will lock Notes if the ID is locked with a key on the smartcard, but the PKCS #11
library will never report that the token has been re-inserted, forcing the user to shut down Notes, remove the
token from the reader, restart Notes, then re-insert the token into the reader. Updating to the most recent
version of the Belgian eID token may fix some or all of these problems.
� The Estonian eID was tested with the PKCS#11 library from OpenSC version 0.9.4mp5. Using this version of
the library, S/MIME signing was functional with the pre-loaded certificates and keys, but smartcard login was
nonfunctional. It is probable that version 0.9.4mp6 will fix a bug that prevented the "Lock ID With Key on
Smartcard" action from succeeding.
� 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.

36
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

� The GemSafe Libraries 4.1 claim support for hash and sign mechanisms that they do not actually provide. If
you are having difficulty signing S/MIME messages with a key on these smartcards, setting
PKCS11_TOKEN_BUGS=1 in the NOTES.INI file will activate a workaround in Notes for this problem.
� GemSAFE 2.21's NT Lock Workstation feature has been known to crash some versions of NT and deadlock
with Notes. When installing GemSAFE 2.21, the NT lock workstation feature defaults to on. Un-check the
box.
� There may be problems when installing GemSAFE 2.21 on a laptop running NT 4.

Caveats and Warnings:

� The only way to recover from losing or breaking a smartcard or to revert a smartcard-protected ID file to a
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, 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.
� The format in which smartcard-related information is stored in the ID file has changed since the earliest beta
releases of Notes 6. Using an ID file that was smartcard-enabled with one of these early beta releases will
result in an "Incomplete or incorrect smartcard configuration" with Notes 7.
� 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.

Linux for zSeries 64-bit DB2 requirements
If using LS:DO, LC LSX, or DECS with Domino on Linux for zSeries (64-bit), there is a special consideration for DB2
connections. DB2 on Linux for zSeries will only support a 64-bit application interface at this time. Domino is built as
a 31-bit application, and runs in toleration mode on the 64-bit Linux operating system. A communication interface
must be in place for Domino to interact with DB2. This interface, the "IBM DB2 Universal Database Runtime Client
(31-bit) for 64-bit Linux for zSeries", can be downloaded from http://ibm.com/db2/udb/support/downloadv8.html

The DB2 UDB Runtime Client must be installed in the same image(s) as Domino, however it may not coexist in the
same image as DB2 UDB (64-bit). See the Runtime Client documentation for details.

Domino Server, Domino for z/OS

IBM HTTP Domino Plugin for z/OS
Domino for IBM HTTP Server (WebConnector) is no longer supported. WebSphere to Domino connectivity is now
achieved through the use of a general-purpose WebSphere plugin. Customers desiring the Domino Plugin for use with
the IBM HTTP Server should contact their IBM Sales Representative to obtain it.

Hyper-threaded CPUs treated as SMP systems
Due to the "virtual" CPU that is inherent with a hyper-threaded CPU, hyper-threaded CPUs are counted as SMP
systems.

Domino 7 and IPv6
Domino 7 offers additional platform support above the IPv6 support previously in the product as well as a new feature
-- Notes client's attempted use of all addresses for a name until one is resolved. By default, IPv6 is disabled.

To enable IPv6 for Domino 7, see the topic "Enabling IPv6 on Notes and Domino 7" in the Domino Administrator
documentation.

Support for IPv6 by hardware and operating system suppliers and the Internet is still in the early stages; therefore,
moving to the IPv6 standard is a gradual process for most organizations. In Lotus Domino 6, you can enable IPv6
support for Domino (NRPC), SMTP, POP3, IMAP, LDAP, and HTTP services on AIX®, Solaris®, and Linux systems.
IPv6 is an emerging standard. Vendors that have implemented (or are implementing) IPv6, have done so in varied
ways. Enable and configure IPv6 in your enterprise according to the client and server platforms you are using.

Supported platforms
IPv6 with Notes Domino 7 is supported on the following platforms
� Windows XP for the Notes client
� Microsoft Windows 2003 server
� AIX
� Solaris
� Linux on zSeries and Linux on x86

Note: IPv6 is not available on Domino for i5/OS.

See the Domino Administrator documentation for more information about Domino 7 and IPv6.

Installation notes

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Designer

Notes 7 and Notes 6.x coexistence
Do not install both Lotus Notes 7 and Lotus Notes 6.x on the same machine. Instead, upgrade Lotus Notes 6.x to
Lotus Notes 7. If you need to install both Lotus Notes 7 and 6.x on the same machine, be aware that this installation
could have adverse effects on the operation of the 6.x Client that was previously installed, for example, OLE/COM
settings will point to the Notes 7 directory, default email client settings, etc. With that understanding, follow the steps
below to install Notes 7 on a machine that also has 6.x installed:

Note: You must have local administrator privileges to complete this procedure. These instructions apply to single
user installs only: they do not apply to multi-user client installs.

1. Shut down the Notes client and all Notes-related tools, utilities and add-ins running on your computer.
2. Rename the Notes 6.x directory. Notes 6.x is typically installed to \Program Files\Lotus\Notes on Windows.
For example, you could rename the directory "Notes6."
3. Rename the entire Notes registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lotus\Notes. For example, you can
rename it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lotus\Notes6
4. Rename the entire Installer registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lotus\Notes\Installer. For
example, you can rename it HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lotus\Notes\Installer6
5. Run the Notes 7 install program (SETUP.EXE). Select new locations for the program and data directories.
For example, you can select \Program Files\Lotus\Notes7 and \Program Files\Lotus\Notes7\Data
6. During the install you may see an error message ""Error 1905.Module c:\program files\lotus\notes\nlsxbe.dll
failed to unregister. HRESULT". Click OK and installation will proceeed.
7. When the install program has finished, rename the 6.x directory back to the original directory name, for
example, \Program Files\Lotus\Notes)

Domino for i5/OS

CD batch installation
Domino 7 does not support the batch installation feature using the LODRUN command with physical media. The
OS400/INTLENG/BATCH directory files were removed from the CD when the Domino product grew to require a second
CD for installation.

Domino Server
Display issue with server's Japanese license agreement dialog
If you are using the Japanese locale on Windows 2000, and are having problems viewing the license agreement,
changing your default language to also be Japanese should correct the issue. This is not an issue on Windows 2003.

Domino Server
DOLS install on Linux Mozilla
For this release of Domino 7, the download and installation of Domino Offline Services (DOLS) may take several
minutes to complete.

Domino Server, Domino for i5/OS

Installing Domino 7 for i5/OS
Installing Lotus Domino 7 for i5/OS
If you have previously installed a Domino 7 beta release, you must first remove the beta software (DLTLICPGM
5733LD7), and then install Domino 7 for i5/OS.

Refer to the following sources of information for more details regarding the Installation of Domino 7 for i5/OS:

� the readme file that accompanies the electronic download (readme.txt)

� Domino 7 for i5/OS HELP (i400help.nsf)
� Installing and Managing Domino 7 for i5/OS (i400help.pdf).

Upgrading from Domino R5

If you are planning to upgrade from Domino Release 5 to Domino Release 7, you must first upgrade your system from
OS/400 V5R2 to i5/OS V5R3, and then install Domino 7. Domino R5 is not supported to run on i5/OS V5R3, but for
the purpose of upgrading from Domino R5 to Domino 7, Domino R5 can reside on V5R3 after an OS upgrade and prior
to the Domino 7 install. Once you install Domino 7, any existing Domino R5 servers will be automatically upgraded.
Only upgrades from Domino 5.0.13 are supported.

Installing on OS/400 V5R2 or i5/OS V5R3 with Domino Release 6

If you are planning to upgrade from Domino Release 6 on OS/400 V5R2 to Domino Release 7, you must first upgrade
your system from OS/400 V5R2 to i5/OS V5R3, and then install Domino 7. Domino 7 for i5/OS may be installed on
i5/OS V5R3 with Domino R6 already installed.

If your Domino release is 6.0, 6.0.1, or 6.0.2, then any existing Domino servers will automatically be upgraded when
you install Domino 7. If your Domino release is 6.0.3 or 6.5.0 or later, then Domino 7 will be installed as a
multi-version capable release and any existing Domino servers must be upgraded manually using the UPDDOMSVR CL
command.

For more information about Multi-version capable Domino, refer to Chapter 12 Using Domino for i5/OS multi-version
capabilities in the Domino 7 for i5/OS HELP (i400help.nsf) or Installing and Managing Domino 7 for i5/OS (i400help.pdf).

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

Installing Domino 7 on UNIX using multiple CDs
The Domino 7 server installation files do not fit on a single CD on some UNIX platforms; therefore, a new multiple-CD
installation is provided. To maintain a consistent installation across all UNIX platforms, and to prepare for the time
when additional platforms require more than one CD for server installation, the multiple-CD installation is used on all
UNIX platforms, including those whose install files fit on one CD. The multiple-CD install unpacks and joins the
contents of each CD into a single joined installation. Multiple-CD installation is only available for UNIX systems.

Running the multiple-CD install

Run the multiple-CD install in one of these two ways:

Note Run the multiple-CD install as the "root" user.

� Run the install directly from CD1*

� Copy the files from the CD(s) to a directory** and run the install from there. Copy all of the contents from CD1 but
do not copy the file, Install.dat, from any subsequent CDs when copying their contents to the directory. On CDs
other than CD1, Install.dat is only used when running the install from physical CDs. If the file Install.dat from CD1
is overwritten, the multiple-CD install will fail.

* You cannot be "physically" on the CD when you run the install from CD1 due to mounting/unmounting
considerations. You must be in a directory other than the CD directory and then run the install. For example, if the
CD is mounted on /mnt/cdrom, you must be in a directory such as /tmp and then run the Install as
/mnt/cdrom/Install.

** For Linux on zSeries, or z/OS; you must use the "copy the files to a directory" method.

54
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

There is an initial install script (Install) on CD1 which when run, pulls together the "parts" on each CD to create the
final joined installation. You specify where to put the joined installation; the multiple-CD install then uses the specified
directory both for the joined installation and for temporary storage of the multiple-CD parts. Keep this in mind when
selecting the directory to use, because the install requires an amount of space equal to approximately twice the
number of CDs. For example, if there are two CDs, the size needed is approximately 2*2*600Mb=2.4Gb; however, this
is a "burst" usage because the temporary storage area will be removed and the size will shrink by approximately half.

When multiple-CD install finishes creating the joined installation directory, it prompts you to start the standard
"interactive" install process which actually installs Domino on the system. You can choose not to continue the install
and then do so manually at a later time. This option is useful when setting up a network installation directory.

On some UNIX platforms, you must manually mount the CD because the OS does not automatically do so. The
multiple-CD install then handles mounting and unmounting of the CDs but it does not handle ejecting the CDs. IBM
AIX and some versions of Linux require that you manually mount and unmount CDs; Solaris automatically mounts the
CD.

On AIX, to allow the multiple-CD install to work correctly, you must define a CDRFS file system in /etc/filesystems.
For example, /mnt/cdrom has the entry:

/mnt/cdrom:
dev = /dev/cd0
vfs = cdrfs
mount = false
options = ro
account = false

On Linux for zSeries systems, copy the Domino installation files as follows:

� Using a binary method to transfer the files, copy the files, Install, Install.dat, zlinux.taz.aa and zlinux.taz.aa.c,
from the CD ROM at your workstation to a Linux on zSeries file system where they can be expanded and used for
installation.

On z/OS systems, copy the Domino installation files as follows:

� Using a binary method to transfer the files, copy the files, Install, Install.dat, zos.taz.aa, zos.taz.aa.ck, zos.taz.ab,
and zos.taz.ab.cks, from the CD-ROM at your workstation to a z/OS system where they can be expanded and used
for installation.

Sample runs of the multiple-CD install:

Case 1 -- AIX Multi-CD install from CD (2 CDs in the example set)

Domino Access for Outlook

Installing Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook
IBM Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook (DAMO) allows Microsoft Outlook 2000, Outlook XP, or Outlook 2003
users to connect to an IBM Lotus Domino Server running Domino 6.5.1 or higher. If you are upgrading from a 6.5.x
version, please refer to the "Upgrading from 6.5.x to 7.0" instructions before installing.

For information on migrating users from Exchange to Domino, see the release note "Migrating from Exchange to
Domino."

Upgrading from 6.5.x to 7.0

Users can upgrade from Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook 6.5.x to release 7.0. However, if they are upgrading
from 6.5.3 or earlier, the upgrade will continue to use a single data directory that allows multiple users to have
profiles sharing that directory. To take advantage of the Multi-User Installation capabilities of DAMO 7.0, in which each
user can have his or her own data directory, users must first uninstall DAMO 6.5.x, and then install DAMO 7.0. Before
doing this, users may want to back up the existing *.nsf , *.pst and *.ost. files as a precaution. The initialization
process of the new installation will recreate the mail files locally.

During the upgrade users will be asked if they want to create a profile at the end of the upgrade process. If they
choose No, they can create new profiles at anytime in the future by choosing "Create New MAPI Profile" from the Start -
Programs - IBM Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook shortcut. Note: Users cannot create a DAMO profile using
the Outlook Setup Wizard. They must use the "Create New MAPI Profile" shortcut on the start menu.

Setting up Condensed Directories for Offline

Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook users can create a local replica of an address book to use when working offline,
disconnected from the network. Using Domino Preferences in Microsoft Outlook, users can select an address book to
take offline. It is strongly recommended that a condensed directory catalog is available for users to conserve space
and improve the time it takes to replicate. For information about creating condensed directory catalogs, see the
Domino Administration help topics on creating Directory Catalogs.

56
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

Keeping Your Mail File Secure

There is new capability that allows for multiple users to share the same Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook
installation. This type of installation, however, allows access to other users' .pst files because the .pst and .nsf files are
local. Typically, in both a standard Notes environment and a standard Outlook environment, the mail file is on the
server and the server controls access. And, if a user travels, typically he or she is the only user that has access to the
laptop containing the local replica.But since DAMO requires all files to be on the local workstation, you need to protect
your local mail data file (*.pst) from others by assigning a password to your local data mail file. Additionally, the
individual users can each have their private folder hierarchy as their data directory. For example: c:\Documents and
Settings\<user>\DAMO_Data.

Microsoft Outlook 2000, Outlook XP, and Outlook 2003 each have a different method of assigning a password to the
local data file. Please see the on-line help for your release of Outlook.

DAMO 7.0 Installation Notes for Administrators

Before running the setup.exe that installs Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook, the user must be a registered Domino
user and have the notes.id file available. Also, users need to know their user name as defined in the Domino directory
and the IP address of their mail server.

Administrators can install Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook without end user involvement or end users can install
it on their workstations. If end users are doing their own installs, you should distribute the "End User Installation"
procedure below to end users, along with the sections on differences, known problems and migration Issues. This
information is also available to users in the "Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook Installation and Setup Guide"
on www.Lotus.com/ldd/doc.

Although this product is for Microsoft Outlook users connected to Domino, access through any client connected to
Domino is also available. Users can be configured using the standard administration tools provided with Domino, as
long as the mail database design is Mail7.ntf, Mail7ex.ntf or DWA7.ntf. Mail files that use the Domino for Web Access
7 (DWA7.ntf) template can connect to their mail file on the Domino server using a browser, Domino Access For
Microsoft Outlook, or a Notes client.

Administrator Installation
If you are installing Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook on a workstation for an end user(s), you must be aware that
Windows security is in play so that it is necessary to create the DAMO user's profile using the identity of that user.
Creating a profile in any other way will hide that profile from the intended user.

There are two ways to create the users' profiles:

� The simplest method of creating user profiles is to log on to the Windows workstation as the intended DAMO user.
In this way, using the steps below, there is the ability to create the data directory in the user's private folder
(for example, c:\Documents and Settings\<user>).
� An alternative method is to use the Windows RunAs functionality where a Windows Administrator can assume
the identity of each user to create a DAMO profile.

Note: For a multi-user install, each registered user on the workstation must be a member of the Power Users group to
be able to select their profile when DAMO starts.
Silent Install
The Silent Install option installs Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook and creates a profile without end user
involvement. This process uses the inherent InstallShield capabilities that calls a setup file containing the user's
connection information to the Domino server.

For example, to set up Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook for multiple users on one workstation, the administrator
can run Silent Install and assume the users' logon rights with the RunAs capability for each user.
There is one setup file for each user. The setup file is a text file that contains the following connection information:
-u <User Name> -s <Server IP address> -f <Full path to ID file> -p <id file
Password>
For example:
-u Homer Simpson -s 1.11.11.111 -f c:\lotus\notes\data\homer.id -p 123456

57
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

The DAMO setup executable is called using the following syntax:

setup.exe /s /v"/qn SETUPFILE=<complete path to setup file>"
For example:
setup.exe /s /v"/qn SETUPFILE=c:\user\info.txt"
Note: The syntax must be exact . Notice that after /v there is no space before the quote. Also, there is a closing
quote at the end of the line.

Using RunAs on Windows XP

Option 1 - Using the Install Wizard
1. As the Windows Administrator, run setup choosing the desired options, including either the Single User or the
Multi-User install options.
2. Choose to not create a profile.
3. Click Start - Programs - IBM Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook, and then right click on "Create New
MAPI Profile."
4. Choose "Run As..."
5. In the Run As dialog, select "The following user:"
6. Enter the user's domain, user name, and password.
7. Enter the connection information as described in "Create a User Profile for DAMO."

Option 2 - Using the Silent Install

1. Open a DOS window (cmd.exe) by clicking Start - Programs - Accessories, and then right-click Command Prompt.

2. Choose Run As ...

3. In the Run As dialog, select "The following user:"
4. Enter the user's domain, user name, and password.
5. At the DOS prompt, enter the setup syntax as described in the "Silent Install"section above.

Using RunAs on Windows 2000

Option 1 - Using the Install Wizard
1. As the Windows Administrator, run setup choosing the desired options, including either the Single User or the
Multi-User install options.
2. Choose to not create a profile.
3. Open a command prompt (Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt)
4. Change to the program directory for Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook.
5. Run the executable file, dfosetup.exe, as the intended DAMO user using the following syntax:
c:\> RunAs /USER:"WinDomain\<DAMO User>" dfosetup.exe
6. Create the profile using the connection information described in "Create a User Profile for DAMO" below.

Option 2 - Using the Silent Install

1. Open a DOS window (cmd.exe) by clicking Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt.
2. Use the RunAs command to open another DOS window so that anything run in that window will be run with rights
of the user who opened that DOS window.
C:\> RunAs /USER:"WinDomain\<DAMO User>" cmd.exe
3. From that new window run the install as that user:
setup.exe /s /v"/qn SETUPFILE=<complete path to setup file>"
4. Although it is more complicated, the RunAs command can be used without the need to open a new DOS window.
Use the following syntax, which is a combination of the Windows RunAs syntax (RunAs /?) and the Silent Install
capability. Note: Because of the possible need for nested quotes, you may need to use an escape character (\) if
spaces are involved.
C:\> RunAs /USER:"WinDomain\<DAMO User>" <path to DAMO setup.exe> /s
/v\" /qn SETUPFILE=<path to setup file>\""
i.e.:
C:\> RunAs /USER:"ADomain\Homer Simpson" "C:\Temp\setup.exe> /s /v\"
/qn SETUPFILE=C:\User\info.txt\""

Outlook 2000 Users

If you configured Outlook for Internet Only support, you must reconfigure Outlook for Corporate or Workgroup. To
reconfigure Outlook run Outlook and select the menu Options --> Mail Services and select "Reconfigure Mail Support."
You may be required to supply your Microsoft Office install CD for this operation.

58
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

End User Installation

To install Domino Access For Microsoft Outlook (DAMO), you need to know the following:
� Your Notes user name (such as jsmith)
� The IP address of your mail server
� The location of your Notes ID
During installation, you choose whether to do a single user or a multi-user install on a workstation. Note: For a
multi-user install, each person who uses the workstation must be a member of the Power Users group to be able to
select their profile when DAMO starts. Only if you have administrative rights to the Windows workstation will you have
the option to choose Single or Multi-User Installations. If you are not a member of the Windows administrator group,
you will not get the option to choose Single or Multi-User Install. The Installation will be a Single User Install.
� Single User Install -- Choose this option if you are the only one who uses the workstation. In single user
installs, the program and data files are in the same directory.
� Multi-User Install -- Choose the Multi-User Install option if more than one person uses the workstation.
Multi-user installs allow the creation of data directories specific to each user, thereby providing some
security for each.
Note: You must Configure Outlook using the steps below or Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook will not install properly.
Configure Microsoft Outlook
1. Set Microsoft Outlook as the default mail program. For example, open the Control Panel and choose Internet
Options. Select the Programs Tab - E-mail Option, and then select Microsoft Outlook. (This path may vary slightly
depending on which Windows OS you are using and how you have your system set up.)
2. If this is a new installation of Microsoft Outlook for this user, launch the client as this user to complete the
installation process of Microsoft Outlook.
a. Start - Microsoft Outlook shortcut
b. Accept the user name
c. Outlook 2k - Choose "Manually configure..." Make no more selections and click Finish
d. Outlook XP (2002) and Outlook 2003 - To the question "Would you like to configure an E-mail account?",
choose No. Click Finish.
3. While Outlook is open, select Tools - Options - Mail Services and select the option "Prompt for a profile to be
used."

Install DAMO
1. Execute the Setup Program.
2. Choose whether to install Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook for a single user (only one mail box is created) or
multiple users (each user will have their own mail box). Only if you are the Windows administrator will you see
these choices.
3. (Optional) Select Single Logon Feature to synchronize your Notes ID password with your Windows password.
When passwords are synchronized, you can change either password and the change will be made to both
passwords.
4. After the installation process is complete, you now need to create a DAMO profile. See Create a User Profile for
DAMO below.

Create a User Profile for DAMO

You cannot create a DAMO profile using the Outlook Setup Wizard. You must use the "Create New MAPI Profile"
shortcut on the start menu.
1. From the Start menu, choose Start - Programs - IBM Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook - Create New
MAPI Profile.
2. For "Your Name," enter your Domino common user name. For example, jsmith not jsmith/sales/acme.
3. For "Domino server name," enter the name or the IP address of your mail server.
4. If you installed multi-user version, and you want your Data directory to be in a different directory than your
program files, enter a path for your mail files in the "Data Directory" field. For example, c:\Documents and
Setting\jsmith\DAMOData or c:\DAMO jsmith. Tip: You can use Windows folder security settings, to
protect these folders as necessary.
5. If DAMO does not find your Notes ID in your Person Document on the Domino server, you may be prompted for
one. Type the path or Browse to locate your Notes ID.

59
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

6. (Optional) Copy your Notes ID file to your data directory. (It is always good to have a backup copy of your ID file.)
7. Your DAMO profile will be created.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

Installing Domino on UNIX and on Linux on zSeries
The Domino Administrator documentation contains the topic "Installing Domino on UNIX and on Linux on zSeries
systems." The numbered procedure in that topic should be replaced with this new procedure:

1. Copy the following Domino installation files from the CD ROM at your workstation to a Linux on zSeries file system
where it can be expanded and utilized for the installation steps. Be sure to transfer the file using a binary method.
For example, for FTP, set the transfer mode to binary. Neither the tar file nor its contents are required after
installation has completed:
� install
� install.dat
� xlinux.taz.aa
� zlinux.tax.aa.ck

Domino Web Access

Installing Domino Web Access 7.0
DWA7.NTF is our latest, feature rich template available in Domino 7. The user visible name has changed to Domino
Web Access 7. When registering users, choose Domino Web Access 7 as the mail file template.

To upgrade users, convert existing INOTES5.NTF, INOTES6.NTF and INOTES60.NTF users to DWA7.NTF using the
mail conversion utility.

This example shows how to upgrade all INOTES6 mail databases in a directory:

load convert mail\*.nsf iNotes6 dwa7.ntf

This example shows how to upgrade all INOTES5 mail databases in a directory:

load convert mail\*.nsf inotes5 dwa7.ntf

Note If you execute a convert while the server is running and someone accesses a mail file while their mail file design
is being updated, unpredictable results may occur.

New default install directory for Domino on UNIX
On UNIX platforms, the default installation directory for Domino 7 is /opt/ibm/lotus. If an installation directory is
detected during an upgrade to Domino 7, the existing installation directory is used. For previous versions of Domino,
the default directory on UNIX platforms was /opt/lotus.

Note As in previous releases, the default Domino installation directory can be modified to support any third-party
applications which may rely on a particular directory path.

Notes Client, Domino Designer, Domino Server

Notes.jar and other Java archives moved
In previous releases, Notes.jar and many of the other Notes archives were being installed into the Notes or Domino
program directory. Now, most of the Notes Java archives are being installed in a new location to take advantage of
Java's Extension Class Loading mechanism.

Notes.jar will now be installed in the Notes or Domino program directory under the jvm\lib\ext (Windows) or
jvm/lib/ext (UNIX) directories. This is Java's Extension directory, and archives copied there will be automatically
added to the classpath.

This is also the suggested way of adding external application code so it can be used by Notes or Domino java
applications.

Also starting with the 7.0 release, Notes.jar contains all the classes necessary to support access to the Domino
back-end classes through the local interface, and through the CORBA-remoted interface. Or, stated another way, the
contents of NCSO.jar have been included in Notes.jar, and if your application needs to use either style it only needs
access to Notes.jar.

NCSO.jar still ships with the 7.0 release, and it provides only the CORBA-remoted interface to the back-end classes.

Domino for i5/OS

Remove any Beta versions before installing
Before installing Domino 7 software, you must remove any beta or pre-release versions. To remove the beta or
pre-release version, make sure that all Domino servers are stopped and no users are running any Domino CL
commands (i.e., WRKDOMSVR). Enter the following command to remove any beta or pre-release version of Domino 7:

Renaming desktop icons will have to be manually deleted
After installing the Client, new desktop shortcuts will be created for the Notes, Designer, and Administrator Clients. If
you rename these desktop icons to customize them, you will need to manually delete them after uninstalling the
Client. If you are upgrading an existing install that currently has desktop shortcuts that have been renamed, the old
shortcuts will no longer work. Simply remove them from your desktop and use the newly created shortcuts.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Designer

Scriptable Client Setup & the 'AdditionalServices' variable
The Scriptable Client Setup feature provides the AdditionalServices variable to enable/disable appearance of the
'Additional Services' dialog during a new Client Setup. This variable works in conjunction with the variables for
features that are configured via the Additional Services dialog. As a result, this variable is tied to use of the related
variables (Internet Mail account, NNTP account, LDAP account, Proxy servers, and Replication).

Specifically, here are some examples of how the AdditionalServices variable works in a configuration file:
� AdditionalServices=1 --> the Additional Services dialog will always display during a new Client Setup,
regardless of other variables in the configuration file. If the configuration file contains some or all of the related
variables, the fields will display the configuration file's data value in each field. If a certain variable is missing
from the configuration file, the field will be blank. In all cases, the user can either leave the field value intact or
change the field value.
� AdditionalServices=-1 --> Setting a value of AdditionalServices = -1 (minus 1) in the config file will suppress the
additional services dialog, regardless of other variables in the configuration file.

61
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

� AdditionalServices=0 --> the AdditionalServices dialog will not display as long as sufficient configuration
information is supplied for one or more of the related variables.
Sufficient configuration information:

Scriptable Client Setup: 'File cannot be created' error
When performing a new Client Setup using the Scriptable Client Setup feature, you may receive this error:File cannot
be created. This occurs if the KeyFileName variable in the configuration file is pointing to a drive that is not
accessible on this machine. For example, if the user id file is located on a network drive and the user does not have
access to the drive, this error will result. To workaround this, either correct the drive access problem for the user or
move the user's id file to another location & update the configuration file to reflect the new path.

Scriptable Client: Setup for Roaming Users
Some special factors should be taken into consideration when using the Scriptable Client Setup feature for Roaming
Users. Because the Roaming User is configured to store many settings in their roaming databases, some Scriptable
Client Setup variables may not be ideal for use in combination with Roaming Users. Below are some examples:
� It is recommended that the KeyFileName variable not be used for Roaming User Client Setups. This variable is
used to point to a specific user's ID file. Since the Roaming User's ID file is stored in their roaming address book,
the id file will be automatically pulled from this roaming database during a Client Setup. As a result, this variable
is irrelevant for Roaming User Client Setups.
� There are unique issues for Roaming Users who have an NNTP or IMAP Internet Account, as described in the "
Roaming Users with NNTP or IMAP Internet Accounts" release note. Please reference this release note for
specific details before including these account types in a Script that will be used for Roaming Users.
� If the network dialup account information differs on each user's machine, use of the NetworkDial.* variables
should be well thought out to assure the values will work on all machines for the user. Specifically, if the user has
a Windows Client & a Macintosh Client, network dialup for the Internet Accounts will not work on both machines
for this user (network dialup is not supported on Macintosh). In addition, if the dialup phonebook name is not
identical on all machines, dialup may fail because it cannot locate the phonebook entry.
� If you fail to set the Replication.Schedule variable to 1 for a first time Roaming User Client Setup, replication will
not be enabled for this roaming user. As a result, the user's local files will not automatically replicate to the
server on launch & exit of the Notes Client. To work around this, the user can edit their location document(s),
enable replication, & enable the 'Replicate when Notes starts' and 'Prompt to replicate when Notes shuts down'
options.

Scriptable Client: Setup & deployment to multiple users
Some special factors should be taken into consideration when using the Scriptable Client Setup feature. Because this
feature can be used to roll out a standard configuration to multiple users, care should be taken when using certain
variables. Below are some examples:

� It is recommended that the KeyFileName variable not be used unless the configuration file is intended for one
specific user. This variable is used to point to a specific user's ID file. As a result, if the configuration file is used
to standardize Client Setup for many users, this variable does not apply.
� It is recommended that the Mail.Incoming.Username and Mail.Incoming.Password variables not be used unless
the configuration file is intended for one specific user. These variables are unique to each user. As a result, if the
configuration file is used to standardize Client Setup for many users, these variables do not apply.
� It is recommended that the NetworkDial.EntryName, NetworkDial.Username and NetworkDial.Password
variables not be used unless the configuration file is intended for one specific user. The NetworkDial.EntryName
must be exact to the phonebook entry on the users' machines. If the dialup phonebook name is not identical on
all users' machines, dialup may fail for some users because it cannot locate the phonebook entry. The
NetworkDial.Username and NetworkDial.Password are unique to each user. As a result, if the configuration file
is used to standardize Client Setup for many users, these variables do not apply.

It is suggested that administrators use a transform to hide this install option.

Workaround
If a user is in this situation the following can be done to all the end user to successfully uninstall the end user
installation:

1. Make a backup copy of the network share

2. Temporarily grant the end user full control of the read-only network share
� This will allow the uninstall to successfully complete as it's failing on the removal or a few shared
network files
3. End user completes a successful uninstall
4. Remove the temporary access
5. Restore the backup copy of the network share

Tips for using Tuner6 for Client installs
The following tips will help you use transforms to install your Notes client:

� Do not select the "AllUsers" value for the 'ApplicationUsers' property when creating an MST file based on the
AllClient kit; otherwise, you will get an installation error. Installing the AllClient kit for AllUsers is not supported.

� Add custom files into the "Node" folder when installing the Notes Client via shared node installation. Do not just
drag custom files to the destination folder in the transform, but also copy them manually to the Data directory in
the Administrator client installation. After using this MST file to install the Notes client on the node machine, the
custom files are copied to the correct place.

� If you are including a space in the MST file name, the following command must be written in this format:

setup.exe /s /v"transforms=\"Lotus Notes 7.0.mst\""

When migrating groups using LDAP DUS, if the groups contain a Double-Byte English, Chinese, or Japanese named
person, and the person entry is not migrated with the group together (e.g., the person entry doesn't really exist in the
original directory, or you removed the person entry in the "People/groups to migrate" list during migration ), then after
migrating to the new Domino server, the person's name in the group will show incorrectly, as shown below. You may
also encounter this problem if you have other Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS)-named person entries.

Domino Access for Outlook

Internet Access and the Outlook Express Migration tool
The Outlook Express migration tool uses short names to connect to the server. In order to use this tool, you must
make sure of the proper internet access settings in the Server Document, under the Security tab.
In the Internet Access section, select: Internet authentication: More name variations with lower security
This will allow Outlook Express users to use the Migration tool and connect to the Notes Mail Server.

Domino Access for Outlook

Migrating from Exchange to Domino
Use the following step-by-step instructions to migrate users and their mail files from Microsoft Exchange to Lotus
Domino using the Domino Migration Tool.

Prerequisites and requirements

� You must have an admin.id and a cert.id for the Domino server.
� You must set up an Administrator profile in Outlook for the Exchange server.
� Microsoft Exchange must be installed as a Foreign Directory Source (part of the Administrator install).
� You must use the Extended Mail Template (Mail6ex.ntf) for all migrated Domino mail files.

Migration tips
When migrating very long distribution lists (i.e., several hundred users) in the address fields (such as the To, CC or
bcc fields), the distribution list may be truncated or missing altogether when viewed in the Notes or DAMO client. The
distribution list truncates after 768K, and depending on the amount of system memory available, the distribution list
may be empty. The latter issue is an Exchange restriction, and is intermittent.

Make sure users have not renamed the standard Outlook folders in their Exchange mail file prior to migrating from
Exchange to Domino. If a user renames a standard Outlook folder, the data in that folder may not migrate correctly.
The standard Outlook folders are: Calendar, Contacts, Drafts, Inbox, Journal, Notes, Outbox, Sent Items, and Tasks.
For example, if a user renamed the Outlook folder Inbox to "MyFavoriteInbox," the messages in the "MyFavoriteInbox"
folder would not display and function properly after migration.

Contacts migrated from an Exchange mail file to Domino will appear in the Contacts view, but will not be migrated to
a separate .nsf file as in previous releases. A document with the subject "Exchange contacts have been migrated to
Domino" will appear in the All Documents view instructing the user how to replicate the Contacts to a local Personal
Name and Address book.

If the body of an Outlook message in RTF format has been corrupted, the body is converted as text only when the mail
file is migrated from Exchange to Domino. In this case, some attachments present in the Outlook message may not be
present after migration, when viewed through the Notes or Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook client.
Installation
Start the Domino Administrator Client, then follow these steps to migrate users and their associated mail stores from
Exchange to Domino.
1. From the Domino Administrator client, select the People and Groups tab.
2. From the Tools pane, click People, and then click Register - Migrate People.
3. When the Migrate People dialog opens, select Microsoft Exchange Users from the Foreign Directory Source.
4. When prompted, enter the profile of the administrator for the Exchange server from which you are migrating.
5. From the drop-down list of Exchange users, select all users to migrate and add to the People and Groups to
Migrate list, then select Migrate button. Note that you can modify the migration options (for example, you can
elect not to have a password created), or simply use the default settings.
6. Click Done. The entire list is added to the registration queue in the Register Person dialog.
7. In the Register Person dialog, click Register All. When you do this, all users are added to the Domino Directory
(public Name & Address Book) and their mail files migrated.

Convert Microsoft Exchange addresses to Domino addresses

After migrating all users, ensure that all addresses are converted from Exchange to Notes canonical format (such as
CN=John Smith/OU=Sales/O=Acme), using the Mail Convert tool. Note that this tool only converts the addresses of
Microsoft Exchange users who exist in the Domino Directory. If you continue to migrate smaller groups, run this tool
each time a group is migrated.
Complete the following steps to convert Microsoft Exchange addresses to valid Domino addresses:
1. For the address conversion process to work correctly, the cache for NAB entries on the Domino Server which is
used for Exchange Mail to Domino migration must be current. Perform the following task on the Domino Server
Console to make sure the cache is updated and current:

tell router q
load updall <Domino Address Book> (e.g., 'load updall names.nsf')
load router
2. To perform the address conversion on all migrated mail files on the Domino Server (in the \mail subdirectory),
type the following on the Domino Server Console:
load convert -w mail\*.nsf

Other available commands

load convert -w <specific mail file path>
Use this command to run the Address Fix on a specified migrated mail file. For example: load convert -w
mail\chair.nsf

load convert -w -l <text list file path>

load convert -w -l c:\tmp\mailfilelist.txt
Use the first command to generate a text list file with all migrated primary mail file paths on the server, excluding any
replica mail databases. You can then run the Address Fix by using the second command with that text file.

load convert -w -f <text list file path>

Use this command to run the Address Fix on all migrated mail files listed in the specified text file. For example: load
convert -w -f c:\tmp\mailfilelist.txt

Exchange to Domino Migration." For a complete list of Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook issues, including
migration issues, see the release note "Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook issues."

Upgrade notes

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Server

Flat names and ID files are not supported in Domino and Notes 7
Notes 7 and Domino 7 do not support flat name and flat ID usage, renewal, or registration. As you upgrade to 7.0,
you should convert all flat names to hierarchical names. IBM Lotus will continue to support flat names in Release 6 at
the level at which they are currently supported. However, there are no plans to extend existing functionality that
requires hierarchical names to flat names, and new features continue to be added that depend solely on hierarchical
naming. Furthermore, future functional releases of Notes and Domino will have limited interoperability with users and
server with flat names and ID files.
Continuing to use flat names prevents you from using many of the new features in Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino 6
and 7, including the Domino Administration Process, which simplifies many administrative tasks. Using flat names
makes it difficult to exchange information securely with users and servers in a different organization. With flat names,
each user or server in one organization must be individually certified by the certifier ID in the other organization.
Organizations that use flat names often use several certifier IDs and each user ID and server ID can include a separate
certificate generated by each flat certifier ID.
For more information on converting flat names, see the topic "Converting flat names to hierarchical names" in the
Domino Administrator 7 Help.

Online Help after upgrade of Notes, Admin Client, and Designer
If you have upgraded to the Gold version of Lotus Notes 7, Domino Designer 7 or Domino Administrator Client 7, and
you have not removed a previous beta build of Notes/Domino 7, you should take the following actions to ensure your
local help databases will be full-text indexed properly:

Take these actions from the Application UI:

1. Open Help.
2. Select the File menu, Properties
3. On the Database Properties dialog, click the Full Text tab (magnifying glass)
4. Click the Delete button.
5. If there was a full-text index from a older Notes/Domino 7 help file, it will be deleted.
6. If there was no full-text index, you will be notified with a message dialog (no harm done).
7. Close the Database Properties dialog
8. Recreate your Help file Index from the Help application, if desired.

Or, take these actions from Windows Explorer:

1. Navigate to your Data folder
2. Open the Help folder within the Data folder
3. If present, delete the folder with the same name as your Help database, with an extension of ".ft."
This folder contains the files for the full text index of your Help database.
4. Recreate your Help file Index from the Help application, if desired.

The Help (User Assistance) databases are named per the software release version (e.g., for Notes/Domino 7, the name
of the Notes Client help database is help7_client.nsf). If you are upgrading from a previous version of Notes, Domino
Administrator Client, or Domino Designer, your new Help database will not be full-text indexed until you take this
action.

Domino for i5/OS

Sametime customization saved to STLINKS.SAV 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 7.0. This directory 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 to release 7.0, 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 potentially customized settings.

The server upgrade process occurs:

- 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.

SmartUpgrade Web kits command line options
To accommodate customers who require access to the install kits that are bundled into the self-extracting executable
files that make up the Web kits, we have modified the default behavior of extracting the executable files from the Web
kits. The Web kits now prompt you for a temporary location in which to store the extracted files. This change may have
a negative impact on existing automated install methods, for example, it may cause SmartUpgrade to fail.

You can prevent this change to the install kits from impacting your current install methods by preventing the Web kits
from issuing the prompt for a temporary location.

From the Domino command line, use the command line option:
-px or /px

For example enter

setup.exe -px
Or
setup.exe /px

When the install finishes, the Web kits no longer automatically delete the extracted files from the temporary
directory. To remove extracted files, from the Domino command line, use the command line option
-d or /d to

For example
setup.exe /d /px

Recommended that /etc/security/limits be modified for each Domino Server Partition userid (domsrv in this example)
to the following values:

domsrv:
fsize = -1
core = -1
data = -1
rss = -1
stack = -1
nofiles = -1

Make these be "unlimited" for the userid and Domino Server programs.

Domino Server
Domino for Linux on x86 configuration
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 zSeries 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.

For these limits to be respected following logon, insure the following line is in the appropriate pam.d login file:

session required /lib/security/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. Otherwise, on the occasion that Domino is started from a login session, the file descriptor limit will be
inadequate.

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

Kernel values modified by Domino

In addition to the above, other Linux kernel value changes are needed for large scale Domino environments. Unlike
the per-process filehandle limit, which must be modified before logon of the Domino user id, these values can be
modified by Domino itself. At startup, a program named "tunekrnl" runs with root authority and sets these values in
the /proc filesystem. Once set, these /proc values will not change until Linux is (re)booted, at which time they revert
to their default values. The exception to this is "mapped_base", which is a process-local setting made at each Domino
startup. The "tunekrnl" log of /proc filesystem changes tends to vary from many (following a Linux boot) to few
(subsequent Domino startups). The kernel values modified by "tunekrnl" are:

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. Otherwise, on the occasion that Domino is started from a login session, the file descriptor limit will be
inadequate.

Kernel values modified by Domino

In addition to the above, other Linux kernel value changes are needed for large scale Domino environments. Unlike
the per-process filehandle limit, which must be modified before logon of the Domino user id, these values can be
modified by Domino itself. At startup, a program named "tunekrnl" runs with root authority and sets these values in
the /proc filesystem. Once set, these /proc values will not change until Linux is (re)booted, at which time they revert
to their default values. The exception to this is "mapped_base", which is a process-local setting made at each Domino
startup. The "tunekrnl" log of /proc filesystem changes tends to vary from many (following a Linux boot) to few
(subsequent Domino startups). The kernel values modified by "tunekrnl" are:

Swap configuration for Linux on zSeries

SLES8 (31-bit) supports up to 2 Gigabytes of memory; a Domino server supporting thousands of users will typically
require more than 2 Gigabytes of memory, causing swapping to occur in this environment. At least 1 Gigabyte should
be allocated as a swap "disk", however actually swapping to disk (DASD) hinders performance. One mechanism to
keep swapping within system memory is XPRAM. The following general steps are an example of the configuration of 1
Gigabyte of XPRAM for Linux on zSeries in a native environment:

1. Configure at least 1 Gigabyte extended memory from the hardware console. Linux on zSeries will automatic
detect that.
2. Configure the xpram driver.
3. The following Linux commands set swap space 1G from a 3G partition that was made into a file system and
mounted off of the xpram_fs directory:

insmod xpram devs=1 sizes=2000000

mkswap /dev/slram0
swapon /dev/slram
4. Make sure the xpram swap has higher priority than other disk swap.
5. Note that these settings will disappear on a reboot. To keep them active, place these commands into
/etc/init.d/boot.local

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 Server
Domino for Solaris configuration
/tmp must be configured as TMPFS (this is the default configuration for Solaris 9). In addition, the following line
must be added (or modified if already set) to the /etc/system file:

set rlim_fd_max=65536

This is the minimum required value - higer values are supported. As root, make the change as specified above, and
then reboot the system.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Designer, Domino Server

Domino memory pre-allocation configuration
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,
we will immediately allocate/map in our 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 we 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 we 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.

73
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

In order for this new code to work, we had to enable the sub-allocation of shared memory when pre-allocation is
turned on (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, we create shared memory as large
"segments" and then sub-allocate our 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 we will then create our memory allocations out of it based on our 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 our 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 our 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 our 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 we see as "addressable".
Without this set there is still a default limit in place of 4GB and with the setting enabled more realistic values are
used.

7. The variable "MEM_AddressableMemSizeMB=VALUE" can be used to override our default setting for the amount of
memory Domino will see as "addressable" memory (where VALUE is in megabytes, and the default varies by platform).

8. There is now a variable on UNIX to enable using "mmap" for shared memory - "MEM_EnableMmap=1". This is on
by default on Solaris only and is not presently supported on any other platform (minimal testing has been done on
Linux x86).

9. There is now a variable to specify the location for where Domino will place "mmap" shared memory files -
"MEM_Mmap_Location=FOO" where FOO is the absolute path to the new location. This variable is only valid for
platforms running with "mmap" shared memory.

Domino Server Controller configuration
For Domino 7, the server controller TCP/IP address and the port number should be specified in the server's NAB.

Once the server has been set up, open the server record in the NAB. In the server document, look for the tab "Server
Controller" under Ports -> Internet Ports. There, you can edit the TCP/IP address and the TCP/IP port number for the
server controller of your server.

If you don't edit these fields, the TCP/IP address defaults to be the same as the server's TCP/IP address, and the
TCP/IP port number defaults to 2050. Save, and then restart the server one time without the server controller, so that
it will create the admindata.xml file for this server in the data directory.

Now you can bring down the server and start the server under the Server Controller as you normally do.

Domino for i5/OS

Hardware Cryptography Support
This release note describes how to set up and use hardware cryptography (System SSL) with Domino for i5/OS. This
SSL can only be used with Domino HTTP at this time.

System Requirements
� 5722-SS1 Option 34, Digital Certificate Manager
� 5722-DG1, IBM HTTP Server for iSeries
� 5722-AC2, Crypto Access Provider 56-bit for AS/400 or 5722-AC3, Crypto Access Provider 128-bit for
AS/400

Hardware Setup
In order to use hardware cryptography (via System SSL) for i5/OS, you must have the hardware cryptography cards
correctly installed and configured. At the writing of this document, Domino for i5/OS supports the 4758 Cryptographic
Coprocessor and 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator hardware. The latest Cryptographic Hardware documentation can be
found in the IBM eServer iSeries Information Center (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/infocenter.html)
under Networking->Networking Security.

A white paper is available with step-by-step instructions on configuring System SSL for Domino HTTP. The white paper
is considered an extension of this release note and is highly recommended. This also covers basic setup of the 2058
Cryptographic Accelerator. The white paper is available on the Web at
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/web/domino/pdf/crypto.pdf.

Further information on configuring the 4758 Cryptographic Coprocessor can be found in the Redbook "iNotes Web
Access on the IBM eServer iSeries Server" (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246553.pdf). See
sections 3.2.4 to 3.2.6.

Further information about System SSL and hardware cryptography in general are available in the Redbook "IBM
eServer iSeries Wired Network Security: OS/400 V5R1 DCM and Cryptography Enhancements" (
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246168.pdf).

Create or Obtain a Certificate for Domino

A certificate to be used by SSL is usually purchased from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Optionally you can
create your own certificate for testing purposes by creating your own local CA on the server. Certificate configuration is
done with the HTTP *ADMIN server, using the DCM section. Please refer to the DCM redbook for these procedures.

Assign an Application ID for Domino

Domino for i5/OS uses an 'Application ID' (AID) to access the certificate created using the DCM. Refer to the white
paper or redbook for creating a new AID. Domino servers on the same system can use the same AID or their own AID.
Use the following for the "Add Application" screen:

Application ID: It is recommend to use DOMINO or the name of your Domino server (ex: MYSERVER). This name will
need to be added to NOTES.INI in a later step, so write it down.

Application User Profile: Enter QNOTES. You can choose to enable the CA Trust List and authentication options in the
same table if needed. This will give Domino access to the SSL keys.

Application Description: Choose this option instead of Message File, and enter your own description, such as "Domino
Server MYSERVER."

Leave the Exit Program and Message File/ID sections blank and decide which authentication options are needed.

Domino Setup

NOTES.INI Variables
The following are the NOTES.INI variables that can be set for using System SSL. The variables that have ‘Y’ under the
REQ? column must be set in order to use System SSL.
NOTES.INI VARIABLE NAME REQ? DESCRIPTION
SYSTEM_SSL_HTTP=1 Y Tells Domino to use the System SSL API instead
of SSLPlus for HTTP
SYSTEM_SSL_APPLICATION_ID=MYSERVER Y The Application ID created in DCM for this
Domino server
SYSTEM_SSL_TIMEOUT=30000 N The number of seconds until the SSL V3.0
session identifier expires. The range is 0-86400
(1 day) seconds. System SSL will remember SSL
V3.0 session identifiers for up to this amount of
time. By remembering these SSL V3.0 session
identifiers, the amount of data exchanged during
the SSL handshake can be reduced for peer
applications where a complete initial handshake
has already been performed. The default is
30000 seconds (8 hours)

Domino SSL Setup

Now you can set up SSL on the Domino server just as you normally would following the instructions in the Domino
Help database. There is nothing specific to System SSL that you need to do. Once you set up SSL on Domino, you
should have a Domino key file and stash file.

Note The Domino key and stash SSL files, used by protocols other than HTTP, are different from the i5/OS system key
files used in the example above. Whenever Domino asks for a key file or stash file name, always provide the Domino
key or stash file names.

Additional Notes
� The System SSL API does not support the thread pool model. System SSL can only be enabled for HTTP.
Therefore, all other Internet protocols (such as POP3, IMAP) will use the software SSL library, SSLPlus, as
they always have.
� The System SSL API has limited CRL support. Domino has it’s own CRL storage process, and since System
SSL only supports Tivoli PKI Trust Authority, CRLs cannot be used at this time.
� System SSL and SSLPlus only support SSL V3. SSLPlus (the current SSL package) only supports V2 on z/OS
for Domino 7. Likewise, System SSL only uses the SSL V3 protocol.

Domino for i5/OS

Java JVM property settings on a per Domino server basis
A new property in the NOTES.INI file can be used to specify JVM Properties for the Domino server. This new 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.

76
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 2 - Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information

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

PGMApp.debug=0

PGMApp.serverName=Server1

Notes Client
Notes' Sametime client identifier has been updated
When the Notes client logs into a Sametime server it sends an ID value that identifies the client type. As of the current
milestone build, the identifier that the Notes client sends has been updated from 0x1200 to 0x1210. This will allow
Sametime administrators to more accurately track client usage and to enable/disable various clients, if desired.

Previous Domino Domain Monitor database needs to be deleted
If you already have a Domino Domain Monitor database (DDM.NSF) from a previous Domino 7 beta release, before you
upgrade to Domino 7 (non-beta), delete the beta copy of DDM.NSF and allow the current release of Domino 7 to create
a new Domino Domain Monitor database on all of your servers. You should also delete all Probe configuration
documents before you upgrade from a beta release of Domino 7.

Rooms & Resource databases require Administrator configuration
With the new Rooms & Resources Manager (RnRMgr) and the Rooms & Resource system design for Domino 7, it is
now possible to have replicas of a Rooms & Resource (R&R) database on multiple servers. In order for R&R requests
to be properly processed in a clustered environment, the Administrator must update the R&R database to indicate to
the template the "Home Server" for that database. This is done by using the Administration Server setting for the
database.

After creation, or after upgrading a pre-existing R&R database to use the Domino 7 template, the Administrator must
set the Administration Server setting for the database to be the server where all administrative actions are to be
performed. This includes defining new Sites, new rooms or resources or renaming a room or resource. Without this
setting, the Administrator will be prohibited from performing R&R administration in the database that could cause
RnRMgr or the background Agents to have processing problems later on.

To set the Administration server, this the Administrator simply opens the database using the Notes client and selects
File / Database / Access Control from the menus. Then select the Advanced tab on the dialog that appears. The first
item on that tab is Administration server. Simply set that to the name of the server where the database exists and
click OK.

Domino Server, Domino for z/OS

z/OS Configuration Settings
Most install problems can be fixed by verifying that the recommended values in the Domino 7 for z/OS Install Guide are
being used and that you have all of the required service applied. Run the latest version of the PTF Checker tool
from the WEB. You should check the WEB page often for updates. The values specified in the Install Guide must be
set before setting up the Domino server. Some changes may not become effective until an IPL is done. Read the
appropriate z/OS publication to verify which parameters require an IPL. The following is a list of the most common
install problem areas:

Problem areas
� IEASYSxx. For optimal Domino performance it is extremely important that ESQA and ECSA settings be kept to a
minimum. Keeping ESQA and ECSA to a minimum will provide maximum virtual addresses in all Domino address
spaces. A good general starting point for Domino is to set both ECSA and ESQA to 65 MB and no larger than
100MB.

For each server with a different progrma directory, plan for an additional 10 megabytes of ESQA. Both Domino
memory mapped files and user shared library (SHRLIBMAXPAGES) consume ESQA storage.

We recommend you monitor the ECSA and ESQA size before and after you have installed the latest level of the
Domino code for any additional tuning. Based on your own configuration, you will probably have to tune this
value for your own environment. As with all other applications that run on z/OS, you should monitor your CSA,
ECSA, SQA, and ESQA usage on a regular basis. You can do this by reviewing your RMF reports.

See the z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference, SA22-7592, for additional information on the CSA and SQA
parameters in your SYS1.PARMLIB IEASYS member.

� BPXPRMxx values. BPXPRMxx values must be set exactly as specified in the Domino 7 for z/OS Install Guideunless
a formula is given. These values must be set before setting up the Domino server.
If you use the SETOMVS command to set parameters, they only remain at that value until the next IPL. To set a
parameter permanently, update the BPXPRMxx member used during IPL, or have the SET command run after
each IPL. This can be done by putting it in as a command in COMMNDxx PARMLIB member. Some changes may
not become effective until an IPL is done. Read the appropriate z/OS publication to verify which parameters
require an IPL.

To verify you have the correct settings, Issue the following UNIX System Services command to verify BPXPRMxx
values:

dom_verify_os

To display the current BPXPARM settings and high water mark usage issue the following commands:

D OMVS,O
D OMVS,LIMITS

� COMMNDxx
Ensure you have the following command in your parmlib member and is set prior to running the Server

Ensure high-level-qualifier.SCEERUN2 is cataloged and available on your driving System.

Ensure high-level-qualifier.SCEERUN2 is in your PROGxx or LNKLSTxx concatenation
Verify successful execution of the following command:

� The install process requires your Language to be set to C.

The install should be run with the system Language set to use the default C language. If it is not, unpredictable
results may occur.

To verify the Language, issue the following: echo $LANG

The response should be: C
If the value is not C, remember the value displayed and change the language by issuing the following: export
LANG=C.

Prior to starting the server, set the LANG variable back to its original value by issuing the following:
export LANG=<original value>

� Auxilliary Storage and Shared Library Support

If running out of auxilliary storage or experiencing a negative performance change after installing a new libnotes
DLL or a new Domino server program directory, then you should check both the libnotes DLL extended
attributes and SYS1.PARMLIB(BPXPARMxx) SHRLIBRGNSIZE value.

Each additional server program directory requires that the SHRLIBRGNSIZE value be increased. See the
Domino 6.5.2 for z/OS Install Guide.

To verify the libnotes extended attribute for system shared library is set, issue the following command:

ls -E libnotes

You will see the following display:

-rwxr-xr-x --sl 1 INSTALL NOTES 50556928 Sep 20 23:12 libnotes

Note that l in --sl above indicates that the shared library extended attribute is on.

If the shared library extended attribute is not on for libnotes, you will need to turn it on with a userid authorized
to the BPX.FILEATTR.SHARELIB RACF Facility Class. Use the following command to turn on the system shared
library extended attribute (note that +l is lower case L):

Rename of user through User Security panel, via mail
Users who request a rename through the User Security panel via mail should make sure that the administrator uses
adminp to process the request. If the administrator does not, and the user is a roaming user, the roaming users' files
will not be able to replicate back to the server after accepting the name change. Thus any changes incurred locally
will not be pushed and pulled to other machines the user roams to/from.
If the administrator does not use the adminp process, then they should update the ACLs on the roaming users' files as
well as the users' mail file to avoid this situation.

'Print calendar to a document' causes different line indenting
When using the "Print calendar to a document" option, due to differences in monitor and printer resolutions, the first
line indentation of a Subject will be offset from the rest of the calendar notice information.

When using the "weekly style" calendar option, the second and subsequent lines of data will be displayed to the left
side of the entry. A workaround for this situation is to print the calendar to a document, and use the "calendar list" -
calendar style to set the correct date range to receive the same weekly data as using the weekly style. The steps to
accomplish this are below:
1. Select File -> Print
2. Under 'What to Print' select "Print calendar to a document"
3. Under Calendar style select "Calendar List"
4. Under Print Range select the correct from and to dates that correspond to your week.

In mail files for which an archive policy is in place, if that policy includes enabled criteria, the client may crash on
attempt to perform a Tools -> Calendar Cleanup. Additionally, it is possible to crash the server on which the mailfile

Note that Calendar Cleanup will not crash in a mail file that uses local archive criteria -- the problem only occurs with
criteria that come from an archive policy. Archive policies that don't include enabled criteria -- e.g., an archive policy
that sets the new maximum retention limit -- will not interfere with calendar cleanup.

Repeating meetings not automatically accepted on Domino 6 router
If a user is on a Domino 6 server, but has a Notes 7 client and template, the new option "Automatically accept even if

forward incompatibility and is not recommended. Users must be on an Domino 7 router (server) in order for this
feature to work correctly.

QV fails to return expected error in pre-r7 or non-DB2 server
There is a case that the expected error message fails to be returned when query view is opened in older version of
Notes client or non-DB2 server.

1. Database is on DB2-enabled server

2. Query view shows only selected docs, e.g."Select * from db.dav where field='value'". Also view selection formula
shows a different set of docs - I used default "Select @All"
3. Using older version of client, a copy or replica of the database is created on a non-DB2 enabled N/D 7 server.
4. Query view is opened in older version of client

Instead of returning the error message, the query view is opened in older version of Notes. The query does not
execute, instead the view shows docs based on the view selection formula. Same problem occurs if the db is copied
locally and opened with older version of client.

DB2 issues

Notes Client
Archive and calendar cleanup can't be used on DB2-enabled mail
This issue is related to the "Compact -a and -A will not work on DB2 enabled servers" document in these release notes.

Please note that archiving and calendar cleanup use compact. Neither will work on DB2-enabled Domino servers, and
servers may crash when compact is called through an archiving or calendar cleanup function.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

Domino and DB2: Compact -B delays Domino server shutdown
When Compact -B is used in a Domino and DB2 environment, DB2 begins reorganizing tables while attempting to
reduce tablespace size. This can prevent the Domino server from shutting down cleanly. The Domino server does not
shut down while a DB2 table reorganization is running.

LNDFR.NSF not supported as DB2-enabled Notes database
The Domino Administrator 7 documentation contains the topic "Databases not supported as DB2 enabled Notes

Query views cannot be used with Depositor-level access
Users with Depositor access to a DB2-enabled Notes database cannot see any records (including Notes records and

because query views always perform full rebuilds when the view is opened, and Depositors do not have permission to
perform this action.

General Domino Domain Monitoring (DDM) information
Following is general information regarding the new Domino Domain Monitoring (DDM) feature:
� DDM is an IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 7 feature only. Prior releases of Notes/Domino do not support DDM
functionality. All DDM Probe, Filter, and Server Collection Hierarchy configuration should be performed using a
Notes 7 Client and use of the Domino Domain Monitor database is only supported using a Notes 7 Client.
� The Domino Domain Monitor database (ddm.nsf) is not supported for use via browsers for the Notes/Domino 7
release. This database must be viewed & used via the Notes Client, Domino Administrator Client, or Domino
Designer Client.

� If upgrading from an earlier beta release of Domino 7, here is the recommended procedure for updating DDM
Configuration in your domain:
� before upgrading your domain, it is very important to delete all existing DDM Probe documents, DDM Filter
documents, and Server Collection Hierarchies in the Monitoring Configuration database. These documents
are highly likely to be stale and could result in DDM functionality problems in your domain. Allow time for
the deletion of these documents to replicate throughout your domain before proceeding.
� when upgrading servers to Domino 7, be sure to delete the Domino Domain Monitor database (ddm.nsf) on
all servers. This database will be automatically re-created upon launching each Domino 7 server.
� replace design of both the Monitoring Configuration (events4.nsf) and Domino Domain Monitor (ddm.nsf)
databases, so that they include the most current template code
� create/configure new DDM Probe documents, DDM Filter documents, and Server Collection Hierarchies in
the Monitoring Configuration database
� the Domino Domain Monitoring database will quickly populate with results, based on your newly created
configuration

� When installing a Multiple User Install, you will need to launch Notes Minder from the program directory. The
shortcut for Notes Minder that appears in the Start Menu currently isn't working.
� You can now upgrade an existing 4.x and 5.x Single Client Notes install to a Multiple User install if you have
Administrative rights to the machine. Be aware that this just preserves and renames the NOTES.INI, and leaves
behind your old data directory. You will need to run through setup again and manually move any old data you
wish to reuse. For an existing Lotus Notes 7 Client, you can also perform this procedure for Windows XP and

Notes Single logon restrictions
This release note explains the Notes Single Logon restrictions for the following:
� Machine name cannot equal OS login name with Notes single logon
� Operating system (OS) and Domino password policies
� Location of the NOTES.INI file and Notes user ID file

Machine name cannot equal OS login name with Notes single logon
Domino/Notes Client Single Logon feature does not work when the OS login name is identical to the machine name,
and you are logging on using the OS name. If Client Single Logon is not working properly on your system, change your
OS login user name or your machine name.
For information on how to change either name, refer to your Microsoft Windows documentation, or see your Network
Administrator.

Note This release note applies to all Domino/Notes releases that support Client Single Logon.

Operating system (OS) and Domino password policies

During OS password changes, the Notes Network Provider must be able to change the Notes ID to the new password
provided by the OS. Notes is notified of the new OS password only after the OS password has been changed. If the
new OS password does not meet the Notes password quality and history requirements, the Notes password change
will fail.

During Notes password changes, the Notes Client must be able to change the OS password to the new Notes
password. If the new Notes password does not meet the OS password quality and history requirements, the OS
password change will fail.

OS and Domino password policies must be aligned as closely as possible to allow password synchronization to work.

Location of the NOTES.INI file and Notes user ID file

For bidirectional password synchronization, the Notes Network Provider must be able to access a user's NOTES.INI file
and Notes ID file. The table below shows the required location for the NOTES.INI file:

Install Type Location

Single User The NOTES.INI file must exist in the Notes directory as specified in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key.
Multi-user The NOTES.INI file must be specified in the HKEY_USERS registry key:
("<sid>\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes\6.0\NotesIniPath")

Operating system (OS) password changes, that is, password changes that are initiated outside of IBM Lotus Notes,
occur in the system access control environment; therefore, the NOTES.INI file and the Notes ID file must reside on a
local drive.

Workaround
To locate suspect URLs, manually open the request logs and search for incomplete requests, or use a tool such as

Mail issues

Notes Client, Domino Server

New archive criteria type won't work if db is on earlier server
In Domino 7, when users create archive criteria, they can opt to select documents "older than" (i.e., by create date)
some number of days/months/years. This option is only available to Domino 7 clients; clients earlier than Domino 7
will allow selection only by modified/accessed date, expiration date, or selected by user.

However, criteria of this selection type also require that the database to be archived from is on a Domino 7 system
(locally on a Domino 7 client, or on a Domino 7 server). In cases where this is not true, any criteria based on "older
than" will not execute. Any/all other enabled criteria will continue to run.

Because of the large number of paths that archiving can take (e.g., processing done on client vs. server, on a client or
server schedule vs. manually initiated, out of current replica vs. out of named source, etc.), users will not receive any
errors if an "older than" criteria fails.

Therefore, "older than" should not be used as an archive selection type in an environment where users may have
database replicas on servers earlier than Domino 7.

General Setup and Desktop Policies information
Below is some general information regarding Setup Settings & Desktop Settings that are deployed via Policies:
� An R5.0x Notes Client does not support any Policy functionality, even if the mail server is running Domino 7.
� When upgrading to the latest Domino 7 release, please replace the design of the Domino Directory so that it
includes the most current template code.
� If the error: Document not signed displays, the likely cause is an unsigned Settings or Policy document. To
resolve this, open the Domino Directory and edit, then re-save each Settings and Policy document. Another
alternative is to delete all Settings and Policies documents and create new ones.
� To add links (folder, database, document, URL, etc.) to the "Bookmarks to merge with users' bookmarks" outline
in a Desktop Settings document, simply drag and drop items from the title bar onto the bookmark outline. If you
are rolling out a more complex bookmark hierarchy, including the use of folders, you may find it easiest to create

Setup & Desktop Policies on a shared Notes Client
Because Setup & Desktop Settings are applied to the user's Personal Address Book, Bookmarks, and NOTES.INI file
(user preference settings), several users who share one Notes Client (& data directory) will be unable to have policies
applied correctly. This occurs because these local databases can only contain one set of Policies data. If users with
different Policies assigned share the same Notes Client, they will have problems receiving the correct Policy settings
when they switch id's to use the Client.

One workaround for this would be to consider using the new Notes Multiple User Client feature. This allows users to
share the Notes program files, but have their own personal data directories - all on one machine. The feature is
limited to the Notes-only Client license. But, it is a great way to allow for the sharing of one machine/one Notes
Client, but also allow users to have their own personal Notes files.

Roaming User upgrade not supported via Passthru server
Roaming User upgrade is not supported on a Client that is configured to access the Roaming server via a passthru
server. If a user with this configuration has initiated a Roaming upgrade, they will receive a prompt to upgrade to
Roaming on that Notes Client. They should decline the upgrade on this machine to prevent configuration problems.
The user can successfully upgrade on other Notes Clients that access the Roaming server directly.

LDAP using SASL authentication doesn't fail-over to Anonymous
Normally, Internet Client Certificate authentication from the Notes Client does fail over to Anonymous, over SSL, when
the authentication settings are set to "Client Certificate: Yes", "Name & Password: No", "Anonymous: Yes" in the server
document Ports -> Internet Ports -> Directory, or LDAP internet site document.

However, when the Notes Client uses SASL settings, the Notes Client tells the server that it would like to use Client
Certificate authentication; when this is the case and no Internet Client Certificate is present in the notes.id file, the
server is unable to authenticate the user, and will not allow them to search the directory anonymously either.

Gemplus Smartcard causes error message on login
The error message "Incomplete or incorrect smartcard configuration" occurs when, after one user has logged in to
Notes with a Smartcard-enabled ID, logs out, and then another user changes location and tries to log in to Notes with
a different Smartcard-enabled ID. A second attempt to enter the PIN will result in "Smartcard device error. Please
remove and then re-insert your smartcard".

This problem occurs because of a bug in the Gemplus 4.1 libraries.

Workaround
Remove and then re-insert the Smartcard. This will allow the next PIN prompt to succeed.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Server

Importing Certificates from Smartcards
Domino 7 has the ability to import preloaded X.509 certificates from smart cards or tokens without first
smartcard-enabling the ID file. This allows users to use keys that were pre-loaded onto read-only tokens and therefore
cannot currently be used to lock the Notes ID file. As long as the PKCS#11 library is correctly configured and a token
is present in the reader, then the "Import Internet Certificates from a Smartcard" menu option will be available as
described in the "Importing Certificates from Smartcards" release note.
However, there are limitations to this mode of operation in the current release.

� Background processes, such as Just-In-Time encryption, are currently unable to prompt for the PIN, and so will
only be able to use keys on the token if the token supports a protected authentication path and will therefore be
able to prompt for the PIN itself.
� If an ID file utilizing this feature is subsequently locked with a second smartcard, it may become impossible to
use any keys on the initial token on a single-slot system, since removing the smartcard that locks the ID file from
the reader to insert the initial token will log the user out of Notes.
� Some older versions of Notes/Domino will be unable to use the key stored on the token.

Following are the Java Console limitations for Domino 7 for i5/OS:

Ending a server from the Java Console

To End the Domino server from the Java console issue either of the following commands:
� QUIT
� RESTART SERVER

The following Java Console options are not supported to end i5/OS Domino server:
� Menu: File->Stop Server
� con kill domino
� con restart domino
If you issue any of these commands, the WRKDOMSVR panel will show that the server is in an *ENDING state,
however the server does not end.

The following is a list of Domino Console restrictions for Linux for zSeries:

1. The jconsole command may be run from a Linux for zSeries system by setting the DISPLAY environment variable

Domino Server
Domino Profile Setup can't get system databases from filesystem
The Domino Server Setup program has an option for setting up an Additional Server that allows the user to obtain the
server's system databases from the filesystem, including a CD, or a network drive, instead of replicating them from the
Domain Server. This option can be selected on the panel entitled "Provide the system databases for this Domino
Server", with a checkbox field called "Get system databases from CD or other media".

The Domino Server Setup program also has the ability to record a Server Setup Profile, which will record the
information for a server configuration is a file that can be applied either locally or remotely, as well as with a -silent
option. Applying this Server Setup Profile will configure the server specified using the configuration information that
was recorded.

Currently, a problem exists with the Server Setup Profile recording process that makes it unable to retain the option
"Get system databases from CD or other media" when it is selected. If a user selects this option while recording a
Profile, it will not be applied when a server is setup using that Profile.

The workaround to this problem is to either allow the Server Profile Setup to obtain the system databases from the
Domain Server (which requires that the Domain Server specified be running and reachable over the network), or to
perform the Server Setup (locally or remotely) without the use of the Profile.

If upgrading from R5, the ACL of webadmin.nsf isn't maintained
During upgrade, only the webadmn.nsf ACLs from R6 and higher are maintained, because the R5 webadmin.nsf is
different (different roles, etc.).

If you are upgrading Domino from R5 to R7, the ACLs of webadmin.nsf won't be maintained completely.

Domino for i5/OS

Limitations and Restrictions for i5/OS
XSL Transforms Disabled
XSL Transforms are disabled with Domino 7 for i5/OS to eliminate the potential for data corruption.

Workaround
You can explicitly re-enable transforms by setting the NOTES.INI variable Enable_iSeries_XSL=1. It is
recommended that transforms be offloaded to the client.

Java Server Console

If you intend to use more than one instance of the Java Server Console on the system, the first Java Server controller
that starts will bind to port 2050. Subsequent requests to start the Java Server controller for another Domino server
will attempt to use that same port and will fail.
Workaround
To start more than one Java Server controller, manually create or edit the dcontroller.ini file in the Domino
server's data directory and specify the IP address of the Domino server and a port number other than 2050.

Live Mode Memcheck requires AIX 5.3 or greater
Running NSD causes memcheck, the Domino memory checker, to be invoked. If you are using AIX version 5.2 or
earlier, and you invoke NSD while Domino is running, then memcheck will not be executed. This is due to a limitation
in earlier versions of AIX. You will see the following message in the NSD log file:

Live Mode Memcheck requires AIX 5.3 or greater, memcheck terminating

Domino Server
Message reporting on non-Windows machines
The message reporting feature of Domino creates bar charts in some of its reports. These bar charts are created
using the Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT). AWT is the interface between Java and the windowing system native
to the OS on which the server is running. On some platforms (i.e. Windows), the windowing system is always on and
active; on other platforms (i.e., UNIX), this is not necessarily the case.

On those other platforms, a native windowing system, like X11, must be installed and running in order for the
message reporting feature to work correctly.

Domino Server
Remote server Setup from UNIX to W32 cannot be silent
When attempting to perform a Remote Server Setup, using a UNIX system as the Remote Setup client, the program
will have problems setting up a Server on a W32 system (Windows 2000 or Windows NT4).

This only occurs when the user attempts to use the "Silent Setup" option. This would be invoked with the following
command-line:

remotesetup <serverhost> -silent <path to Setup Profile> =<path to notes.ini on serverhost

> -pb

The problems occurs this way because the Silent Setup option requires a path to the NOTES.INI file for the server
being setup remotely. However, when the Remote Setup client is on a UNIX system, it is unable to interpret a W32
path, such as "C:\Lotus\Domino\Data\notes.ini". This causes the Setup program to write the following error message
to the errorlog.txt file (where Silent Setup log output is written):

Could not find 'notes.ini' as specified on command line

The workaround to this problem is to use the Remote Setup client on UNIX system in GUI mode only. If a Profile is to
be used, then the "-playback" option can be given to the remotesetup command as follows:

remotesetup <serverhost> -playback

or

remotesetup <serverhost> -pl

This will allow the user to manually select the serverhost to be setup, and then to proceed through the Profile in GUI
mode on the remote UNIX client system.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

Spaces in directory names on UNIX causes nsd.sh to fail
When Domino 7 runs on Linux, spaces in directory names are not supported. If there are spaces in directory names,
the nsd.sh script fails to run.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

STOP PORT console command may hang the server
The STOP PORT console command disables the specified port for Domino and all Internet services. It also signals all
active sessions to be terminated. The RESTART PORT command performs a STOP PORT command followed by a
START PORT command.

Problem for all Platforms:

If all sessions have not yet terminated and all listening services have not completely shut down and then the START
PORT command is issued it is possible to hang the server or put the server in a state such that it will hang on
shutdown.

As a result we discourage the use of the STOP PORT console command and RESTART PORT console command. If
STOP PORT must be used, please wait a few minutes after issuing STOP PORT before the START PORT command is
issued.

Problem for Windows Servers:

If Domino is running with any child processes (it almost always does), a known problem in Windows will cause the
Domino server to become unresponsive following a RESTART PORT command or a STOP PORT / START PORT
sequence. The problem is documented in Microsoft Article 177074. There is no known workaround at this time.

We recommend that STOP PORT and RESTART PORT not be used on Windows servers.

1. The jconsole command may be run from a z/OS system by setting the DISPLAY environment variable to point to
a workstation running the XWindows server.

2. If you are using zOS Console Support for Domino, be sure you use a unique user ID for each Domino server
partition (DPAR).

Domino Server, Domino for z/OS

z/OS: zFS filesystem limitation
On z/OS , we do 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. We feel this quiesce would be detrimental to
Domino, as all disk I/O and client responses would cease during the aggregate GROW process.

We also recommend 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.

The LotusScript Web service runtime re-dimensions such arrays to a length of one empty element, as-needed i.e.,
during deserialization, when no array elements are present in the incoming SOAP request.

"Searchresults No Documents Found" searching via browser
When searching a database such as the Domino Directory from a web browser (either directly browsing to names.nsf
or through webamin.nsf) the "Search" button (red below) may appear not to be working.

When you enter a value in the field for which you expect results to be returned, and you receive the following:
Seachresults No Documents Found
it may be an indication that the database is not full-text indexed.

The "Start with" button (the other button shown above) will work without the database being full-text indexed.

Actions run on federated data in query views may cause errors
When a user executes an action (an agent visible in the Actions menu) from within a query view containing federated
data, they may immediate receive an "invalid or nonexistent document" error. This occurs because the client attempts
to open the first note on which the cursor is positioned. If this note contains federated data, the client cannot open it,
and the action fails to execute.

Workaround
Execute the action from a different view.

Domino Designer, Domino Server

Date ranges are not being utilized with DAVs
In Notes, a Date/Time field can be both a multi-value field and a range field. So a field could have values like:

06/06/2004 (single value)

07/07/2004;07/09/2004 (multi-value)
08/08/2004 - 10/10/2004 (range)
07/07/2004; 07/09/2004; 08/08/2004-10/10/2004 (range and multi-value)

Currently, if you create a form with a multi-value date field with records that contain the above data, and then create a
DAV with a multi-value date field (delimited, etc) and populate it, you will see all the above data displayed as simply
multi-value. The former range values are changed to multi-value. The examples above would look like:

06/06/2004 (single value)

07/07/2004;07/09/2004 (multi-value)
08/08/2004;10/10/2004 (was a range, now multi-value)
07/07/2004;07/09/2004;08/08/2004;10/10/2004 (was range, is now multi-value and multi-value)

If you then try to insert from SQL, specifying a multi-value data set works fine but specifying a range does not. So the
command:

insert into xx.md (multy_date)

values('2008-06-06-00.00.00.000000-2009-06-08-00.00.00.000000')

would return '06/06/2008' in the Notes record. It actually drops the second value because it doesn't understand the
'-' indicating a range.

Document locking introduces problems with DAVs
If you are using DB2 Access Views (DAVs), you cannot use the Notes database document-locking option.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

DOMCHANGE.NSF database should not be DB2-enabled
The database DOMCHANGE.NSF is used by the Activity Trends administration tool. Activity Trends is not
DB2-enabled; therefore, DOMCHANGE.NSF must not be created as a DB2-enabled Notes database. If you set up
Activity Trends on a DB2 enabled Domino server, complete this procedure.
Note If Activity Trends was set up before you enabled the Domino server to communicate with DB2, no changes are
necessary.

1. Using the database template DOMCHANGE.NTF, create the database DOMCHANGE.NSF.

2. Open the Server document, and then locate the Administrators field and the Full Access Administrators fields.
3. Create an ACL entry for each item in those fields, using these settings:
� Manager access
� Change Admin, System Admin, Plan Reader, Plan Creator roles
4. Create an ACL entry for the server, using its canonical name, and then assign these settings:
� Server user type
� Manager access
� Make the server the administration server of the database
5. Sign all documents in the database with the server's ID by completing these steps:
1. Move the DOMCHANGE.NSF database to the data directory of the Notes client.
2. Start the Domino Administrator.
3. Switch to the server's user ID using the File - Security - Switch ID menu items.
4. In the Domino Administrator, click Files, and then right-click on the database name DOMCHANGE.NSF.
5. Select sign, and then choose "Active User's ID" as the ID you want to use.
6. Choose "All data documents" in the field "What do you want to sign?"
7. Copy the database to the DB2-enabled Domino server's data directory.

Inserts during DAV population
If a user attempts to insert a record, using the Notes client, into a DAV while the DAV is being populated, there is a
likelihood that the new document will not be added to the DAV.

Workaround
Avoid client-side inserts while the associated DAV (to which the user expects the inserted documents to be added) is
being populated.

Moving a database to another DB2 group on AIX
The Move to Group command in the Domino Administrator client, accessed by clicking the File tab, and then choosing
Tools - DB2 Groups - Move to Group is not case-sensitive. The Move to Group command from the Tools menu does not
recognize database names composed of mixed-case characters, that is, both upper and lower case characters. If you
attempt to move a database that is composed of mixed-case characters, an error is generated.

110
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

If you are moving a database that has a name composed of mixed case characters, use the server console command,
DB2 group move. For example, at the server console command line, type

db2 group move MIXeD.nsf grp54

where:
� db2 group move is the server console command
� MIXeD.nsf is the database name composed of both upper and lower case characters
� grp54 is the name of the DB2 group to which you are moving the database

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

Moving a DB2-enabled Notes database containing a DAV
Using the Domino Administrator client to move a DB2 enabled Notes database that contains a DAV, changes the
NSFSCHEMA property of the DB2 enabled Notes database. This effectively changes the view name used when running
queries against the DAV. For example, a DB2 enabled Notes database named myData.nsf may initially have an
NSFSCHEMA named MYDATA. DAVs created for myData.nsf would be queried by accessing the view
MYDATA.DAVNAME. Using the admin client to move myData.nsf to another DB2 group (for example., GRP1 to GRP8)
results in the NSFSCHEMA being changed to something else. In this example, assuming no other DB2 enabled Notes
databases were similarly named to myData.nsf, the NSFSCHEMA would most likely be changed from MYDATA to
MYDATA2. Queries written against the DB2 view MYDATA.DAVNAME will need to be modified so that they now query
MYDATA2.DAVNAME.

Note: Applications using the recommended @DB2Schema function will work without changes to the NSFSCHEMA.
property.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

Moving a DB2 container to another physical location
The DB2 Move Container feature is not available in the Limited Availability release of Domino 7 and DB2. The DB2
Move Container feature physically moves a tablespace container to another physical location. Use one of the two
workarounds described below to move a DB2 container.

Workaround 1 -- For the DB2 administrator to perform

If it is necessary to physically move a tablespace container, that is, an x.DB2GRP file, to a new location, complete this
procedure from the DB2 command line processor (CLP). In this example, the original location of tablespace
container is C:\Lotus\Domino\Data\2.DB2GRP and the new location of tablespace container will be
D:\newdir\2.DB2GRP.

1. Connect to the database.

Note In Steps 2, 3, and 4, <group> refers to the tablespace name not the tablespace container (file system) name
and is case sensitive on IBM AIX systems. In the example, GRP2 is the tablespace name and would be entered in place
of <group>; 2.DB2GRP is the tablespace container name. On IBM AIX systems, be sure to set up the appropriate ACL
for the directory you are using.

2. Enter this query to determine the size of the original container:

db2 => SELECT TOTAL_PAGES FROM TABLE (sysproc.snapshot_tbs_cfg(' ', -1)) AS
t1 WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME = '<group>'
These messages display:
Total Pages 4032
1 record(s) selected.

3. Add a new container of the same size in the new location, by typing this command:
db2 => ALTER TABLESPACE <group> ADD (FILE 'D:\newdir\2.DB2GRP' 4032)
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.

111
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

4. Drop the original container by typing this command:

db2 => ALTER TABLESPACE <group> DROP (FILE 'C:\Lotus\Domino\Data\2.DB2GRP')
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.

Note For large tablespace containers, the command "ALTER TABLESPACE ... DROP" may fail with the error
"SQL0258N Container operations cannot be performed while a rebalance of the table space is pending or in progress.
SQLSTATE=55041". To resolve the error, when rebalancing is complete, re-enter the command
db2 => ALTER TABLESPACE <group> DROP (FILE 'C:\Lotus\Domino\Data\2.DB2GRP')

Workaround 2 -- For the Domino administrator to perform

Use this workaround to move a container indirectly by creating a new DB2 group on a different directory, and then
moving files from an existing DB2 group to the new DB2 group.

1. On the DB2 server, create the directory in which you want to add the new DB2 data.
2. From the Domino Administrator, attach to the desired server.
3. From the Domino Administrator, click Configuration.
4. Choose Server -- Current Server Document, and then click Edit Server.
5. Click DB2 to open the DB2 tab.
6. In the Directory field, remove the existing directory and type the name and path of the directory in which you will
store the DB2 data.
7. Save and close the Server document.
8. Wait for the server to process the change, or from the server console, type
Restart server
9. From the Domino server console, verify that the new directory information exists by typing
SHOW CONFIG DB2DIRECTORY
10. From the Domino Administrator, click the Files tab.
11. Select DB2 Groups from the tree, and then select the group that contains the DB2 enabled Notes database that
you want to move.
12. Right Click on the selected file, and then select Move to Group. (Optionally, you can use Tools - DB2 Groups
instead.)
13. Click the check box, Move to new group.
Note: If there are no groups to move to, the check box is selected by default.
14. Click Move.
15. The DB2 data is added to the new directory.
16. To move additional files to the new DB2 group,
� From the Files panel and the group database list, select the DB2 database that you want to move.
� Repeat Step 11.
� Select the new DB2 group that you just created, and then click Move.
17. If you no longer need the old container, lock the old groups.

New copy of DB with QV causes 'Invalid or nonexistent document'
On a DB2-enabled server, creating a query view in a database, and then copying that database, results in an error
message opening that query view in the copied database, as in the following scenario:

1. In a database:
� Create a form with a few fields that will be used to populate the database
� Create a few documents using the form
� Create and populate a DAV using the form & fields

112
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

� Create a query view returning all fields from the DAV ("Select * from dbname.davname"), and columns to
show the fields
� Open the query view in the client; verify the view opens correctly and documents can be opened from the
query view
2. Make a copy of the database
3. In the copied database, open the query view
4. Open any of the documents
5. You will see the error 'Invalid or nonexistent document'

Workaround
Open the newly-copied database in Designer. Check the 'DAV - update as necessary' option. Check the Query View's
SQL statement; modify it so that the database name and DAV name matches the newly-copied database names.

Query view - updates return incorrect data
If a query view built using a join of Notes data and DB2 data is updated by opening a record and updating a field in a
Notes document, incorrect data is returned in the columns of the federated (non-Notes) data.

Workaround
Press SHIFT + F9 to correct the view.

Notes Client, Domino Designer

Query view does not show docs with stored form
When "Store form in document" is enabled in form property, query view based on the form doesn't show documents in
view.

Workaround is to set "All" for DB2 Access View as below:

Views w/ both categories and responses in DB2-enabled Notes dbs
When complex views containing both backslash-created category values and responses are opened in a DB2-enabled
Notes database, some documents may be missing from the view. Likewise, when the views are navigated by
application code, view entries may be missing.

Workaround
Keep these databases in NSF format.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

Web Admin database created as DB2-enabled Notes database
When the default database type for new Domino databases is set to DB2 on a DB2-enabled server, and the Web
Administrator database (webadmin.nsf) has not yet been created, running the http task on the server will result in the
Web Administrator database being created as a DB2-enabled Notes database. The Web Administrator database in
this form is unusable, so this should be avoided or the database deleted.

Workaround
Make the default database NSF and (re)create the Web Administrator database.

Designer issues

Domino Designer
Crash copying form actions to view
If you copy multiple Form actions to the clipboard (Ctrl + C) and attempt to paste to a View that has ZERO actions,
Notes crashes.

Workaround
Copy only one action and paste it into the view the first time. After there is one action in the view, multiple Form
actions can be pasted.

Domino Designer
Errors in agents imported by DXL not highlighted in Designer
If you use the DXL Importer to create a LotusScript agent that contains LotusScript syntax errors, and then open the
agent in Designer (having first signed the agent with the Administrator Client or programmatically), the Designer may
not bring the syntax errors to your attention, and may allow you to add more incorrect lines of LotusScript code
without receiving a warning. The Designer may also allow you to save the agent with the errors present, though note
that the agent will not execute.
You can correct this problem by re-importing the agent with the LotusScript syntax errors corrected in the DXL.

Notes Client, Domino Designer

Query view & View Selection formula with specific Form selected
When a Query View is created with a View Selection formula, make sure that any design elements specified in your
formula also have an associated DAV field.

For example, if you created a query view with SQL "SELECT * FROM NSF_NAME.DAV_NAME" and the view selection
formula "SELECT form="form_name" & @contains(field_name; "sample"); your DAV should include "FORM" under
source type "All".
In the above SQL example, a wildcard * is used, but if you specify each field, you should include FORM specifically to
get the correct result sets.

Domino Designer
Simple Actions cannot be used for new or changed view selections
When creating a new view selection, do not use simple actions, as they will have no effect. Similarly, do not use
simple actions when changing an existing view selection. Existing view selections employing simple actions should
still work properly.
Using a formula with the same intended effects as the corresponding simple action can still be used for new and
changing view selections. This can be used to work around the problem.

Directory issues

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Server

LDAP service clients using Microsoft Windows XP and SSL
Using LDAP with SSL on Microsoft Windows XP requires that a root certificate be present in the Microsoft client's
certificate store. If the SSL server certificate for the LDAP server was not issued by one of the Certificate Authority
roots built in to Internet Explorer, you must install a new root certificate.

1. Determine the name of the certificate authority that issued the SSL server certificate. Connect to the server, using
SSL, with a Web browser. Do this by entering https:/ when you enter the URL.
2. In the security alert dialog, click "View certificate" and see the name in the "Issued By" field. This is the common
name of the issuing certificate authority.

Note: If you use https, and no security dialog is displayed, you may already have the required root or SSL server
certificate installed.
3. Click Tools - Internet Options - Content - Certificates. You can view the SSL server certificate on the "Other People"
tab, and see the "Issued By" name in this way. You can also check for installed roots on the "Trusted Root
Certification Authorities" tab. If the issuing root for the SSL server in question is already present, no further
action is required. If not, proceed to step 4.
4. Contact your administrator to locate the server running the Certificate Requests database for the issuing
certificate authority identified in the previous procedure. The Certificate Requests database is commonly named
"certreq.nsf". Open the database using the Internet Explorer Web browser (for example,
http://ca_server.com/certreq.nsf) and click "Accept this Authority in Your Browser." This installs the root
certificate.

Directory catalog sort ordering
When multiple documents from Domino directories are combined into single documents in a condensed directory
catalog (CDC), they are stored in a particular ordering. When this intra-document order does not match the
inter-document (that is, view sort) order, not all the expected lookup results may be returned. These ordering
inconsistencies may result from differences between the Dircat aggregation server's locale and the locales of Notes
clients using the CDC.

To create correct CDC(s), the administrator should perform the following three steps:
� Create separate copies of CDC databases (not replicas) for each distinct locale desired. For example,
French and Danish users may each require a CDC sorted specifically to their respective language locale. It
may be useful to include the locale in the file names e.g., cdc-fr.nsf and cdc-dk.nsf. If your international
users don't mind using the same sort order, you then only need one CDC.
� Set each CDC's "Default sort order" in File - Database - Properties - Design to the desired value. For
example, English users may want Latin1. Select "Unicode standard sorting" if a server is using the CDC,
otherwise you may de-select this option so that all documents are collated according to the default sort order
you just set:

� Perform a full rebuild of your CDC(s) using the "load dircat" Domino console command combined with the "-r"
option.

Enabling SSO for foreign LDAP directory entries with @ signs
This release note describes a workaround for foreign LDAP directory entries that contain an "@" sign in the relative
distinguished name (RDN). In order for these users to use single sign-on to access a Domino server, Domino
administrators need to do the following:

� Enter the LDAP DN in the "Shortname/User ID" of the Person document for each LDAP user that requires SSO
access. The LDAP DN should be formatted in the Notes style, using slashes instead of commas.

� On the Internet Access section of the Security tab of the Server document, enable "More name variations with
lower security."

For example, if the LDAP DN is:

[email protected],ou=acme,o=acme,c=us

Than you would enter the following in the "Shortname/UserID" field:

[email protected]/ou=acme/o=acme/c=us

Problem with enabling anonymous queries through LDAP
If you follow the procedure to allow anonymous queries through LDAP, as described in the help topic "Converting the
default anonymous access settings to database ACL and extended ACL settings," a problem arises if there are any
publicly available servers that run HTTP in the Domino domain.
The Domino Directory is now publicly available with Read access to all person documents. Since xACLs require
consistent ACLs, there is no way to disable Anonymous access to the Domino Directory on servers that are running
HTTP. This is not secure for customers with publicly available servers that provide Web site hosting for their
applications.

Workaround
Disable Anonymous access on the HTTP port.

DOLS issues

Problems installing subscriptions with IE 5
If users attempt to install a subscription using Internet Explorer 5.01, they may receive the following error: "Error 500
attempting to request offline configuration data" dialog appears, followed by "Error requesting offline configuration
from the server."

Workaround
Users should install a later version of IE.
Note: If user attempts to install a subscription using Internet Explorer 5.0 with 128 bit encryption, they may receive
the following error: "DOLS DSAPI error: user must be logged in in order to go offline." There is currently no
workaround.

Multiple directory catalogs may be confusing
Each Web Mail subscription installed on a Client can have its own directory catalog. This includes iNotes Web Access
(R5), Domino Web Access (6) and Extended Mail (R6) databases, or any other customized DOLS enabled database
that includes the directory catalog. If several subscriptions with directory catalogs are downloaded to the same
machine, several issues may arise:
� Any user with a subscription on that machine can read all of the installed directory catalogs, since they will all be
listed in the address selection dialog.
� All the directory catalogs with the same name will appear in the address selection dialog of any Web Mail
subscription on that machine.
� Despite having the same name, directory catalogs can contain different information, if they have different
replication schedules. If the user can't tell which one is most up to date, they may be using an outdated catalog.

Workaround
Make sure that all directory catalogs on the same Client have the same replication schedule.

Problem viewing "Out of Service" databases on a clustered server
When a user installs a subscription offline, then an Administrator or Designer marks the online version "Out of Service,"
the user can still synchronize with a replica on another server in the cluster.
But when the user then tries to use the Web Control or Domino Sync Manager to view the database online, they get an
error.

Internet password not synchronizing
If a user downloads a subscription, then changes their Internet Password in the Person document on the server, they
get an "Access denied" error if they try to use the new password to open the subscription offline. This is because the
password does not synchronize from the server to the offline Domino Directory (DOLNAMES.NSF).
Workaround
After deleting the subscription, and reinstalling, the user will be prompted for the sync password which is now different
from the internet password. After synching, go offline, and you will now be able to enter the new internet password to
access the db.

Subscription desktop icons may not appear
A subscription icon may not appear on the desktop if the subscription:
� Has Unicode in the title, or
� Has a character in the title which the OS does not allow for a filename. For example, "/" is not allowed in a
Windows filename; subscriptions with "/" in the title (first tab of the Offline Config Doc) will not have an icon on the
desktop.

Workaround
To launch the subscription after the download you must launch it from the Lotus Domino Sync Manager.

Moving extended mail files from one server to another
When you move an extended mail file from one DOLS-enabled Domino 5.0.5 or later server to another using AdminP,
the move will not be completed.
This happens because the last step in moving these mail files is for the user to access the original file using Notes.
When they do this, it updates the Notes Dialup Connection and Location documents in the Personal Address Book with
the new mail file and new mail server information. Then a "Push changes to new mail server" request is created and the
old mail file is deleted.
If a user accesses the original file with their browser using DOLS (or via replication) instead of Notes, this last step is
not initiated.
The Administrator must use LotusScript to create an agent in the Administrator Request Database that will create the
"push changes" request. The LotusScript can be downloaded from the Iris Sandbox on Notes.net. You can get the
download from the following URL:

Desktop icon not changing when customized
When users install a subscription offline, then add their own icons to the Customize subform, the Sync Manager shows
the new icon, but the desktop icon does not change.

Workaround
Refresh the desktop or restart the operating system.

Notes Client, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Dircat path not removed from NOTES.INI when subscription removed
If you create a mail file using the extended mail template (mail6ex.ntf), and DOLS enable it with a directory catalog,
but do not select the option for shared files (on the Rules tab), when you download the subscription, the Names
parameter in the NOTES.INI file in the iNotes directory should look like this:
NAMES=dolnames.nsf,dols\Web user1 Mattel
US\9A55CDC7D0D12BA385256A7100720089\dircat.nsf,dols\Web User2 Mattel
US\2EFE0803CB6E457285256A8C00746884\dircat.nsf
If you delete one of the subscriptions, the NOTES.INI file Names parameter is not changed, and the subscription
directory still appears in the drop down but you cannot access the directory.

Notes Client, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Error during sync about public key not matching the Address Book
During synchronization, the user gets the error "Your public key does not match the one stored in the Address Book" in
the synchronization status, which is then set to idle.

Workaround
Open the security section of the server document and disable the option "Compare Notes public keys against those
stored in Directory."

Notes Client, Domino Designer, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

If configuration document deleted, users must re-install
If, for some reason, it is necessary to delete a subscription's Offline Subscription Configuration profile document,
users who have the subscription installed must delete it and re-install the subscription with its new configuration
document.

Notes Client, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Multi-user subscriptions are deleted by Notes "clean up"
DOLS multi-user subscriptions are deleted when the user selects the Notes client "clean up" option in the following
scenario. You install Lotus Notes with the Multi-User Option, and you install a DOLS-enabled database that has "Use
Multi-User Data Directory" turned on in the subscription profile document. After you work in Notes, you are prompted
"Want to clean up your personal files?" Do not select OK. If you do, the next attempt to sync with the Domino Sync
Manager will fail because the DOLS multi-user data directory will be deleted when the Notes client shuts down.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Users can't access encrypted subscription if ID overwritten
If the user has installed an encrypted subscription, then for any reason their ID changes, they will not be able to open
the encrypted subscription offline. This is because the offline subscription was encrypted using a key which matches
the ID. When the ID changes, the key no longer matches the ID and the subscription won't open. The user must delete
the encrypted subscription, re-install and re-encrypt it.

The "Overwrite existing user ID" setting should not be turned on in an enterprise that uses encrypted subscriptions.
Users whose IDs are overwritten will not be able to open an offline subscription encrypted with a key from the previous
ID. The only way to apply new IDs to encrypted subscriptions, is to delete the encrypted database and reinstall.

Disabled subscriptions synchronize during upgrade
If you disable all 5.0x subscriptions on a client system, then upgrade the server, when you upgrade one of the
subscriptions on the client, all of the subscriptions synchronize even though they are not enabled.

Notes Client, Domino Server, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Need proper format to use wildcard for Optional files
When using the * (wildcard) in the Optional files field of the Offline Subscription Configuration document (for example,
*.nsf), you must add a \ before it, or you can get an error synchronizing offline.

Workaround
Use \*nsf instead of just *.nsf

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Password lost when Offline Security doc is changed after upgrade
If your Offline Security Policy is set to autogen and you upgrade your server from 5.0x to 6.x, making a change to the
choices in the Offline Security Policy will result in a loss of the password for the certifier.
For example, this problem would likely occur if a particular domain contains encrypted subscriptions and you want to
turn on the new "Overwrite existing id" feature in the domain's security policy on the upgraded server.

Workaround
Go to the tab with the certifier id, reenter the password and save the security policy.

Notes Client, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Problems with DOLS SSO "Enter application Password" dialog
With SSO enabled, a user can inadvertently assign an offline subscription a different dolsuser.id/notes.id password
than the one that is used online for the same subscription. This will happen if the user enters and confirms a different
password in the Offline "Enter application Password" when downloading the subscription. The user can not easily
change this offline password.
Users may change the password in the Properties -> Security tab for the subscription to the online password. They
will then be able to open the subscription offline using the online internet password, however when they try to sync the
subscription, the incorrect synchronization password will be opened.
The user must enter the password that was entered in the "Enter application Password" dialog so that synchronization
of the subscription can occur. (This is the behavior when Notes and Internet password are different)

Domino Web Access

Can't use alternate organization unit to login offline
On Linux Mozilla, you cannot log in offline using the alternate organization unit as part of the login. For example, you
cannot use AlternateName/AlternateOrgUnit/AlternateLanguage.

If the user is created without an alternate organization unit, such as AlternateName/AlternateLanguage, you can login
offline using that ID.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Cannot log into offline subscription with user short name
User cannot log into an offline subscription with their short name when the Internet Access/ Internet authentication
section of the subscription's security policy document is set to "Fewer name variations with higher security." This is
working as expected. Offline internet security needs to be at the highest level. As result, short name authentication is
not supported. All username aliases can be used instead.

Subscription doesn't failover when outside a company's DNS
DOLS does not support cluster failover during synchronization. However, you can set a backup server (or secondary
TCPIP address) in the Offline Subscription Configuration Profile document, in the Network settings.

Domino Web Access, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Upgrading the iNotes Sync Manager to the Domino Sync Manager
If you upgrade from the iNotes Sync Manger to the Domino Sync Manager, the desktop icons and menu items are not
automatically removed so you will have two sets of icons and menu items for the Sync Manager. You must remove the
iNotes Sync Manager icons and menu items manually.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

Using an alternate name to go offline
To go offline with an alternate name, the name must be in the database ACL. You cannot go offline if the alternate
name is in a group name, and only the group name is in the database ACL.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server, Domino Offline Services (DOLS)

With IIS, delay before install path dialog is displayed
In an environment with an IIS front end server and a Domino with DOLS backend server, when the user installs a
subscription there is a roughly 1.5 minute delay before the install dialog is displayed. This only occurs on first install,
not on reinstall.

Domino Access for MS Outlook issues

Domino Access for Outlook

Cannot edit MAPI profile
You cannot edit your MAPI profile via the Control Panel (Control Panel - Mail). If you need to connect to a different
server, you must create a new profile via the Start menu (Start - Programs - IBM Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft
Outlook - Create New MAPI Profile).

Domino Access for Outlook

Configuring a passthru server for use with DAMO
Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook does not currently include the ability to configure passthru capability so that DAMO
clients can use a passthru server.

Workaround
You can configure a passthru server for one or more specific users, or for all users.

To configure a passthru server for a specific user:

1. After the creation of the user's profile, using a Notes client, open the NAMES.NSF database contained in the user's DAMO
data directory.
2. Open the Location document specific to this user and enter the Notes hierarchal name of the passthru server in the
"Passthru server" field. Save and close the Location document.
3. Create a new server Connection document of connection type "Passthru server" and enter the Notes hierarchal
names of both the passthru and the destination servers.

122
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

4. Create a new server Connection document of connection type "Local Area Network" and identify the DNS path to
the passthru server (IP address).
5. If the passthru server is in a different domain or is certified by a different Organization/Organizational Unit, it may
be necessary to copy the Notes cross-certificate for this user from another local NAMES.NSF to the certificates
view of the DAMO NAMES.NSF.

To configure a passthru server for all users:

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab.
2. Click Server - All Server Documents.
3. Open the Server document for the server that you want to set up as a passthru server, and click Edit Server.
4. Click the Security tab. In the Passthru Use section, enter an asterisk in the "Route through" field.
See the Domino Administrator help for information on setting up a server as a passthru server.

Troubleshooting
Use the following NOTES.INI variables to help troubleshoot any passthru server configuration issues:

Log_Sessions=1 -- to help troubleshoot the configuration, set this on both the passthru and Domino server
PASSTHRU_LOGLEVEL=5 -- set this on the passthru server and the DAMO client to capture helpful information in
the LOG.NSF

Note: These procedures assume that the destination and passthru servers have been properly configured.

Domino Access for Outlook

Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook issues
The following is a list of differences between the Notes client and the Microsoft Outlook client, as well as known
limitations and problems.

Differences between Notes client and Microsoft Outlook client

� Outlook's "Active Appointments" view does not accurately reflect the number of occurrences in a recurring
meeting; however, the calendar accurately reflects the meetings.
� If a Notes invitee requests information in response to a meeting invitation, the Outlook chair will receive an
email with their comments.
� Embedded messages can be read only by Outlook recipients. Use Forward or Reply to send existing message
content to all users.
� Outlook does not support the creation of a new line in the Subject and Location fields on Calendar items.
New lines entered in Notes in the Subject or Location field are converted to a semicolon (;) followed by a
space in Outlook. Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook users can enter a semicolon and space so that a new
line is added in Notes.
� Meeting updates to recurring meetings (not reschedules) are sent as individual items, if a change is made to
the series a number of updates will be sent. It is recommended that changes are made to single instances to
avoid multiple updates being sent.
� Domino does not support recurring daily meetings every weekday. Instead, use the option to select the days
of the week.
� In Outlook, there is no new mail notification on start up, even when there are unread messages in the Inbox.
New mail notification does not occur until a new message arrives.

Address Book
Distribution lists created in Notes that contain other distribution lists (nested distribution lists) cannot be resolved
within Outlook. Nested distribution lists created in Notes are resolved in the Domino server and can be used to send
messages. Nested distribution lists created in the Outlook Contact folders are resolved within Outlook and can be
used to deliver messages.

123
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

Group To Dos/Tasks
� In Outlook, when forwarding a task that includes an attachment to another Outlook user, the attachment is
not forwarded.

Mail
Sending e-mail
� To ensure full directory access, all directories you want to select must reside in your domain. This release
does not provide access to directories that require additional certificates to access, such as directories in
different domains. If you cannot access a directory, talk to your administrator.
� It is recommended that complex documents be placed as attachments in e-mail. Microsoft Word is
supported as the primary editor and is recommended where available.
� The preferred format for e-mail should be set to Rich Text format in Outlook for best results.
� Table formatting in some cases may be lost when sending from Outlook; use attachments for complex
documents.
� Messages removed from Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook using "shift-delete" are not removed from the
server replica. Users should simply delete messages and empty them from their "Deleted Items" folder to
ensure proper synchronization of deletes from Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook.
� Mail notification of briefly changing the mouse cursor does not work in this release.

Outlook features not supported

� Most of Outlook's publishing and authoring components, such as footnotes, bookmarks, captions, cross
references, page column formatting, edit change, and revision marks and tracking.
� In Outlook 2002, sending e-mail that has an assigned category is not supported by Domino;
� Follow Up flags are not sent to e-mail recipients if mail is in html format.
� Pictures other than clip art and images from files. Charts, diagrams, and embedded objects. Use
attachments for these objects.
� In some cases, active URLs in Notes do not replicate as active links in Outlook.
� Once a message has been sent, Domino does not support the ability to expire or retract the message.
� The tracking option "Process receipts on arrival" is not supported in Domino.
� Outlook Rules that are applied to new items currently work only with the "Run Now" option, not as items are
added to the Inbox.
Other
� There is currently no way to represent LotusScript buttons with Outlook.

Calendar & Scheduling

Recurring meetings
� Deleting recurring meetings, may result in some occurrences remaining on the Calendar.
� In Notes, you can create a monthly meeting that happens on the first Tuesday and third Thursday of each
month. However Outlook does not support this as a repeat. These meetings will be distributed to multiple
dates when replicated to Outlook.
� Recurring meetings that are subsequently changed to be "Private" cannot be accepted by the invitee. This can
be resolved by changing the end time by 1 minute and then setting the "Private" option.
� If there is a mixture of acceptances and declines, the accept/decline status of invitees and rooms for specific
instances of recurring meetings may be incorrect. The original accept/decline notices for the users received
by the chair are correct.
� In some cases, invitees added to recurring meetings, where a number of updates are applied, may receive a
"Request Out of Date" message when processing updates. It is recommended that the user verify that the
changes have been applied to the existing calendar entry, as in some cases they may not be.

124
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

Autoprocessing
� When using "Autoprocess," the Chair does not receive an acceptance notice from the invitee, but the meeting
is added to the invitee's calendar.
� On the Autoprocess tab, if you enable automatic responses to meeting invitations from specified users, you
have the option of choosing a name from the address book. however, you must remove the "@<domain>"
portion of the address for this feature to work.
Outlook features not supported
� The fields "Show Time As" and "Categories" are not sent to invitees.
� When you create a meeting invitation and save it as draft in Notes/Domino, the addresses are not available
when viewed in Outlook.
� If you set an alarm for a specific meeting in Notes, the alarm is not set in Outlook for the same entry.
� If a meeting invitation created in Notes is delegated to an Outlook user, the Outlook user cannot take action
on the meeting. However, the meeting may be added to the delegate's calendar.
� The Outlook XP feature creating "Group Schedules" does not operate correctly. It will not save the members of
the group when initially created; subsequent edits will be saved and operate correctly.
� The "cc" field is not supported when sending a response to meeting requests, add any additional recipients to
the "From" field.
� The Notes/Domino invitee cannot delegate meetings created with an Outlook chair in this release.
� Comments sent by a Notes/Domino Chair or Notes/Domino delegator are not supported when sent to
Outlook Chair.
Other
� Occasionally when accepting/declining multiple updates for a meeting, Outlook may report the error "The
messaging Interface has reported an unknown error. If problem persists restart Outlook." Close the entry, and
reopen it and accept/decline again. The error should not reappear.
� Addresses selected from the personal contacts and LDAP directories will not show the tracking status of
attendees, when creating meeting invitations. They will correctly receive the meeting invitations, and updates
and responses will be received.
� If a delegate tries to change the date in an appointment, reminder or all day event that was created by the
owner of the mail file, the delegate will get a message that the entry has been changed by another user. The
delegate will be prompted "Do you want to make a copy in the default folder for the item?" Workaround:
Delegate should click yes, and then close the calendar entry. Reopen the calendar and make the necessary
changes.

Rich Text Formatting

Some of the rich text formatting (RTF) available in Outlook is not supported in Domino and will be lost or replaced by
similar formatting supported in Domino.
General
The following general areas of Outlook formatting are not supported:
� Publishing and authoring features -- This includes manuscript revision marks and edit change tracking and
annotations, footnotes, captions, page headers and footers, bookmarks, indexes and tables of contents, and
cross references. It also includes creating columns and sections, and using "drop cap" paragraph
formatting.
� Drawing and artwork features -- This includes creating new a drawing in the document, autoshapes, word-art,
charts, and diagrams. Note: Clip art and images inserted from files are supported.
� Special text fields and form fields --This includes inserting auto text, text fields, and form fields. Examples
are current date or time, author name, creation date, calculated fields (such as sales tax), text boxes,
checkboxes, and dropdown fields.
� Frames and sections, document variables, master documents, and subdocuments.

125
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

Text and Paragraphs

The following text or paragraph formatting are not supported:
� Multi-level bullet and numbered lists -- only single-level lists are supported. Note: Supported list types are
solid circle bullet, decimal numbering, lower- and uppercase alpha, and lower- and uppercase Roman
numbering.
� Shading and borders for text, shading for paragraphs, positioned paragraphs, automatic hyphenation and
paragraph styles.
� Combining shadow, emboss or engrave formatting with superscript or subscript -- if more than one is
specified, superscript or subscript take precedence.
� Underline styles -- only the solid underlining style is supported; all other styles will be converted to solid.
� Special tab alignment -- only left aligned tabs with no leader are supported.

Tables
In the following cases, Domino will convert table formatting to a style that is supported:
� Tables created using "AutoFit to contents" tables and the "Fit text" to cell feature.
� Varying column widths between rows; varying the number of cells between rows.
� Varying text alignment and inner margins between cells -- all cells will have the same values. In a cell, the top
and bottom margins will always be equal and the same is true for left and right margins.
� Varying cell border style and color between cells -- all cells will have the same cell border style and color, and
the table's outer border will be of a single style and color.
� Shading -- only solid style of cell and table fill (shading) is supported -- Other styles (such as hash marks) are
converted to solid.
� Table and cell border styles -- Domino supports eight styles; all others will be converted to the closest match.
� The merge cells feature.
� Number of columns and levels of nested tables are limited to 63 and 7, respectively.

Domino Formatting not Supported in Outlook

If you use both Notes and Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook, some formatting created in Notes is not supported in
Outlook. This formatting will either be lost in the conversion or will be replaced by something similar.
General
� Drop-shadow borders on tables and pictures
� Some list styles, such as circle, square and checkmark

Tables
� Fit to Window style tables.
� Cell image and gradient fill (shading).
� Mixture of fixed and variable cell widths in a table.
� Tabbed, captioned, and animated tables. These will be converted to normal tables in Outlook.

Exchange to Domino Migration issues
When data is migrated from an Exchange server to a Domino server, most of the data migrates successfully, however
there are some exceptions:
� Recurring Meetings have data migration issues in the following instances:
� If Outlook users decline a recurring meeting invitation from a user before the data is migrated, they will
not be able to accept partial updates to the recurring meeting after the meeting data has been migrated.
� Outlook users should verify recurring meeting schedules and invitee status after migration, in cases
where some instances have been declined or rescheduled.
� If successive instances of a recurring meeting are cancelled or rescheduled, the updates to the schedule
data may not migrate correctly.
� Invitees should accept the initial invitation for recurring meetings before migration, otherwise subsequent
updates may not be correct. In the case of single meetings, migration can easily handle subsequent updates,
and only in very specific cases will there be a problem with updates to recurring meetings.
� When a migrated task includes a .JPG attachment, there may be problems opening the file.
� When a Notes user replies with history to a migrated memo that includes an attachment, it may appear that
there are two attachments: the original attachment and an image of a file document.
� If migrated Exchange users have similar names (such as John Yankowski and John Yankowsky), the mail file
could be overwritten during Notes registration. When registering Notes users, the Domino Administrator
truncates long names to eight letters (the first initial of the first name and the first seven letters of the last
name).

Workaround: During registration, make sure you manually extend the name or you will be prompted to
overwrite the first instance of the truncated name.

See also the release note "Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook" for a full list of problems and limitations.

You need to migrate a user The Domino Migration Tool is designed as a "run once" utility, which registers users and
more than once creates their associated mail files on the Domino server. You can migrate a user more
than once, but remember that if you migrate to the same Domino mail file, the existing
data is not replaced, it is just appended.
Workaround: If you need to "re-migrate" a user, delete the existing Domino mail file from
the Domino server, and then perform the migration for that user again. You will be
informed that the user is already registered on the Domino server, and prompted to
update the existing user. Do this, and complete the migration. A new mail file will be
created for the migrated user on the Domino server.
The address conversion for a While running the address conversion utility, you may see the message, "Address
user's mail file fails conversion failed for this user."

running the address conversion. Update the name and address book following the
instructions previously outlined, then perform the address conversion again.

Workaround: If the migration process fails while migrating a user, that user and any
others in the Registration Queue will be saved in preparation for registration and

connection is restored. Then resume the migration process by selecting "Register All" in
the Register Person dialog.

Domino Domain Monitoring issues

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client

'Open Monitoring...' opens new instance each time
When you click the Open Monitoring... outline entry in the Monitoring Configuration database (events4.nsf), the
Domino Domain Monitor database (ddm.nsf) will be opened on the corresponding server. If you click this outline entry
multiple times, a new instance of the Domino Domain Monitor database will be opened for each time the outline entry
is clicked.
If this occurs, close all instances of the Domino Domain Monitor database and the Monitoring Configuration database.
Re-open one instance of the database and the problem should no longer occur.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client

'View Unread' button presents mixed results in Collapsed views
The Domino Domain Monitor database (ddm.nsf) has a View Unread button in all of the views and tabs.

The purpose of this button is to help manage large volumes of data that might be reported in this database. Using
this button will allow users to display only documents that are marked unread. This will allow Administrators to view
new documents that require attention and temporarily remove documents that have already been reviewed (read).
The button serves as a 'toggle' - when viewing the Unread documents, the button now reads 'View All'. Click the button
and it will now display all documents for this view.

There are some minor problems when using this button in a view that is set to 'Collapse All'. After clicking the 'View
Unread' button in a view that is fully collapsed, the category counts will continue to reflect the total docs in that
category, not the unread docs in that category. In addition, if you click the category, the category will disappear,
leaving only the unread documents for that category. This occurs for each category in the view. If you click each
category, eventually, you will have a view of unread, uncategorized documents.

To avoid this, simply make sure the view is not set to 'Collapse All' before using the 'View Unread' button. The view
should display correctly for this scenario.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client

DDM 'Restore Default Probes' action
The DDM 'Restore Default Probes' action in the Monitoring Configuration database fails with this error: The specified

Domino Domain Monitor best viewed w/bookmarks unpinned
The Domino Domain Monitor database (ddm.nsf) is best viewed with bookmarks unpinned and/or a screen resolution
of 1024 by 768 pixels, or more. If bookmarks are pinned or the screen resolution is too large, the tabs in this
database may overlap each other, making it difficult to navigate. Simply unpin the bookmarks pane or adjust the
screen resolution and the database will have enough room to fully display.

IBM Lotus Instant Messaging in Domino Domain Monitor
Double clicking on an Administrator listed in the IBM Lotus Instant Messaging pane ('Show/Hide Administrators') will
not initiate an Instant Messaging dialog with the Administrator. Simply right-click on the desired Administrator's
name and choose "Chat with . . .".

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

Log Filter configuration documents
Introduced in Domino 6, Log Filters can be defined in events4.nsf; these filters specify which events get displayed on
the server console or added to the server log file. Events are filtered according to severity level and type. Please see
documents in the view named 'Filters / Log Filters' for more details. The severity and type of any event is defined in
the events4.nsf message documents. See documents in the view named 'Advanced / Event Messages by Task' for
more details.

In Domino 7, some of the message document Type values have been changed to more accurately describe events
defined by these documents. For example, some messages that had been defined with a type of 'Database' have been
changed to have a type of 'Security'. If you have defined Log Filters using Type, you may want to review their values.

Also in Domino 7, some of the message document Severity values have been changed to more accurately represent
events defined by these documents. If you have defined Log Filters using Severity, you may want to review their values
as well.

Domino Server
Orphaned documents left in DDM.nsf
In certain cases, documents have been found in a DDM.nsf that one wouldn't expect to be there based on the selective
replication formula. One example of this can occur after the formula is changed (due to a hierarchy change.) When
the last replication occurs with the former child server, any documents no longer contained on that server (let's say
they were deleted) won't be removed in the current server. This means that they are stuck there until removed by an
admin.
Workaround
Use Control-Shift View->Go To to go to the hidden the ($vwAllEvents). Look at the first column which is
OriginatingServer. Select all of the documents for those servers not in the selective replication formula and then
delete them.

Domino Server
Removing multiple copies of TCP and Mail probe documents
When the event process detects that there is no events4.nsf, it creates it. It then sets up certain default monitors by
creating documents in that database. One of those monitors is the probe documents for both TCP and Mail.
Normally, this is okay, however, this can lead to the following situation:

Server A is the admin (first) server in the domain. There is also a Server B. Server B's events4.nsf is deleted. So
it does the above steps. Events4.nsf then replicates with Server A and adds the new TCP and Mail probe
document to Server A's events4.nsf which eventually replicates the old probe docs back as well. So now there are
two copies of the TCP and Mail probe documents. Every time events4.nsf on Server B is blown away, this will
happen and over time will create more documents.

129
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

The code was changed to only create those default monitors on the first server. So deleting events4.nsf on any other
server won't result in new documents. However, since this problem may have occurred on your servers in the past
action should be taken to removing these unnecessary documents. To do this:
1. Open events4.nsf on your server.
2. Navigate to Event Generators -> TCP Server
3. In the view, find those documents that are categorized as All Servers. If you have multiple ones, remove all
but one of them.
4. Navigate to the view Event Generators -> Mail Routing and do the same.

Domino Server
Router "complains" about messages that contain no recipients
In the Beta releases, it was possible to create a DDM Mail probe configuration document without specifying a
recipient. The template has been fixed so that is no longer possible. However, if old configuration documents are still
present, the will cause the router to issue the following message:

Router: Message 00600F1C contains no recipients OF85256EAB:00600F1C

To correct the issue, simply delete the probe (since it is based on an old form), and recreate it.

Domino Web Access

Cannot insert multiple links in a table in a mail message
In the current release, if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer as your browser, you cannot insert more than one
link in a table that you have created in a mail message.

You can insert the link only in the last cell of the table. For example, if a table has 6 cells, you can insert the link only
in the sixth cell.

Changing your internet password in Domino Web Access
When you change your internet password, allow time for the server's AdminP process to run before the change takes
effect. You may have to wait anywhere from 5 minutes to several hours depending on how often the AdminP process is
set to run on the server.

When your Internet password is different from your Notes password:

� You may be prompted for a Synchronization Password the first time DOLS attempts to synchronize the offline
mail file. When such a prompt occurs, you must set the Synchronization Password to your Notes password.
DOLS will automatically save this password in your subscription synchronization preferences. When logging into
the database offline in a browser, use the same internet password you would use to log into the browser online.

Domino Web Access 7.0 limitations on Linux Mozilla
Following are the limitations using Domino Web Access 7.0 on Linux Mozilla:
General
� The first time you access Domino Web Access, you will get the following prompt. Check "Remember this decision"
and click the OK button so that Domino Web Access can work properly.

A script from "International Business Machines Corporation" has requested enhanced privileges. You should
grant these privileges only if you are comfortable downloading and executing a program from this source. Do
you wish to allow these privileges?

Local Archiving
Local archiving is not supported.

Preferences
You cannot set your default mail client in the Other Preferences.

Alarm
Even if you snooze an alarm, the alarm window will no longer pop up after you switch to another view (e.g., from Mail
to Calendar).

Proxy Support
Proxy support is not available in Linux Mozilla for this release.

Chat and Instant Messaging Integration

Online meetings are not supported with Mozilla, therefore if a Domino Web Access user is engaged in a chat session
and clicks on "Add Tools" none of the selectable options, such as screen sharing, whiteboard, audio or video, will work.

Domino Web Access Server Setup

You must have Sametime 3.1 or later to enable Chat and Instant Messaging (Sametime) integration in Mozilla. In
addition, you must enable Instant Messaging in Preferences in order to use Chat and Instant Messaging; previous
versions of Chat are not supported in Mozilla.
If your Sametime server is not on the same machine as your Domino Web Access server, you must copy Sametime
related files from the Sametime server to your Domino Web Access server. To do so, follow the steps below.

1. Copy the data\domino\html\sametime\stlinks directory from the Sametime server to the same location on your
Domino Web Access server. Create the Sametime directory if one does not exist.
2. Replace the data\domino\html\sametime\stlinks\stlinks.jar file on the Domino Wed Access server with a signed
version of stlinks.jar file. In Sametime 3.1, this file is in the Toolkit\stlinksignedapplet directory on the Sametime
3.1 installation CD 2; for Sametime 6.5.1, this file is in the <Sametime server
directory>\Data\domino\html\sametime\stlinks\signed.

Note: For more information on setting up Domino Web Access for Sametime, see the Domino Administration help.

Mozilla Browser Setup

You must install the Java Plug-in 1.4.1 before using Instant Messaging (Note: Do not use JRE 1.4.1_05). First install
the Java Plug-in on the Linux client and then create a symbolic link under the [Mozilla Installation Directory]/plugins
to point to the plug-in. Use the following procedure:

cd /
ln -s /usr/java/j2re[VERSION]/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so [Mozilla
Installation Directory]/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Restart Mozilla
Java Plug-in is a part of the Java Runtime Environment and you can download it from http://java.sun.com.

Note: To check if Java Plug-in is correctly installed, select [Help]-[About Plug-ins] to see "Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.1_xx" in
the plug-in list (where xx is revision number of Java Plug-in).

Offline
� Offline is supported on Mozilla 1.4.1 and 1.7 with SuSE 8.0/United Linux 1.0 SP3. Be sure to install the Red Hat
package named C/C++ Compiler and Tools.
� Only one offline Domino Web Access subscription is supported per Linux client. If you want to install a new
subscription on a Linux client that already has a Domino Web Access subscription installed offline, you must
uninstall the existing subscription first.
� Use the Go Online drop down menu to install, synchronize, schedule synchronization and reinstall your
subscription on the Linux client. The Domino Sync Manager is not available on Linux Mozilla. Instead, use DWA
Sync to synchronize your mail file on the Linux client.
� There must be a Mozilla script file in the usr/bin directory to be able to launch Offline from the desktop Offline
icon. The Mozilla script file is usually a part of the Mozilla installation and is located where Mozilla is installed.
Users may have to copy their script file to the usr/bin directory then edit it so it points to the directory where
Mozilla is installed.
� The Offline mail file is always installed to the user's $HOME directory.
� If you have a problem installing, synchronizing, or going offline, and receive a message that one of these services
is already running, you may need to reboot your system. After you reboot your system, remove files named
httploaded, synching, or downloading in the /usr/tmp directory. Then, retry the operation that was failing.

Upgrading DOLS
You must remove your current version of DOLS before you upgrade. For information on uninstalling Domino Off-Line
Services for Mozilla (on Linux clients), see the Domino Web Access help topic "Uninstall Domino Web Access from
Linux Mozilla."

Domino Web Access 7.0 offline issues
Following are the issues using Domino Web Access 7 offline:
Installing on Novell SuSE Linux
In order to install a Domino Web Access mail file offline on Novell SuSE Linux, the software package for "C/C++
compiler and tools" must be installed before the user attempts to go offline.
Installing on Firefox on Linux
The Firefox browser does not support signed XPI files currently so the install package appears as unsigned (invalid).
However you will be able to download and install successfully.

Login using full name

When logging in offline, you must use your full name, such as John Smith, instead of your short name, such as jsmith.

Domino Web Access secure mail issues
Following are the issues using secure mail in Domino Web Access:

Signed Mail
When a signed message is sent from an account that has an Internet certificate included in the imported Notes ID to a
recipient that does not have an imported Notes ID, the signed icon appears broken to the recipient with the mouseover
message: "Could not open the ID file."

Notes Signed Mail Sent via SMTP

Notes signed mail sent via SMTP will have the signature removed before it is delivered to the recipient.

Notes Encrypted Mail Sent via SMTP

Notes encrypted mail sent via SMTP may have problems such as loss of attachments, or mail in which the body of the
message cannot be read by the recipient.

Notes Signed and S/MIME Encrypted mail

If you are offline, and have a Notes certificate (no Internet certificate) and you try to send an S/MIME signed and
encrypted message to a recipient with only an Internet Certificate, you will get a 'No Delivery' Report message.

Workaround: Both the sender and the recipient must have the same type of certificates to send signed and encrypted
messages.

Using name resolution when encrypting a message

If you want to send an encrypted message, you must check "encrypt" before you click the check name button or
press F9 for name resolution. If you use F9 or the check name button before you enable encryption, you will get an
encryption failure.

Requiring SSL to use Secure Mail

When you receive the message box informing you that you are switching to SSL, do not click X to close the box. You
must click OK and allow the switch to SSL to occur.

Important: Within the scope of a directory search, all group names must be unique. Make sure that there are no like
named groups in different domains.

� Disable GZIP compression.

Domino Web Access

Use LDAP Mail attribute for Domino Web Access Instant Messaging
The Mail attribute is a required entry when using LDAP for Instant Messaging in Domino Web Access.
When using Instant Messaging in Domino Web Access to resolve names that exist in an LDAP directory server, the mail
attribute for the LDAP directory entry must include a valid e-mail address value. For example, the directory entry for
John Brown could look something like this:

dn: cn=John Brown, o=Yourorg

givenname: John
sn: Brown
mail: [email protected]

If an entry is found in the LDAP directory that does NOT contain a value for the mail attribute, the value entered will be
removed. This affects groups more than user entries, because the LDAP object classes "groupOfNames" and
"groupOfUniquenames" do not include the mail attribute. This could, however, affect entries of type "Person" and
"organizationalPerson" since these object classes do not support the mail attribute either. Most LDAP directories do
support the "inetOrgPerson" object class, and mail is an optional value of this object class. For those using Domino as
an LDAP directory server, the "dominoPerson" object class inherits from the "inetOrgPerson" object class, where mail is
supported.

For more information on creating and editing the Offline subscription Configuration Profile document, see the Domino
Administration help topic "Configuring the DOLS subscription."

Domino Web Access

Using SSL with Domino Web Access
If the DWA secure mail features (such as decryption, encryption) will be used, It is strongly recommended that you set
the "Require SSL to access secure mail features" setting in the Domino Web Access tab of the Configuration Settings
document to either "Client" or "Both." In addition, for performance reasons, it is best to use an SSL accelerator product
in front of the Domino server to off-load the SSL protocol overhead. Please refer to chapter 3 of the IBM Redbook
"Domino Web Access 6.5 on Linux" for a complete discussion of DWA deployment considerations.

You can also force users to access the server via SSL by enabling the "Redirect TCP to SSL" setting on the Security tab
of the Web Site document, or by enabling the "Require SSL connection" setting on the Basics tab of the mail file
database properties. However, note that if SSL is required for secure mail operations, but a non-SSL secure mail
request is made, DWA will attempt to switch the request to SSL automatically. If this cannot be done, the request will
fail.

Deselected custom components issue during upgrade
During a Domino server upgrade, custom components selected for a custom install are not supported by ISMP; you
must re-select the custom components.

Domino Server
Domino 7 cannot install Partition Server over Single Server
On Windows platforms, the Domino 7 installer program makes a distinction between a Single Server Installation and a
Partition Server Installation.
A Single Server installation will consist of a single Program directory, and a single Data directory. The NOTES.INI file,
which contains configuration information for the server, will be stored in the Program directory. This has been
maintained in Domino 7 in order to support previous versions of the Notes/Domino server.
A Partition Server installation will consist of a single Program directory, and multiple Data directories. Because each
server has a different configuration, each server must have its own NOTES.INI file. Because of this, the NOTES.INI file
will be stored in the Data directory of each partition.
The Domino 7 installer does not support upgrading or reinstalling a Partition server over an existing Single server.
This is because the NOTES.INI file cannot safely be relocated without making significant changes to its contents.
If a user has an existing Single server installation, and needs to replace this with a Partition server installation, then
the Single server should be Uninstalled, using the Add/Remove programs utility in Windows. Then the user must copy
the NOTES.INI from the Program Directory to the Single servers Data directory. The Data files from the Single server
will be left behind in the original Data directory. Next, the user may install a new Partition server, using the same
location as the original Program Directory. The original Data directory can be selected as one of the new Partitions,
as well as other Data directories that will be created by the installer. After the Partition server installation is complete,
the original server will be one of the new Partitions installed, and should function normally.

Domino and OS/400 signatures
When installing Domino 7 for iSeries, 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 OS/400 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 for iSeries, the system value QVFYOBJRST must be set to a value of 3 or lower prior to
installing Domino.

After installation of Domino for iSeries has completed, the system value may be changed back to a more restrictive
setting.

An example of changing the system value QVFYOBJRST is provided below:

Scriptable Client Setup and Instant Messaging configuration
Here are some known issues to be aware of when using the Scriptable Client Setup feature to configure Instant
Messaging:

� If the IM.Protocol variable is set to 3 ('Use proxy'), the IM.ProxyType variable is required. If this variable is left
out of the script, the IM Setup dialog is supposed to display during Client Setup so that the user can enter the
missing value. At this time, the dialog does not display. As a result, the user may experience connection
problems because the Proxy Type defaults to SOCKS4. To correct this, either be sure to include this variable in
the Script or ask the user to edit their location documents and update the Instant Messaging tab to reflect the
correct Proxy Type.
� The IM.ServerNameResolve variable seems to be ignored by Scriptable Setup. The 'Resolve server name locally'
field is always enabled in the IM Setup - IM Proxy dialog whether the variable is included in the Script or not.
Despite the field being enabled in the dialog during Client Setup, it is always disabled in the location doc, except
as noted below.
� The IM.ServerNameResolve variable acts as if it is required when the IM.ProxyType variable is set to 1
('SOCKS5'). Specifically, if a Script sets IM.ProxyType to 1 and leaves out the IM.ServerNameResolve variable
(this should be ok since the variable is optional), the IM Setup dialog will display during Client Setup so that the
user can enter the missing value. In addition, the user will find the checkbox for this field is enabled even though
the variable was not included in the script. This checkbox will remain enabled upon completion of the Client
Setup in the location document.

SERVER_AVAILABILITY_THRESHOLD setting prevents new client setup
When clustered mail servers have the "SERVER_AVAILABILITY_THRESHOLD=xx" setting, and both servers' availability

This only happens when sending to an internet address (iCal). The fix is to have both servers observe DST when in the
same timezone.

Desktop Settings and 'Accounts' tab
Some Desktop Settings may require authentication with the mail server multiple times, and several Notes Client
exit/relaunches before displaying on the Notes Client. This can occur if the Desktop Settings document contains no
values on the "Account" tab, or if the accounts being deployed do not generate an error message upon completion of a
new Client Setup.
For example, creating new accounts via Policies can sometimes result in an error message if the server is not
available, or if network login information is required to access the account (please reference the release note entitled
"'IMAP4 Server Error' when deploying Policies to Notes Client"). It has been found that if the user does not encounter
an error message on creation of a new account deployed via Policies, most other settings from the Policy will require
many authentications with the mail server before displaying on the Notes Client.

Workaround
Use the "By Hierarchy" view to see a list of the policies for sub-groups under the correct hierarchy, and you can then
expand and collapse the view to see where the setting resides.

After installing a new version of Notes 7, you may receive an error message:
The policy and/or settings document assigned to you has been edited by an
unauthorized person. Please notify your Administrator that you cannot proceed

The Notes setup will not be completed. This issue occurs because the person who set up the Desktop and/or Setup
policy assigned to the user no longer has Editor rights on the server's Domino Directory database.

Users can contact their Domino administrator to modify the documents, or, if "Setup=700007" is added to the user's
NOTES.INI file, setup will complete, but the Notes client setup will no longer look for a policy document.

Setup Policies not supported for Roaming Users
Setup Policies are not supported for Roaming Users. You'll find that if a Roaming User with an assigned Setup Policy
performs a new client setup, most of the Policy settings will not display on the Client. This occurs because the Policy
settings are copied down to the client upon completion of the new client setup and then replication of the roaming
databases occurs. Since the majority of Policy settings are stored in the roaming databases, replication of the
existing roaming databases overwrites the newly copied-down Policy settings.

To work around this issue for Roaming Users, simply use Desktop Policies, which contain all of the same fields as the
Setup Policies.

Setup Profiles, Setup Settings & Bookmark creation
When using the R5 Setup Profiles feature or the Setup Settings feature, it is likely that bookmarks will not be created
on the Notes Client for database links in the Setup Profile or Setup Settings document if the server on which the
database is located is not running when the user performs their initial Client Setup. If the server is launched at a later time,
the bookmarks may still not be created on the user's Notes Client.
One workaround for this would be to include critical bookmark links in a Desktop Settings document, which will refresh
on the Client once the server comes back up.

Setup/Desktop Policies: need to exit & re-launch Notes Client
There are some field values from the Setup & Desktop Settings documents that will not display on the Notes Client
until the next session in Notes. These include most User Preference settings and may include Bookmarks and/or a
Custom Welcome Page. If these settings don't display after an initial Client Setup or authentication with the mail
server, try exiting and then re-launching the Notes Client; the settings should now display.
This occurs because certain settings are stored in cache upon launching the Notes Client. Changes to the field values
are not reflected until the Notes Client is exited & then re-launched.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Designer

Setup/Desktop Policies: no Bookmarks, Welcome Page/Workplace
In some cases, it's possible that a user who is assigned both a Setup Policy & a Desktop Policy will not receive the
bookmarks from the Desktop Policy or a custom Welcome Page/Workplace when they perform a new client setup.

If a user reports this problem, simply make a small change to the Desktop Policy, then save & close the Policy
document. When the user next authenticates, the bookmarks & custom Welcome Page/Workplace should flow down
to the Notes Client and display correctly.

Notes Client, Domino Designer, Domino Server

Long formula language expression can cause stack overflow
If a long formula expression is executed, excessive recursion can occur, which will cause a stack overflow and crash
the Notes Client or Domino Server. To date, this has only been seen on the AIX platform, but applies to other
platforms as well. An example of a formula which will cause this kind of problems is:

MyListOfCodes := "code1" : "code2" : "code3" : "code4" : "code5" : "code6" : ... : "code892" : "code893";

which is a long list of strings. The number of elements that makes the expression "too long" is platform and system
dependent, but a good rule of thumb is to keep the number of operands below 500.

147
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

A workaround is to use smaller expressions, store intermediate results, and then use the intermediate results in a final
expression:

MyList1 := "code1" : "code2" : "code3" : "code4" : "code5" : "code6" ... "code488" : "Code 489";
MyList2 := "Code490" : "code491" : "Code492" : "Code493" ... "Code892" : "code893":
MyListOfCode := MyList1 : MyList2;

If you have an application which is crashing due to this problem, then in your NOTES.INI file set
FORMULA_STACKLOWCHK=1. This is currently only implemented for AIX, but will likely expand to other platforms as
needed. This will cause the formula runtime engine to check for an impending stack overflow, and will abort the
formula evaluation if an overflow is imminent. This will prevent Notes/Domino from crashing, but the formula will
return an error. You should use @IsError to check if your formula evaluted to completion.

NotesDocument.CreateMIMEEntity() can result in error
NotesDocument.CreateMIMEEntity() (and the corresponding Java call) can result in a "Note item not found" error when
the document has no items. For example:
Set doc = db.CreateDocument
Set body = doc.CreateMIMEEntity
would trigger the error since the new document has no items.

The workaround is to introduce to the document an arbitrary item before the CreateMIMEEntity call. For example:
Set doc = db.CreateDocument
Call doc.ReplaceItemValue("xyz", "123")
Set body = doc.CreateMIMEEntity
The exact item name and value does not matter.

Recompiling Visual Basic programs that use backend COM APIs
Starting with Notes/Domino 6.0.3/6.5, some Microsoft Visual Basic language applications built using the
Notes 5.x COM interfaces for backend classes would not run properly without recompiling, using the
6.0.3/6.5 domobj type library. This was fixed for Notes/Domino versions 6.5.3 and 6.0.5, however, the fix
necessitates that applications still compiled with the 6.0.3/6.5 domobj type library (or later, if prior to
6.5.3 or 6.0.5) be recompiled for 6.5.3, 6.0.5 or later. Thereafter and with subsequent Notes/Domino
releases, recompilation should not be necessary.

XML parsing and Transformation Engines for Java
In previous releases, Notes/Domino provided a version of the XML Parser called XML4j.jar, and a version of the XSL
Transformation Engine called LotusXSL.jar. These libraries no longer ship with Notes/Domino because newer versions
of these engines are now part of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition.

The Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, as it ships with Notes/Domino, has built-in facilities for handling XML data.
For information on these facilities, see the javadocs provided with the installation kit; they are located in the
Notes/Domino program directory, in the zip-compressed file called javadocs.zip.

The starting page in the javadocs about handling XML data in the Java 2 Platform is the file guide\xml\index.html.
Alternatively, the starting point for the complete Java documentation is in the file index.html.

Additional Notes
Some customer applications written in Domino R5 or Domino 6 had been written to use more recent versions of the
XML Parser or XSLT Transformation engines than the ones that Notes/Domino provided. This was typically achieved
by downloading a more current version of xerces.jar from apache.org and including it with the Java Agent project or
Java Script Library. In many cases this will cause no problems in ND7, but it should be noted that including your own
copy of xerces.jar in your agent or script library is no longer necessary and removing this large jar file will improve
agent startup time.

148
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

In some applications, including xerces.jar in your agent/script library will cause the agent to fail with the error:
"Java.lang.VerifyError:Incompatible object argument for method call".

The reason for this problem is that the application was coded to create the parser class in a manner that is not
forward compatible. Here is an example of an application that is written to parse an XML stream in a non-forward
compatible manner. The problem is that the org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser class is private to xerces.jar and is
likely to change with every version of xerces.jar.

Sample Java code to create a SAX parser in a forward incompatible manner

import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import java.io.InputStream;
public class test
{
void parse(InputStream stream)
throws Exception
{
org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser parser = new
org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser();
parser.setContentHandler(engine);
parser.setErrorHandler(engine);
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", false);
parser.setFeature("
http://apache.org/xml/features/continue-after-fatal-error", false);
parser.parse(new InputSource(stream));
// ....
}
}

The better way to create a parser that does not make your application dependant on a specific version of xerces.jar is
to use the org.xml.sax.XMLReader interface class. For example:

import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import java.io.InputStream;
public class sample
{
void parse(InputStream stream)
throws Exception
{
org.xml.sax.XMLReader parser = new org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser();
parser.setContentHandler(engine);
parser.setErrorHandler(engine);
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", false);
parser.setFeature("
http://apache.org/xml/features/continue-after-fatal-error", false);
parser.parse(new InputSource(stream));
// ...
}
}

Another alternative that works without directly naming the name of the SAX parser class is to use the
XMLReaderFactory class to create the XMLReader. It works by reading the system property named "org.xml.sax.driver"
and will create an instance of the parser named. In ND7 the following statement creates the same parser class as the
one in the previous example, but it provides the option to change the parser without changing any code:

org.xml.sax.XMLReader parser =
org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();

@Contains does not work properly with DBCS containing nulls
If @Contains is used with DBCS, and either the source or search string contains an embedded null, and the source
and search string contain DBCS characters that are the same character but with different code points, then the results
will be incorrect. What happens is that when dealing with DBCS strings, the formula engine converts the strings to
Unicode before processing the @Contains. An embedded null (generated by @Char(0) in Formula Language) is
treated as a string terminator within the Unicode string. If either the source or search string argument to @Contains
has an embedded null in this situation, they will be treated as terminating just before the null byte is encountered.

However, @Contains uses a simple algorithm before it converts to Unicode. It does a simple byte-by-byte compare of
the search string within the source string argument. So even in the presence of DBCS, if all the equivalent multi-byte
characters in the search and source strings have the same code point (in LMBCS, the character set used internally by
Notes/Domino) then @Contains will function correctly.

Roaming Downgrade fails to remove databases from Replicator Page
In some instances, a Roaming User Downgrade will fail to remove the Roaming databases from the user's Replicator
Page. As a result, replication for these databases will fail because the databases have been deleted from the server.
To work around this, simply delete the entries from the Replicator Page. Also, if the user has no other databases on
their Replicator Page, they may choose to edit their location document and disable the replication on launch and exit
features.

This seems to occur for users who set up their Notes Client as a Roaming User and are later downgraded from
Roaming. If the user upgraded to Roaming on the Notes Client, the Roaming databases are successfully removed
from the Replicator Page.

Roaming User Client setup - 'Connection denied' message
If a Roaming User performs a new Client Setup and their Domino Server requires additional information to connect
during Setup, they may receive this error: Connection denied. You requested server x.xx.xxx.xxx but connected to

is being generated. Simply click 'OK' at the message and Notes Setup will complete without further errors.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Designer

Roaming User Client Setup that requires server connection doc
If the Notes Client requires a connection document to access the Roaming server, the user may receive replication
error messages during a new Client Setup. Specifically, once the user has selected the default location, the following
errors may display:
� Connection denied. You requested server x.xx.xxx.xxx but connected to <servername/domain>
� The server is not responding. The server may be down or you may be experiencing network problems. Contact your
system administrator if this problem persists

Simply click 'OK' at both error messages and Setup will complete.

The user may also notice that replication on launch also fails with the same error. If this occurs, simply open the mail
file, go back to the Replicator Page, and click 'Start Now' to manually replicate the databases. Replication should be
successful from this point forward. This is a one time problem, on a new Client Setup.

To avoid this problem, the user can enter the server's IP address, instead of the Domino server name during Client
Setup. This will direct the Client more clearly to the user's server.

the IM Setup dialog.

However, for Notes7.0, if a Roaming User performs a new Client Install/Setup (subsequent client setup), they will
never see this dialog. This is working as designed because the user's IM configuration will roam via their personal
address book. Just as the Additional Options dialog does not display in this scenario, the IM Setup dialog will not

Roaming User Upgrade: User says 'No', remains In Progress
Once the Administrator initiates a Roaming User Upgrade, the user's Roaming status ('user can roam' field on
Roaming tab of person document) is changed to In Progress. This status will be automatically updated to 'Yes' once
the user has upgraded at least one Notes Client to Roaming. However, if the user never upgrades any of their Notes
Clients, their Roaming status will remain in the 'In Progress' status indefinitely. There are two courses of action to
change their Roaming status:

1. Ask the user to perform a new Notes Client install and run through the Client Setup process: if the user installs
a new Notes Client on their system and launches the Client into Setup, they will be prompted to upgrade to
Roaming at the end of Setup. The user should select 'Yes' at this time, which will move the Upgrade process
forward and update their Roaming status to 'Yes'. The down side to this solution is that the user must re-create
their bookmarks, re-populate their personal address book, and reset any user preferences they had in place on
their other Notes Client. But once these settings are restored, they will Roam to the user's other Notes Clients.
2. Administrator initiates a Roaming Downgrade and then re-initiates the Roaming Upgrade: if the Administrator
initiates a Roaming User Downgrade, the user's Roaming status will be changed to No. The Administrator can
then initiate a Roaming Upgrade for the user, which will set the user's Roaming status to In Progress. Once the
user accepts the request to upgrade, their Roaming status will be changed to Yes.

Roaming Users should replace design of Personal Address Book
Once a Roaming User has upgraded their Notes Client to the new release, they should replace design on their

In particular, as of Notes 6.5, there is a new IM Setup dialog in Client Setup that allows users to configure Instant
Messaging for use within their Notes Client. A newly registered Roaming User will see the IM Setup dialog when they
perform their 1st Notes Client Install/Setup. In addition, when a Roaming User upgrades their existing Notes Client,
they will also see the IM Setup dialog. The IM configuration settings from this dialog are stored on the Instant
Messaging tab in the location documents in the Personal Address Book. The user must replace design on their

Each user has the option in their Location document to either turn on or turn off Replication upon launching Notes
(the field is labelled "Replicate when Notes starts"). Other than turning this option On or Off, you may also select to be
prompted before Replicating upon Notes startup. A dialog displays, giving the user the option to replicate (select
"Yes") or not replicate (select "No"). Please note the important recommendations below regarding these options if you
are a Roaming User.
Recommendations
� It is not recommended that you select "No" when prompted for the dialog to start Replication upon Notes Startup.
� If you select to initialize (start) the Replicator upon launching Notes, do not shut down Notes while the Replication
process is still running.

What will happen if you do not initialize Replication upon launching Notes:
1. The prompting dialogs (upon shutdown) for the Cleanup feature tend to be in a different order then if you had
initialized Replication upon launching Notes for that session. For example, if you are an "On Prompt" cleanup
User, you may be asked to clean up your data before being prompted to send your data to the server.
2. If a User exits Notes (electing not to clean up their data), and continues to re-launch Notes immediately, they
may run into an fatal error when Notes is eventually exited and "Yes" is selected for the 'Send data to the
server' option. The fatal error says "Unable to Invoke Program" and Notes closes when OK is clicked in the
error dialog. The situation has to be just right to receive this error, but it may cause a User to lose their data
if they have confirmed cleanup of their data prior to receiving this error.

To avoid this problem, upon Launching Notes, open the Replicator page (from the bookmark icon) before
proceeding with any work. This will reset the Replicator page and avoid a potential error message later. The
Replicator page may be closed or left open on the Notes desktop.

Notes Client
Setup will not roam on clean install with old password
In the following scenario, the roaming user setup does not complete properly:

1. For a Roaming User whose password has expired, the password of the ID file on Workstation #1 is changed, but is
not changed for the ID file on Workstation #2.
2. Perform a clean install on Workstation #2 so that it runs through the Notes Client setup.
3. During setup, select that you want to connect to a Domino server - you will receive the error "File has been
truncated".
4. Deselect that option, and run through the setup. However, since you are not connected, you cannot roam.
5. Try to open the mail file - Notes indicates the file can not be found. What this actually indicates is that the
password needs to be changed, as the roaming user did not have the option to store their ID file in their personal
NAB.

Workaround
When the ID file is changed to the correct password before the clean install on Workstation #2, everything behaves the
way it should for a roaming user.

Avoid full-text indexing error caused by failed IO operation
IO retry facilities have been implemented, which help prevent errors experienced by GTR indexing and failed IO
routines, perhaps caused by third-party anti-virus facilities. When attempting to rename a file or subdirectory, or
attempting to delete a file or subdirectory, the IO operation re-attempts for up to 2 minutes. Once 2 minutes have
elapsed, and if the operation is still unsuccessful, then an error condition will be raised.

If 2 minutes (the default retry time) is not sufficient, use FTG_IO_RETRY=xx to change the IO retry delay, anywhere
from 0 seconds (the minimum value) to 600 seconds (or 10 minutes, the maximum value). It is not acceptable for the
IO retry mechanism to be unbounded.

A default limit of 2 minutes is adequate for both server and client implementations. Specifically, these facilities
resolve GTR\IO errors: errcode = 2304 and errcode = 1806.

File system deletion error in catalog.nsf
If the Domino Server has several file systems on the same machine, when deleting one or more file systems from the
Domain Catalog, administrators will sometimes encounter the error:
The file system which should be deleted still exists in Domain Index view
and the corresponding IDX folder does not get deleted. Additionally, some folders which should remain in the Domain
Index will be incorrectly removed; when the domain indexer task runs, the index error messages will appear on the
console.

To correct the corrupted Domain Catalog and Index, the incorrect entries in the Domain Catalog must be removed and
the Domain Index rebuilt:
1. In the Domain Catalog, recreate the file system entries which should not be removed.
2. Go to the Domain Index view, and delete the file systems which should not exist in the catalog.
3. Rebuild the Domain Index by running the tell domidx quit, load domidx -d, and load domidx -s
commands.
4. Restart the server.

Help may need new full-text index after multiple upgrades
If you've clicked the Search button in any earlier version of the Help databases and you upgrade to Domino 7,
overwriting the previous Help databases, you may see the error message "The full text index needs to be rebuilt" the
next time you open Help and click Search.

To rebuild the index:

1. Click OK to close the error message dialog box.
2. While in the Search view in Help, click the small black triangle at the right edge of the search bar to show more
options.
3. Click the "Update Index" button (maximize the Help window if you can't see it), and click OK in the next dialog
box.
4. Before searching, wait until the status bar shows a message saying that indexing is finished, and the circle in the
search bar turns green with the word "Indexed" next to it.

Improve full-text search performance and memory usage
You can improve performance when performing full-text searches on large databases, and possibly prevent "full text
memory allocation error = 3301", particularly on large databases with many unique, numeric fields.
To optimize full-text indexing and search settings, implement the following NOTES.INI entries in step-by-step order of
implementation\verification, followed by server restart:

1. FTG_DISABLE_PAGING=1
2. FTG_SET_INITIAL_BUFLEN=7000 (or 6000, or 5000)
3. FTG_USE_SYS_MEMORY=1

Manually loading domain index need quit the scheduled task
If choosing to run "Domain indexer" manually, you must first run the "tell domidx quit" command, and then the "load
domidx -s" command, which prevents a "scheduled" domain-indexer from competing with a "forced or non-scheduled"
domain indexer.

If rebuilding the Domain Index is required, the scheduled "Domain indexer" also needs to be quit first, following the
steps below:
1. Stop the domain indexer using the command: tell domidx q
2. Delete the indexes using the command: load domidx -d
3. Use a Notes client to delete the documents under the view "Domain Indexer Status\by Indexing Server" from
catalog.nsf.
4. Reload the domain indexer to rebuild the index file using the command (to rebuild the Domain Search index
immediately): load domidx -s
5. Restart server.

Domino Web Access

Multiple words can not be highlighted from a web browser
Multiple word highlights are not supported by web browsers. Although combining the single word searches following
the search syntax can be an alternative, the number of returned documents will most likely increase. For example:

From a web browser, search the character string "highlight words" - the document which contains this string can be
found in results, but the "highlight words" string can not be highlighted.

If you want to receive a highlight result, using "highlight" and "words" as a combined search string; the string can be
highlighted in the results, but the number of result entries may be more than in the first instance.

Notes error with report when reports.nsf is full-text indexed
When the Reports database (reports.nsf) is full-text indexed, administrators might see one of two behaviors when
running a report once (Run this report = Once). An error such as "Notes error: No document found" or
blank/incomplete results will be observed.

To avoid this, delete the index of the database, or simply run the report through the Domino Web Administrator.
Scheduled reports should not be affected.

Preventing a full-text indexing GTR crash during a GTR merge
There is a facility that identifies bad record data in GTR KeyFiles during merging operations from a supplemental
index or during merging into a main index. This facility is off by default.
Use FTG_ENABLE_GTR_KEY_CHECK=1 to enable this facility. In NOTES.INI, bad key records are identified with
errcode=2247, errcode=2248, errcode=2249, errcode=2250, and errcode=2251, and a crash is avoided.

Search CJK character strings in Text field
If an Asian language search string in the Text field of a document contains a carriage return or word wrapping, the

Search query troubleshooting and limitations
Following are the issues related to full-text searching in Notes/Domino 7:

� NOT queries must be correctly formatted; in the example below, the NOT (!) operator is ignored:

Incorrect format: [body] ! director

The correct format for this query is: NOT ([body] contains (director))

156
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

� You may experience problems searching in the Names and Address Book database. Performing a "fielded"
search, using the wildcard option with the singular letters A through F, may not return all valid search results.
This is a Search Engine software limitation.

Example: FIELD lastname CONTAINS A*

Workaround
Increase the number for letters, before the wildcard character (*), to 2 letters.

� Error "Query is not understandable" may be given if the search query is created with a Query "condition" and any
string, but without space between the two. The Search Engine can process a query using the operator symbols
(!&,|) without spaces between query words and the operator symbols. However, when using a Query Condition
Token (instead of a text string), the query requires a space between the operator symbol and the second text
string.

Workaround
Insert a space between the query parts.

� Documents are not found when the search query is formatted like: word1.<space>word2 (<space> means that
the 'space bar' was pressed).

Workaround
Surround the query with double quotation marks: "word1.<space>word2"

� The ACCRUE operator fails when the query is complex. The ACCRUE operator doesn't return the correct relevance
order if the query includes additional search parts. This is a search engine limitation, it does not honor
precedence set by parenthesis.

Example of problem query: (word1) AND (word2 ACCRUE word3 ACCRUE word4 ACCRUE word5)

� The Search Engine does not support the Macintosh 10000 Code page.

Domino Server
Setting a character set for full-text indexing plain-text files
The Domino server uses the Verity KeyView filter for retrieving content from binary attachments. The KeyView filter
takes care of character set information of each binary attachment file, so that Domino full-text indexes binary
attachment files, regardless of a locale configuration. This, however, is not the case for plain-text files, because a
plain-text file has no character set information. The Domino server handles plain-text files under the assumption that
they are written in the character set that is the same as the character set of the current locale of the server.

You can check the current locale of the Domino server by entering "show locale" at the console; the response would be
something like this:
Region: en-US [English(United States)]
Collation: en [Latin1]
CSID: 52(Hex)
NOTE: Domino uses the CSID value to determine the character set of Text Attachments files

When the character set of a text file you want to full-text search is different from that of the server, full-text search does
not work. You can avoid this problem by explicitly setting FT_KVCS_UNKNOWN_CSID=CharacterSetVal in the
NOTES.INI file. FT_KVCS_UNKNOWN_CSID overrides the character set value that Domino server uses for handling
plain-text files. For example, if you want to full-text search plain-text files written in Shift_JIS (a Japanese character
set) on 'C' locale, you set FT_KVCS_UNKNOWN_CSID=12 in the Domino server's NOTES.INI file.

To eliminate highlight \ attachment re-filtering
To disable attachment filtering during highlight processing (i.e., when a document is opened), set the variable:
FT_LIMIT_HIGHLIGHT_FILTER=###
where ### represents the size of files to be excluded from attachments or highlight filtering

If set to FT_LIMIT_HIGHLIGHT_FILTER=1, then no file will be re-filtered upon search and highlight document open.
If set to FT_LIMIT_HIGHLIGHT_FILTER=1000000, then files 1000000 bytes or larger will skip highlight re-filtering.

Domino Server
Verity Keyview Filter Support switches off/on for z/OS
Domino 7 for z/OS uses the Verity Keyview filter for retrieving text from binary attachments.

To enable this feature, a database has to be full-text indexed with the option to index binary attachments. Indexing
attachments as raw text will continue to operate as before, and does not use the Keyview filter. The Keyview filter can
be enabled or disabled for the entire server by specifying the NOTES.INI setting of
FT_BINARY_FILTER_OFF

A value of FT_BINARY_FILTER_OFF=0, or no setting present in the NOTES.INI file, indicates that Keyview filter will be
used, and is the default setting. A value of FT_BINARY_FILTER_OFF=1 indicates Keyview filter will not be used.

This NOTES.INI setting allows administrators to shut off the filter without having to change the indexing options on all
databases that have the binary attachment option turned on.

Domino Server, Domino for z/OS

z/OS HFS expand option for full-text indexes
The Full Text Index function automatically extends the size of the file system being indexed rather than immediately
failing the request when the existing file system size is insufficient. This feature does not apply to z/FS file systems.

To enable this function, specify the following in NOTES.INI:

OS390_EXPANDHFS_ENABLE=1

When OS390_EXPANDHFS_ENABLE is enabled in NOTES.INI, an attempt is made to expand the file system in the
same volume. If this fails and the following NOTES.INI is also set, then there is a second attempt to expand the file
system into additional volumes. Expands into additional volumes are successful only if the file system was defined as
a multi volume HFS.

OS390_EXPAND_NEXT_VOL = 1

Each time a file system is successfully expanded, the following is an example of what the Domino server console
displays:

02/22/2002 08:21:46 PM OS390_EXPANDHFS_ENABLE=1 successfully expanded

file-system-name fornn Megabytes

If running on z/FS, the following error message that will be displayed because BPX1PCT pfsctl() does not support the
extend file system command on z/FS.

Error Expand File System Failed errno = 134 errno2 = 11B300BA "EDC5134I
Function not implemented."
02/22/2002 08:14:54 PM OS390_EXPANDHFS_ENABLE=1 Failure to expand file system
file-system-name for nn Megabytes

If an attempt is made to expand a file system with no more space left on the device (volume or multiple volumes), the
following is an example of what the Domino server console displays:

Error Expand File System Failed errno = 133 errno2 = 5B27C005 "EDC5133I No
space left on device."
02/22/2002 08:21:46 PM OS390_EXPANDHFS_ENABLE=1 Failure to expand file system

"Word variant" searches - i.e., "stemming"
The purpose of "word variance" or "stemming" is to determine the "root" word from a constructed word and its suffixes.
As an example, the root word of "settlement" is "settle". The suffixes of the word are first inspected, and then
truncated. These suffixes are:
"S", "ED", "ING", "ER", "OR", "ERS", "ORS", "ION", "IVE", "ABLE", "ABLED", and "MENT"
All joined suffixes will be eliminated, for example "inger" will be removed because both "ER" and "ING" are suffixes.
Once the suffixes have been eliminated, further letters will be eliminated, depending on vowel and consonant ordering.
Double consonants of the same letter will be eliminated; for example, "hammer" will eliminate the "er" suffix and
then the trailing "m".

Other characters\suffixes which may possibly be removed are "Y" preceded by a consonant, for example, "candy",
which would also resolve to "candies" because first the "s" suffix is first removed and then the "ie" is removed because it
is preceded by a consonant.

The "Word variant" search only applies to English searches (i.e., all characters in the search MUST be
less than hex 0x7B). If any character (as entered in the search bar) does not meet this criterion, then a "word variant"
search will not occur; the search will proceed with no stemming taking place.

MIME - Body of message is blank on received encrypted message
The body of MIME-encrypted messages are occasionally blank upon receipt. This may occur because groups in the

Creating a Certificate Authority db requires adding Role to ACL
When an Administrator user attempts to create a new Certificate Authority database using the cca50.ntf database,
they will receive the following error message:

"You are not authorized to perform that operation: <servername database name>"

This occurs because the template for the Certificate Authority database, cca50.ntf, does not contain sufficient Access
Control information to allow any user to create a Certificate Authority database. The templates ACL must first be
edited by a User with Administrator privileges in order to permit this. Follow these steps to enable the cca50.ntf
template for creating a Certificate Authority database:

1) Log into a client as a user with Administrator privileges on the server.

2) Select File-> Database-> Open to open a database.
3) In the Open database dialogue, select the cca50.ntf file on the server (you will have to type in the filename, since
template are not listed).
4) In the opened template, select File-> Database -> Access Control.
5) In the ACL dialogue, select the user that you want to be able to create a Certificate Authority database.
6) In the Roles section, check the checkbox for "CAPrivilegedUser".
7) Click OK and exit the dialogue. Then exit the template.

Missing key file name generates errors in SSL-enabled lookup
The key file for outbound SSL for LDAP directory assistance and SMTP outbound is configured in the Server document
(Ports -> Internet ports). If the key file specified is missing, or cannot otherwise be opened, "SSL Error: Keyring File
access error" messages will appear on the server console upon server startup and when directory assistance is being
used.
If Internet Site documents are enabled for the server, the configuration for the key file value is hidden.
A 'silent' error situation can occur if there is no value, or a value not ending in ".kyr", in the key ring file field on the
Server document, and the server attempts to use Directory Assistance; SSL will run but the server cannot establish
trust with the Directory Assistance server. You can create trust either by configuring the key file field, as described
below, or by creating an Internet cross-certificate for the Directory Assistance server.

Workarounds
To configure the key ring file name if Internet Site documents are enabled, do the following:
1. Disable the server's use of Internet Site documents by disabling the option "Load Internet configurations from
Server\Internet Sites documents" on the Basics tab of the Server document.
2. On the Server document, click Ports -> Internet Ports and, in the SSL settings section, enter the SSL key file
name.
3. Re-enable the Internet Site documents option.

If the keyfile name does not end in ".kyr", rename the keyring and stash (.sth) file names correctly and make sure that
the correct file name appears in the SSL key file name field in the Server document.

In Domino 7, the procedure documented in the Domino 7 Administrator Help topic "Adding a Notes cross-certificate
by phone" does not work. The following error message is generated:
Server Error:The subject's public key found in the cross certificate does not match the one found in the certificate table"

The value of the certified public key in cross certificate created in the procedure does not match the value of the
cross-certificates created using the Domino Administrator.

Notes Client
Smartcard configuration details fail to update for new user
There is a known issue that occurs when a Smartcard is configured to use two USB slots. If you switch to a new user,
the User Security dialog box shows only the slot used by the previous user. The new user can not select a USB slot.
Workarounds
Place both users' Smartcards in both configured slots when starting Notes

or

Place the Smartcard in the selected empty slot and restart Notes.

Domino Administrator Client, Notes Client, Domino Server

Smartcards no longer need to be in the first occupied "slot"
Previous versions of Notes/Domino were only capable of using smartcards and other cryptographic tokens that were in
the first "slot", as presented by the smartcard vendor's PKCS#11 library.

The problem has been fixed in this release. A new dialog has been added that can be used to select the token or slot
used to smartcard-enable an ID file or search for certificates to import. To open this dialog, open the User Security
Panel (File/Security/User Security), select the Your Identity//Your Smartcard tab, press the "Configuration Details"
button, then press the "Select Slot" button.

Once an ID file has been smartcard-enabled or a certificate has been imported, the correct token will be found and
used as long as the token is connected to any of the slots presented by the PKCS#11 library.

This limitation still partially exists in the SECManipulateSC API function, which can only use the token in the first
occupied slot when smartcard-enabling an ID file.

Domino Server
SSL Session Resumption
SSL session resumption greatly improves performance when the Notes HTTP Client or server is using SSL, and may
have a minor (positive) effect on other "Internet" protocols as well.

The default number of resumable sessions that will be cached on the server is 50. To modify the number of sessions
cached, set the SSL_RESUMABLE_SESSIONS NOTES.INI variable to the desired number. Setting
SSL_RESUMABLE_SESSIONS=1 will disable SSL session resumption on the server.

Currently, the number of resumable sessions will not dynamically climb to match the server SSL load, and there is
currently no means of configuring sessions to time out and expire.

The default starting size of each cached session can be configured with the SSL_SESSION_SIZE NOTES.INI variable.
Increasing the size of this variable will result in a lower incidence of elements being reallocated on the fly in order to
hold large X.509 client certificates, but will also consume more memory.

Notes Client
Warning dialog box does not appear before certificate expires
No warning message appears in the Notes client for users when their Notes certificate is expiring. For example, if a
user's certificate is set to expire within a week, the user will get a warning about the certificate expiration in the User
Security Panel, but does not get a warning dialog box when they log in to the Notes client.

"No Trusted Root Certificate" error message
An error may occur when installing VeriSign certificates into a Notes/Domino keyring.

The only VeriSign certificates that are affected are ones issued by O=VeriSign Trust Network/OU=VeriSign
Inc/OU=VeriSign International Server CA - Class 3. Before installing these certificates, you must open the certificate
labeled "VeriSign Intermediate CA" and click the button "Trust This Certificate". Enter your password when prompted
then proceed with "Install Certificate Into Key Ring" as usual.

"The requested item does not exist" error
You may see this error on your server console after using the CA process to add an Alternate Name to a user:

"Error processing certificate request: The requested item does not exist."

This error only occurs if you try to recertify or register a user immediately after you add an Alternate Name to your CA
Process-enabled certifier, and before the certifier has automatically refreshed its context.

Workaround
� At the server console, type

tell adminp process all

then

tell ca refresh

� If your CA Process-enabled Notes certifier has been locked with a user ID, you will need to unlock it using the
following command:

te ca unlock <X:\user.id> <password>

Be sure to type the full path and file name of the ID file used to lock your CA and the ID's password when using
the unlock command. Type the following to verify that it is active again:

te ca status

� Next, open the Administration Requests database and go to the Certification Authority Requests/Certificate
Requests view. Locate and open the rejected request. The request will have been rejected with the following
rejection reason:

5935: unknown

� Click Edit Request -> Approve Request. The certificate should be successfully issued.

Adding Domino 6 server to 7.0 domain replaces events4.nsf design
If you add a Domino 6 server to a Domino 7 domain, you need to ensure that the Domino 6 design of EVENTS4.NSF
does not replace the design of the Domino 7 version of EVENTS4.NSF. To ensure that the Domino 7 design is not
overwritten, delete EVENTS4.NTF from the Domino 6 server's data directory prior to launching the new Domino 6
server. During the launch of the Domino 6 server, the server console will indicate that the design is being updated but
it won't replace anything. The Domino 7 server replication will ensure that the design remains a Domino 7 design.
Deleting EVENTS4.NTF also ensures that the design task that runs at night will not replace or refresh the design.

If you do not delete EVENTS4.NTF from the Domino 6 server's data directory, the process described here occurs.
If you install a Domino 6 server and then register the new server using the Domino Administrator client on the Domino
7 hub server, during server setup of the Domino 6 server, several Domino 7 databases are replicated to the Domino 6
server including NAMES.NSF (Domino Directory), ADMIN4.NSF, and EVENTS4.NSF. When you launch the new Domino
6 server, the design task runs and begins replacing the design of the Domino 7 database EVENTS4.NSF with the
Domino 6 design of EVENTS4.NSF. The design of the Domino 7 versions of NAMES.NSF and ADMIN4.NSF are not
replaced.

The Domino 6 server then contains a Domino 6 version of EVENTS4.NSF, and a Domino 7 version of ADMIN4.NSF and
NAMES.NSF. If you create a server Connection document from the Domino 7 hub server to the Domino 6 server, the
database design of the Domino 7 version of EVENTS4.NSF is replaced with the Domino 6 version of EVENTS4.NSF on
the Domino 7 hub server. The Domino 6 design is then replicated throughout the domain.

Domino 7 features, such as DDM, that use the Domino 7 version of EVENTS4.NSF do not work on servers with a
Domino 6 version of EVENTS4.NSF.

Additional server setup fails if use different server org/ou
When setting up an additional server, the server setup fails if the additional server's "org/ou" name is different from the

Combinations of statistics/metrics can make Server.load quit
There is an issue with selecting certain combinations of server statistics in the Server.load Metrics list. If Server.load

Domino Java Console - Make LocalDomainAdmins group Multi-purpose
Set the LocalDomainAdmins group to a Multi-purpose group when using the Domino Java Console and connecting to
the Domino server. If you set the LocalDomainAdmins group to a group type other than Multi-purpose, this error
appears:
"<user name> is not an administrator for server <server name>."

Open the file ADMINDATA.XML file that is created in the Domino/data directory. No administrators are listed between
the XML tags <admins></admins>. Change the Group Type for the group LocalDomainAdmins as follows:

Changing the Group Type

1. From the Domino Administrator, click People & Groups.
2. Click Groups and select the group you are setting as Multi-purpose.
3. Click Edit Group.
4. On the Basics tab, choose Multi-purpose as the Group Type.
5. Click Save and Close.
6. Restart the Domino server and the Java controller.

Preventing non-KeyView filtering when using "conversion filters"
The variable FT_KV_DISABLE_BRUTE_FORCE=1 disables brute force filtering when a database has been designated to
use "conversion filters". This is helpful in order to prevent the indexing (and storage) of unrecognizable data and
file-types.
Using this variable can help improve indexing performance, and reduce the size of the on-disk index.

RMEval cannot restart when another runjava application is loaded
RMEval, like ISpy and ChangeMan, is a runjava server task. RMEval is automatically loaded if any DDM OS probes are
enabled for the current server. If this task is explicitly unloaded, it can not be successfully loaded again until all other
runjava tasks are also unloaded. It is then safe to reload any of the runjava tasks.
The workaround for this problem is to quit all runjava applications before restarting RMEval.
Follow these steps:
1. Enable OS probes.
2. Enable ISpy probes.
3. Start the Domino server.
4. Allow RMEval and ISpy to initialize.

Server - Domino Console
The Domino Console is a new feature for Domino, consisting of two modules: Domino Controller and Domino Console,
both Java-based applications. The Controller runs on the server end, while the Console can be run independently on
any machine. On UNIX, to run Domino Console that system must be running X windows. However, Domino Controller
can be started without running X windows.
Normally, starting the Domino Controller also starts the Domino Server and Domino Console on the same machine.
However, once started, an administrator can then exit the Domino Console without exiting the Domino Server and/or
Domino Controller. This allows administrators to reconnect with the Controller and Server by starting the Domino
Console either on the same machine, or remotely on any other machine.
For Domino 6 or later, please be aware that the Domino Console is installed with the Domino server, Administrator
Client and Notes Client. However, if you want to run the Domino Console separately on any machine, please follow the
instructions under Console, below.
Note: Please be aware that you can not run Domino Controller [(n)server -jc -s ] and Domino server separately and
expect them to communicate to each other. So one must start the domino server under the control of the Domino
Controller.

Startup Instructions for Domino Controller and Domino Console:

Controller
� Starting with the current release of Domino 6, the server generates a file called "admindata.xml" in the data
directory. Please do not modify this file manually. To set or modify admin roles, you must change the server
document in the NAB.
� For the console to connect to any server, that server should be running with Domino Controller. To run server
under controller issue the following command.
On NT: Make sure no other server is running. Run the server as: nserver -jc. You will see a window. DO NOT
KILL OR CLOSE THIS WINDOW, but iconify it.
On UNIX: Make sure no other server is running. Change the directory to Data Directory. Run the server as:
<IDIR>/lotus/bin/server -jc.

<IDIR> in this document refers to the directory where the domino server is installed.
For example: /opt or /local.

169
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

When you start Domino as described above, the Controller gets started and it, in turn, starts Domino Console and
Domino Server. Since all three processes are running on the same machine, they will take up some system
resources. If your machine is slow or memory-starved, it is suggested that you run server in the following manner
(server means nserver on NT/W2K or server on UNIX):

server -jc -c Should not bring up the Console and should start Domino and the Controller. If the Domino server
needs a password, it will only bring up the server process. You must connect from another Console and enter a
password from there. If the server doesn't have a password, it will bring up all of the Domino processes.
NOTE: For the first time only after setup, connecting from a remote system using the Domino Console, you
will not be able to connect if the server is waiting for a password. You can connect to Controller locally by
using local server icon on the Console and enter password. However, If the server doesn't require a password,
you will be able to connect.

server -jc -s Should bring up the Console and the Controller but not start Domino

server -jc -c -s Should only bring up the Controller

Console
� To run Console only, please follow the instructions below:

On NT: run "jconsole.exe" from the command prompt. This executable is located where server or administrator is
installed.
On UNIX: run "jconsole" from the command prompt. This executable is located where server is installed.
<IDIR>/lotus/bin/jconsole

� In the current release, to run Domino Console separately on a machine where Domino is not installed, you need to
have the following files in a directory on the machine you want to run. Copy the following from the Domino
executable directory on a machine where Domino is installed, to a new directory on the desired machine.
- dconsole.jar
- jconsole.exe (on NT/W2K) or jconsole (on UNIX)
- jvm directory including all subdirectories
- Follow the steps under Console, On NT or On UNIX above, as appropriate.

Things you need to know:

� For any help on how to use Domino Console, refer to the on-line help menu option on the Domino Console menu.
� To Connect to any controller, the administrator needs to know his/her user name or any shortname and password
(internet password field) that is in the administrators person document in the NAB.
� In the NAB, in the server document, the internet host name field must have the proper host name.
� To be able to connect to the controller, administrators need to have their names put in the appropriate fields in
the server document in NAB under the Security tab. The fields are:
� Full Access Administrators can issue all Domino, Shell and Controller commands (including quit, exit,
enable/disable user).
� Full Remote Console Administrators can issue Controller commands (including quit, exit, enable/disable
user) and all Domino commands, but not Shell commands.
� View Only Administrators can issue View Only Domino commands and Controller commands (except quit,
exit, enable/disable user), but not Shell Commands.
� System Administrators can issue Controller commands (except quit, exit, enable/disable user) and Shell
commands, but not Domino commands.
� Restricted System Administrators can issue only those Shell commands listed in the restricted system
commands field and Controller commands (except quit, exit, enable/disable user).
� Restricted System Commands should contain a list commands that can be issued by the Restricted System
Administrator(s).
� The port 2050 or whatever port you are running the Domino Controller on, must be a publicly available port for
the Domino Console to be able to connect from a remote machine.

IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

� To connect to the controller for the first time, you must type in hostname of the controller/server to which you
want to connect in the server name field of the Open server dialog. Once you connect to the controller/server,
from the Domino Console use "File->refresh server list" menu option to get the list of available servers and server
groups from the connected server. When the administrator exits the console, the server and group list are
persisted in dconsole.ini file. Next time you start the Domino Console, there is no need to do refresh servers list
unless you want to get the latest changes.
� To run Domino Controller/Domino Console on a partitioned server environment, make sure the NOTES.INI file has
the TCPIP_TcpIpAddress line with the specified IP Address for the server.
� You can copy text from the console text area to the system clipboard by selecting the text using the left mouse
button, and clicking the right mouse button, or by using CRTL-C, or by using "Edit -> Copy" menu option to copy.
� Clicking the right mouse button on either available or connected server list view will display a pop up menu, where
you could connect, disconnect, and server information.
� For shell commands, it is recommended NOT to use Editors, Debuggers, or any other program which is
interactive and uses the same shell to run.
� If you don't want to get the Controller status window displayed, please set the NOTES.INI parameter:
"ShowControllerStatusWindow=0". By default, the window will be displayed.
� On UNIX machines, please do NOT tee the output to a file. If you do, only controller messages will be written in to
that file.
� On UNIX servers, "File->Kill Server" followed by "File->Start Server" is not asking for password if the server has a
password because Kill server is not cleaning the message queues where password is remembered and used.
� The only way you can remove a domain or server from displaying on the Domino Console is by deleting the server
record(s) from the "dconsole.ini".
� Administrators who issue "tell ca" commands can use "View -> Show Secure Password" or click "secure password"
on the Popup menu by clicking the little arrow next to the Send button. The Password field allows user to enter
passwords encrypted.
� Controller command "#restart domino" is not working as specified in the documentation. It only brings down the
domino processes but does not restart domino. Please use menu commands "File->Kill Domino" followed by
"File->Start Domino" instead.
� If the console is stuck in Wait Cursor mode for any reason too long, use CTRL-SHIFT-B to come to normal cursor
mode.

Known Issues
� When you start the console, a blank screen will intermittently display where the console text is shown. Resizing
the main window will eliminate the painting problem.
� When the Look And Feel is changed, the cursor is lost from the command prompt area. If you click Send Button,
open any menu or some other action, focus comes back to normal.
� If you do any local logging, for each server you do, do once "Edit -> Local Logging" even if you don't change
anything before enabling by "File -> Local Logging". Otherwise, logging is written to default file "dconsole.log"
instead of what is shown in "Edit -> Local Logging" dialog. Also, If you change the file path for local logging file,
next time when you come into dialig "Edit->Local Logging" is defaulting to data directory.
� When Domino Console is connected to any Controller, controller immediately gives last 120 messages. If any of
those messages is prompt, Domino Console may display that prompt. Ignore and cancel that dialog unless that is
the last message you see on the console.
� If a prompt message is displayed while you are in a dialog, the only way you can close the prompt is by clicking
on the window closing icon of the prompt. Focus is getting confused between two modal windows.

Internationalization Issues
� On Linux, Domino Console that is started by the Controller has a problem when using Hebrew characters; the
console freezes after it writes Hebrew characters. Instead of Controller starting the Console, start the Console
separately and attach to the Controller. That is, start Controller as "server -jc -c" and Console as "jconsole" and
attach to the Controller. Or, start Controller "server -jc", and as soon as you give the Domino password, exit just
the Console only. Then start Console separately and attach.
� How to enter Indic language characters in Domino Console - On AIX, Linux, and NT/W2K machines, click on the
icon on the top left corner of the window/dialog. Selecting the "Select Input Method" menu option pops up a
menu from which you can select the Input Method Editor of choice.
� On Linux, expanding the Chinese character selection in Linux's IME results in recycling server commands being
displayed because of a Linux IME problem.
� On Linux, Korean characters are not displayed while typing in the Command Input field of Domino Console.
� Domino Console does not currently support Thai locale.
� Domino Console does not support inputting text in a different language than the language of the Operating
System it is running on.
� Domino Console does not switch input modes in Japanese IME using ALT+ ~ when a dialog box with text field is
invoked. If you tab out to another field and come back, everything works fine.
� Domino Console does not currently support GB18030.

Starting Controller as NT/W2K service:

You can also run the Server Controller as a Windows NT service. To run as an NT service, you need to add "-jc" to the
startup parameters. You can do in any one of the following 3 ways:
� To add the "-jc" from the command line to a stand-alone server installed as a service, use the SC tool (Sc.exe)
included in the resource kit. For example:

Sc config "Lotus Domino Server (LotusDominoData)" binPath= "=c:\lotus\domino\notes.ini -jc"

This is of the form: sc <server> [command] [service name] <option1> <option2> ...

For more information see Microsoft Knowledge Base article - Q251192 at

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q251192

� To add "-jc" at the end of the ImagePath value in regedit by looking for Domino service entry:

MyComputer -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Services ->
LotusDominoServer(datadirectory)

� Specify in the "Startup Parameters" along with other parameters. For example:

"=c:\lotus\domino\notes.ini -jc"

Note: On NT path has to be given as c:\\lotus\\domino\\notes.ini because of NT bug.

Message logging by Domino Controller and Domino Console:

Starting with the current release of Domino, logging of the controller messages has changed as explained below:
Logging on Controller End
Controller logs messages from Domino which can be controlled by the user. By default, it saves the messages in
normal text format (i.e., plain messages) in Domino's data directory. However, the user can set a different
directory and different name by specifying the path for ControllerLogFileName as explained in the Controller
Specifics below. Every midnight, the controller starts another log file with the same path, but appending a
different datetime so that the logfile won't be too big. However, if the user changes the ControllerLogFileType on
the fly from the Console, then a new file also gets created, with that datetime. In essence, if a user changes
ControllerLogFileName and/or ControllerLogExpiration these are taken into consideration when Domino is
started, or at midnight when the new file is created, or when the user changes ControllerLogType.

172
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

Controller Specifics
Users can change these from the console, as below, by editing dcontroller.ini or by using the controller set
command from console (e.g., con set ControllerLogType=2).

There are three parameters that effect the logging on the controller end. These are set in "dcontroller.ini" file in
server's data directory:
ControllerLogType
ControllerLogExpiration
ControllerLogFileName

ControllerLogType
This can have 0, 1, 2, or 3 as its value.
0 -- means no logging. Do not log at all on the controller end. This is the same as not setting the
DEBUG_OUTFILE option.
1 -- means log in normal text messages. This is the default, and gives more information than the
DEBUG_OUTFILE setting. It is similar to the 'pipe' command on UNIX.
2 -- means log the messages in meta format with all info (severity, color, procid etc.,) that comes from
server.
3 -- means log both types of files simultaneously.

ControllerLogExpiration
This will keep files for the number of days set, and purge the remaining. Default value is 7 days. That means,
on any day, you will have that many days-old files in the data directory, or whatever directory is set.

ControllerLogFileName
This will keep track of the pathname for the log file. When the user sets this, he should not give any
extension. Program appends .meta or .log to the file name, and appends the datetime to the given name.
Default name given is "dcntrlr". Default directory is domino data directory. Default log file are as follows:
dcntrlr06170900.log or dcntrlr06170900.meta based on the ControllerLogType.

If the user sets ControllerLogFileName=d:\logs\mylog, the files will be as follows in d:\mylog directory:
mylog06170900.log or mylog06170900.meta

However, if the user sets ControllerLogFileName=d:\logs\mylog.log, the files will be as follows in d:\mylog
directory:
mylog.log06170900.log or mylog.log06170900.meta

Console General Information and Specifics (Local Logging)

You can log the messages that come from a particular controller/server on the local disk, when you connect from
a remote Java Console. You can even log for multiple servers at the same time. Users can, on the fly, stop and
start local logging. To enable or disable local logging, use the "Controller -> Local logging" checkbox.
When you enable local logging, a dialog box will pop up where the user can select the directory and file name,
data type (meta or normal text) and file type (sequential or circular; if the latter is selected, the user needs to give
the logfile size).
Each field has automatic tooltip text that tells what that field is. Here, the default directory is where the Java
console is started.

Note: Both controller logging and local logging are writing native bytes instead of UTF8. If you have multibyte
characters, they won't show correctly.

Server Health Monitoring - false 'Server not responding' status
Server Monitoring will sometimes report that a server is not responding or 'The remote server is not a TCP/IP host'
when the server is running and responsive. This is usually caused by connectivity issues and timing. If this occurs in
your domain, try increasing the monitoring time interval.
In Domino Administrator, go to the Server - Monitoring tab and set the view to 'By Timeline'. The column scale
indicates the current polling interval. Simply drag the marker to increase the interval. Another way to increase the
polling interval is to go to File - Preferences - Administration Preferences - Monitoring tab and change the value in the
'Poll servers every xx minutes' field.

� Disk Utilization
� Memory Utilization
� Network Utilization

As a result, the Current Reports and Historical Reports views in the Health Monitoring database will reflect "critically
poor performance" for the above components on any Linux servers in the domain.

Workaround
Simply disable monitoring for these components. This can be done by going to the Domino Administrator Client -
Configuration/Health Monitoring/Server Components view. Choose 'Edit Server Document' for any Linux servers listed
in the view, disable the above components, save & close the document. A pencil icon will display next to the
document to show that the automatic selections have been revised. Health reports for Linux servers will now reflect
true status because the above components are being ignored.

Server setup error: Special database object cannot be located
When setting up a 7.x Domino server, specifying a server as an "existing server", the step which uses
NSFDbCreateAndCopyReplica may report a problem with the special object missing.

Workaround
Do the following to the names.nsf file on the "existing" server:
� Run fixup
� Run copy mode compact (compact -c) This makes a new, temporary copy of the db, copies over all info, and
when complete deletes the existing database and renames the temporary db.
� Touch the ACL (add foo/bar with No Access, then remove this entry.) This rewrites the ACL object.
� Clear replication history. This clears the Replication History Cache object. After this, the next replication
with each other server may do a Full Search.

UNIX - Running background Server Controller may cause error
For the Domino Java Console, running the Server Controller in the background, on UNIX systems only, may cause the
Controller process not to run (in wait mode). There is currently no programmatic fix available.

Workaround
The workaround for this issue is to make sure that the user terminal where the server controller is running in the
background does not have the "tostop" bit terminal setting enabled. To check, issue the command "stty -a" in a
terminal, and see if the output has "tostop" or "-tostop". If "tostop" is there, disable this bit by issuing the command
"stty -tostop".

UNIX - "Could not lock System prefs" error in the Java console
This release note details an issue with Java errors within Domino on UNIX, of the following type:
"java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences checkLockFile0ErrorCode
WARNING: Could not lock System prefs. Unix error code 1101753807"

This error occurs because the JRE looks for security settings in /etc/.java and $HOME/.java by default.
However, Domino installs its own JRE within the Notes Executable directory (
/opt/lotus/notes/latest/PLAT/jvm), and installs System Preferences files there.

On some UNIX platforms if a JDK/JRE is installed locally for the Operating System, then this install may create a
/etc/.java directory which is owned/writeable by root. Since Domino does not run as root, it is unable to lock the
preferences file in this directory hierarchy, resulting in the above error message.

Additionally, the deinstallation of a JDK/JRE on a UNIX platform may leave behind this directory structure, but with
incomplete/missing files/hierarchy, causing the same or similar error. For example, it may leave behind
/etc/.java/.systemPrefs without containing the files .system.lock and .systemRootModFile.

Currently, there is no clear way to deal with this issue programmatically in Domino, due to the many ways Domino
accesses Java functionality. It is recommended that you either:
1. Remove /etc/.java and use local user preferences only, either in $HOME or just with what comes
packaged with Domino (preferred)
2. Recursively make /etc/.java globally readable/writeable/executable, but you will still be susceptible to
the incomplete/missing files/hierarchy issue described above.

Failure serializing strings with embedded nulls in Java
Strings to be serialized for inclusion in a SOAP response for a Java Web service should not contain embedded nulls.
Such a case will cause formation of the response to be terminated prematurely, resulting in a truncated (and thus
invalid) XML document being sent as the SOAP response.

Such a string could be created in Java by the literal "1\02\03" for example. Additionally, the Item.getValueString()
meth will yield such a string if the item text contains newlines.

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 containing xsd:date-based simpleTypes
When importing a WSDL document that defines a schema simpleType based on XSD "date", the generated
deserializer/serializer code is wrong, but may be corrected manually without triggering WSDL document regeneration.
This problem is specific to Java Web services, only.

For example, importing WSDL with the following simpleType (derived by restriction based on type "xsd:date"):

<xsd:simpleType name="simpleDate">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:date" />
</xsd:simpleType>

will generate the following methods in the resulting "SimpleDate" Java class:

// Simple Types must have a String constructor

public SimpleDate(java.lang.String value) {
try {
this.value = (java.text.DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance()).parse(value);
}
catch (java.text.ParseException e){
throw new java.lang.RuntimeException(e.toString());
}
}

// Simple Types must have a toString for serializing the value

public java.lang.String toString() {
return value == null ? null : value.toString();
}

However, neither of the above methods will produce the desired results at runtime.

A possible workaround is to recode each method as follows:

// Simple Types must have a String constructor

public SimpleDate(java.lang.String value) {
java.util.StringTokenizer tok = new java.util.StringTokenizer(value, "-/.");
java.lang.Integer year = new java.lang.Integer(tok.nextToken());
java.lang.Integer mon = new java.lang.Integer(tok.nextToken());
java.lang.Integer day = new java.lang.Integer(tok.nextToken());
java.util.Calendar cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance(); // defaults to local/e
cal.set(year.intValue(), mon.intValue()-1, day.intValue(), 0, 0, 0 );
this.value = cal.getTime();
}

Improperly serialized derived simple type in LotusScript
A derived simple type, defined in a WSDL document and imported into an RPC/Encoded LotusScript Web service, will
not be serialized properly when used as an output parameter.

For example, this type defined in a WSDL document

<xsd:simpleType name="MYTYPE">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:simpleType>

would yield this LotusScript code

Class MYTYPE
Public value As String
Sub NEW
End Sub
End Class

When used as an output parameter, the SOAP response would contain something like

<MYMETHReturn xsi:type="ns1:MYTYPE">
<value xsi:type="xsd:string">myvalue</value>
</MYMETHReturn>

which is not correct, and would not be interpreted correctly by a client.

The correct serialization would be

<MYMETHReturn xsi:type="ns1:MYTYPE">myvalue</MYMETHReturn>

177
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 3 - Known limitations, problems, and workarounds

If, however, the WSDL document were to be regenerated, the type associated with the above LotusScript code would
be

<complexType name="MYTYPE">
<sequence>
<element name="VALUE" type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>

which would function correctly.

This issue is not limited to string-based types.

Domino Server
Init all values to be returned by a LotusScript Web Service
If your LotusScript Web Service returns Faults with the message:
"Web service is unable to create LotusScript object" or "Web service is unable
to create LotusScript Array"
it is usually caused by uninitialized objects or arrays in the response object. A future release will recognize this, and
emit empty values. In the meantime, make sure that all return values are properly initialized and/or Redim-ed.

Domino Server
LotusScript Constructors called by Web Services sometimes fail
You may have a Web Service that appears to work most of the time, but occassionally fails with the following error:
"Web service is unable to create LotusScript object"
This can happen when a SOAP request passes object arguments whose CLASS definitions include a no-argument
constructor (i.e., NEW method). The LotusScript provider attempts to call these constructors when marshalling the
argument objects, and occassionally LotusScript yields during these operations.
The provider currently treats these yields as errors and returns a Fault where, instead, it should resume execution
until the constructor has successfully completed. A possible workaround is to explicitly init the objects with code that
runs in the Web Service, rather than relying on constructors.

Domino Server
LotusScript Doc/literal services fail
LotusScript services which have the "Doc/literal" "SOAP message format" selected on the Advanced tab of the Web
Service Infobox will fail when invoked. The SOAP response will contain a fault such as:

<soapenv:Fault>
<faultcode>soapenv:Server.generalException</faultcode>
<faultstring>No such operation &apos;&apos;</faultstring>
<detail/>
</soapenv:Fault>

Domino Designer
LotusScript Web services and fixed-size arrays
Although fixed-size arrays may appear in LotusScript classes as members of a class, they are not supported by the
LotusScript Web service runtime, and are known to cause instability in the Domino http server if passed to a
LotusScript Web service at runtime. Only dynamic arrays should be specified for array members of classes passed
to/from a LotusScript Web service.

Recompile LotusScript Web Services that include lsxsd.lss
If you used the lsxsd.lss include file in LotusScript Web Services written against earlier beta releases of Domino 7, you

Domino Server
User defined data in WS_Fault subclass are not serialized
For LotusScript, application-specific properties of a subclass are not serialized into the <details> element of a fault
returned in the SOAP response.
That is, in LotusScript, it is presently not possible to include additional service-specific data in a fault as described in
the documentation.

Domino Designer
Web services and Agents should have unique names
Web services and Agents should have unique names, otherwise it is possible that the agent would be invoked via the
?OpenWebService URL, instead of the intended Web service.

Domino Designer
Web services and SOAPENC arrays
The WSDL representation generated by Designer for arrays in a LotusScript Web service implementation are always of
the SOAP-encoded ("SOAPENC") form:

<complexType name="ArrayOfxxx">
<complexContent>
<restriction base="soapenc:Array">
<attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="[array element type]"/>
</restriction>
</complexContent>
</complexType>

SOAPENC arrays are not always accepted by 3rd-party tools, especially when the Web service is of some "literal" SOAP
message format (see the Web service advanced properties panel in Designer). Alternative array representations may
be achieved by exporting the WSDL document, applying revisions with a text editor, and then re-importing into a new
Web service design element. An alternative format to the above example might be:

<complexType name="xxxArray">
<sequence>
<element name="elem" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="[array element type]"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>

However, this alternative array representation is not yet completely supported by the LotusScript Web service runtime.
Another option is to elect the "rpc/encoded" SOAP message format (see the Web service advanced properties panel in
Designer).

The SOAP-encoded WSDL array format is also generated from a Java Web service, in most cases. However, the
alternative array representation shown above is also generated from Java for what are commonly known as "indexed"
properties in a Java Bean. The alternative array representation is also supported by the Java Web service runtime.

Changes in local database encryption depend on compact
Changes in local database encryption appears to require a compact to activate.

When encryption is first enabled, the compact seems to be automatically scheduled and requires no manual steps.
However, if the database is open, it is not immediately compacted and therefore not encrypted. You must close the
database and then reopen it to have database compaction happen automatically. The database is then encrypted.

To disable encryption, you must manually enable a database compact by in database properties, which disables
encryption.

Client - Client configuration (setup) changes in Notes 7
A new client configuration wizard, which runs after install for a first time setup, or the first time a user roams to a
machine, is available in Lotus Notes 7.
Differences from the pre-R5 configuration wizard include:
� The ordering of things is different, for instance if the id file is found on the server, it doesn't ask you to provide
one. Also if the server can be accessed via the LAN, you are not asked to set up a phone connection.
� The configuration process has been broken into modules with each piece being completed before the next one
starts. This improves error detection before the input stage is completed, allowing users to correct errors. It also
means that after you have connected to the server, and your local address book has been created, you can no
longer "cancel" the configuration, you can only "cancel" the yet-to-be-completed components.
� For roaming users, after connecting to the server and replicating the roaming databases, no further questions are
asked. These configurations are assumed to have been completed on the initial client configuration.

Using keys stored on Smartcards
Domino 6.0.2 introduced the ability to import pre-loaded X.509 certificates from smartcards or other cryptographic
tokens and use the corresponding private key on the token for cryptographic operations.

With Domino 7, it is now possible to perform this import without first smartcard-enabling the ID file. This allows users
to use keys that were pre-loaded onto read-only tokens and therefore cannot currently be used to lock the Notes ID
file. As long as the PKCS#11 library is correctly configured and a token is present in the reader, then the "Import
Internet Certificates from a Smartcard" menu option will be available off the User Security Dialog.

However, there are limitations to this mode of operation in the current release.

� Background processes, such as Just-In-Time encryption and server tasks, are currently unable to prompt for the
PIN, and so will only be able to use keys on the token if the ID file is locked with a smartcard, or if the token
supports a protected authentication path and will therefore be able to prompt for the PIN itself.
� If an ID file utilizing this feature is subsequently locked with a second smartcard, it may become impossible to
use any keys on the initial token on a single-slot system, since removing the smartcard that locks the ID file from
the reader to insert the initial token will log the user out of Notes.
� Some older versions of Notes/Domino will be unable to use the key stored on the token.
� In the current release, the SC_manip_ImportInetCert opcode for the SECManipulateSC C API function can
only be used to import certificates from the smartcard that is locking that ID file. This prevents
SECManipulateSC from being used to import certificates into ID files that are not smartcard-enabled.

For both organizational and explicit policies, you cannot inherit policy settings unless there is a parent policy from

To inherit policy settings in policies at the OU level, the policy setting in the parent policy must have a value. Some,
but not all, policy settings have default values. If you are unsure whether a policy setting value exists in a parent
policy, use the Policy Viewer.

Domino Administrator Client, Domino Server

Server - Setup and Desktop Policies
In Domino 7, the R5 Setup Profiles have been migrated to Setup and Desktop Policies. This release note describes
the changes from R5 Setup Profiles to the new Policies.

Migration
Organizations using Setup Profiles should consider migrating to policies. Although Setup Profiles will continue to be
supported in Domino 6, no new features will be incorporated. Administrators will no longer be able to specify a Setup
Profile at user registration time. A migration tool to convert Setup Profiles to Policies is not available at this time.

Co-existence of Setup Profiles and Policies

If a setup profile is specified in a person record, it has precedence over any setup or desktop policy which would apply
to this user.

Execution of Setup Policies

Setup policies are executed once per Client configuration, as part of the initial Client configuration. Changes made to
a setup policy will not affect existing clients to which this policy applies (this is the setup functionality which existed in
R4, with setup profiles). Initial settings which serve as a starting point for users should be included in setup policies.
The administrator is not concerned with keeping these settings up to date on the user's clients.

Execution of Desktop Policies

Desktop policies are applied to a user's Client configuration whenever a change to the policy occurs. Administrators
should include settings which must be kept up to date in desktop policies; for example, if a server phone number is
changed in a desktop policy, it is applied to all clients to which this policy applies. Desktop policies are applied in the
same manner that setup profiles were applied via dynamic Client configuration in R5.

New features of Setup and Desktop Policies

Settings can be pushed to NOTES.INI (W32) or Notes Preferences (Mac) files via Setup or Desktop policies. There is a
new tab in both of these policies called Preferences which contains a group of settings which can be applied to Clients,
based on the execution of the particular type of policy. The group of preferences which can be set is extensible in the
same manner as location settings in R4 and R5. See the Domino Administration Help guide for details.

New features of Desktop Polices

Desktop policies also include a section to apply welcome page customizations to users. The steps to add welcome
pages to a user's desktop are detailed in these release notes under "Welcome page deployment".

A set of any type of bookmarks in any configuration can be pushed to a user. Bookmarks can be added to the
bookmark bar, specific folders or subfolders (including the startup folder) or hierarchies of bookmarks can be added
to the user's desktop. An administrator configures the layout of bookmarks desired, then drags it into the grey outline
at the bottom of the database tab in the desktop policy. This hierarchy of bookmarks is merged with the user's copy.
The administrator can later make changes by moving or removing bookmarks from this outline and those changes will
also be reflected for the user.

"Do not allow private location docs" field in the Desktop Settings doc is new for Domino 7 and it means that if a
company used the obscure location action to make location documents private they will not be slammed by upgrading
to Domino 7. This field forces the admin to make a conscious decision to ignore that old flag. This flag(NoPrivateLocs)
is used by the NAMEDPIsFieldLocked routine to determine if the fields should be locked or not.

Adding actions to right mouse button menus for views
You can add actions to the menus that pop up when a Notes user clicks the right mouse button in a view. To include
an action in the right mouse button menu for a view, choose "Include in right mouse button menu" on the Action Info
tab of the properties box for the action.

When you add an action to the right mouse button menu, keep the following in mind:

� If you add a shared action to a right mouse button menu, the action appears on the right mouse button menu for
all views that use that action.
� If an action you add to the right mouse button menu is part of a submenu, the parent menu item also appears on
the menu.

Domino Designer
Agent and Web services profiling
Calls to Domino Objects in agents or Web services written in LotusScript or Java can be monitored and their elapsed
times reported.
To enable profiling in an agent or Web service, select the Security tab of the properties box and check "Profile this
agent" or "Profile this web service." Profiling occurs each time an enabled agent or Web service runs. Agent profiling
occurs on both the Notes client and Domino server.
To view the profiling results for the latest run, select the agent and choose Agent - View Profile Results, or select the
Web service and choose Design - View Profile Results.
The results are presented in a document based on the hidden form $BEProfile. The result document contains a
heading listing the name of the agent or Web service and the creation time. The Body item of the result document
contains a table with a row for each Domino Objects method called and 5 columns:
� Class -- The name of a Domino Objects class using normalized names such as Session, Database, and Document.
� Method -- The name of a Domino Objects method or property using normalized names such as CurrentDatabase,
AppendItemValue, and Save.
� Operation -- For properties, the type of operation: Get or Set.
� Calls -- The number of times the method or property was called.
� Time -- The amount of time the calls consumed in milliseconds. The symbol "<" means not enough time to
calculate.
The LotusScript NotesAgent class contains a new method GetPerformanceDocument which returns the profiling results
for the agent as a NotesDocument object. Use of this NotesDocument object is restricted to the second parameter of
EditDocument in NotesUIWorkspace, allowing the profiling results to be opened as a UI document. The
NotesDocument object returned by GetPerformanceDocument is considered read-only; results are undefined if you
write to this object. This method is in the LotusScript interface only.
The following code opens the profiling results for an agent as a UI document.
Sub Initialize
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim agent As NotesAgent
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim agentNames() As String
Dim i As Integer
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase

' Build list of agent names and have user select one
i = 0
Forall a In db.Agents
Redim Preserve agentNames(0 To i)

192
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 4 - Documentation updates

agentNames(i) = a.Name
i = i + 1
End Forall
title = ws.Prompt(PROMPT_OKCANCELLIST, "Agent name", _
"Select the agent to be viewed", agentNames(0), agentNames)
If Isempty(title) Then Exit Sub

' Get the selected agent then its performance document

Set agent = db.GetAgent(title)
Set doc = agent.GetPerformanceDocument
If doc Is Nothing Then
Messagebox "No profiling results",, title
Exit Sub
End If

' Open the performance document for viewing

Set uidoc = ws.EditDocument(False, doc)
End Sub
The above code will fail to find the $BEProfile form when it runs in the Notes client if no profile results were previously
viewed for any agent in the database. This is because the Notes cache does not contain the newly-created form and
cannot be refreshed. The user must close and reopen the database, and if this fails, close and reopen Notes.
Alternatively, you can first view profiling results for an agent in the database from the Designer UI.

Notes Client, Domino Designer

Autosave for Notes documents
Autosave is a Notes Client feature by which Notes documents are automatically saved to a local database at regularly
scheduled times determined by the user. If Notes crashes, or if the user loses power, the user can recover the work
that was done prior to the crash or power loss.

If the user enables the AutoSave feature, the most current version of the document is saved to an Autosave database
(...\data\autosave.nsf). The Autosave database is created automatically when the Notes client is first installed. The
user then recovers the documents from this database.

Note: Users can override the default location for autosave.nsf by setting the NOTES.INI variable auto_save_db to
the file location of their choice.

Note that the original Notes document is still stored in its database or Notes application; the version with the newest
changes that has not yet been saved is the one copied to the Autosave database.

Enabling AutoSave in forms

In order for a document to be autosaved, the form from which the document is created must be enabled for Autosave.

1. Open the form's Properties infobox

2. On the Information tab, under Options, select "Allow Autosave."

Note: Application developers should be sure to test the forms in their applications with Autosave to ensure that
Autosave works properly with the application.

Enabling AutoSave in the Notes client

You enable AutoSave in the Notes Client User Preferences.

Note: The form on which your document is based must be enabled for AutoSave by the application developer. If you
enable Autosave in the Client, the client status bar will indicate when a document is being autosaved. If Autosave is
not enabled for a particular form, speak with the application developer for that application about enabling Autosave.

1. Click File > Preferences > User Preferences.

2. On the Basics pane, under Startup Options, enable "AutoSave Every 15 Minutes."
Note: the default Autosave time is 15 minutes.
3. (Optional) Increase or decrease the autosave interval.
4. Click OK.

193
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 4 - Documentation updates

Recovering documents saved with the AutoSave feature

Users can recover autosaved documents immediately upon startup, or at a time of their choosing.

At startup after a crash or power loss, and after the user authenticates, the user is prompted to recover unsaved work:

If the user presses Yes , the Recover Unsaved Documents dialog box appears that lists the documents that can be
recovered.

Users have the following options:

� Recover - recover the selected document

� Recover All - recovers all documents without prompting for each one
� Remove - removes the selected document from the Autosave database
� Remove All - removes all documents from the local database

Alternatively, the user can select No and recover the autosaved documents later by selecting File - Autosave - Recover
Autosaved Documents. The Recover Unsaved Documents dialog box appears and users can recover or delete
documents as described above.

Once a document has been recovered from the AutoSave database, it is automatically removed from that database.
This helps keep the Autosave database from becoming too big.

194
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 4 - Documentation updates

Other Autosave options

(Note: These options only work if the form has been enabled for AutoSave.)
� Occasionally users may be in the middle of editing a document and need to save the document immediately.
They have the option of saving the current document to the AutoSave database by selecting File - AutoSave -
Autosave Now.
� Users have the option of keeping a copy of the working document in the Autosave database until they choose to
delete it by selecting File - AutoSave - Save a copy to the Autosave database.

Changes to accessibility for Web applications
There are some changes to the way alternate text (ALT text) is handled for accessibility in Web applications. The
following features are implemented for ALT text for pictures and image resources.

� If you do not add ALT text to a picture or image resource in a rich text field, the Web server no longer generates a
null ALT text attribute automatically.

Note The null ALT text attribute (Alternate Text ="") causes screen readers to skip the image when reading the
Web page. If there is no ALT text attribute at all, screen readers read the source URL for the image. You can add
the ALT text attribute by entering text in the Alternate Text field in the properties box for the picture or image
resource. To use the null ALT text attribute, enter "" in the Alternate Text field.

� The Web server now automatically generates ALT text for additional images on the Web pages the Web server
generates. The Web server automatically generates ALT text for the images associated with the following:
calendar view navigation, view column sorting, MIME attachment markers, and free time schedules.

Domino Designer
Design list usability improvements
The following changes have been made to Design lists to make them more compact and easier to use.

� The Comment column now appears on the same line as the other columns for each design element. This lets
Designer display the information for each design element on one line instead of two.

� To further compact the width of the Design list, some of the column titles are now icons instead of text. Among
the column titles that use icons are No Refresh, Notes, Web, and Mobile.

� The Inherits From column has been moved to the right of the No Refresh column.

� The Trigger column in the Agents Design list displays icons for triggers instead of text descriptions of triggers. In
addition, the column title for Private Agent is now an icon instead of text.

195
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 4 - Documentation updates

� Similar changes have been made to the Shared Actions Design list in order to conserve space and make the list
easier to use.

� The Comment column is now sortable.

Note Some icons include descriptions you can access. If you are unsure what an icon represents, hold the mouse
pointer over the icon. Designer displays the meaning of the icon. (The icons that are used as column titles do not
include these descriptions yet.)

Editing fields in a design element without opening the element
You can now edit the Name, Alias, and Comment fields of a design element directly in the Design list in the Work
pane. You no longer need to open the design element.

To edit the Name, Alias, or Comment field of a design element, do the following:

1. In the Design pane, click the type of design element that you want to edit. For example, click Forms.
2. In the Work pane, select the design element that you want to edit. For example, click the form you want to edit.
3. Click the field in that design element that you want to edit. For example, click the Name field.
4. Edit the field and then press ENTER.

Data type
String

Syntax
To get: uri$ = notesDXLExporter.SchemaLocation
To set: notesDXLExporter.SchemaLocation = uri$

Usage
This property applies when ValidationStyle is VALIDATIONSTYLE_SCHEMA.
Defaults to the location of an XSD file in the xmlschemas subdirectory of the ND program directory, for example:
http://www.lotus.com/dxl xmlschemas/domino_7_0.xsd

196
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 4 - Documentation updates

Example: SchemaLocation property

This agent generates DXL from the current database using a specified schema for validation.

Script Libraries for Web Services
Notes Domino Designer 7.0 supports the use of script libraries for web services.

The Port type class (sometimes called the implementation class) is specified in the Basics tab of the web services
properties box. This class may be defined in the web service "declarations" object, or it may be defined in an included
script library.

The following must be defined in the same location as the Port type class:
� all namespace constants
� all enumeration classes and their associated "List" object and constants

Class types that are used to define other classes may be inherited across script libraries. They must be included, but
need not be in a single library.

Shared columns
Shared columns allow the creation of a common column for insertion in multiple views in the same database,
eliminating the need to create the same column multiple times and creating a single point for propagating changes to
all views using the same column. A shared column has its own design element but once inserted into a view is part of
the view. A view containing a shared column is backwards compatible for access from Notes and the Web.
To create a new shared column, select Columns under Shared Code. Click New Shared Column or choose Create -
Design - Shared Column. You can also copy and paste an existing Shared Column design element.
To create a new shared column based on the design of an existing column in a view, open the view, select the column,
and choose Create - Copy As Shared Column. This action creates a new shared column and leaves the existing view
column as is.
The Shared Column design element has the same appearance and column properties as an unshared column in a
view.
In addition, the Shared Column design element has properties specific to shared columns. The Shared Column
properties box specifies the name of the shared column (required), an alias (optional), and a comment (optional).
To use a shared column in a view, open the view and choose Create - Insert Shared Column or Create - Append Shared
Column. Select the shared column from the displayed list. Check the Use Formula Only box if you want to override the
shared column display properties, such as font and column alignment, in the view. Leave the box unchecked to lock
the display properties. The column programmatic name can always be modified even if the Use Formula Only box is
not checked, but you should change this name only if it duplicates the programmatic name of another column in the
view. You cannot modify the column value (formula).
To see the names of the views using a shared column, select the shared column in Columns under Shared Code and
click Who is using this Shared Column.
To edit a shared column, double-click the Shared Column design element in Columns under Shared Code. You can
also edit a shared column by selecting it in a view and choosing Design - Edit Shared Column.
When an existing shared column is edited and saved, all views containing the column are updated. These views are
resaved with the current user ID. Where Use Formula Only is checked, only the formula is updated.
To delete a shared column, select the Shared Column design element. Press Delete or choose Edit - Delete. When a
shared column is deleted, the shared column is changed to an unshared column in all views containing the column.
Shared columns may be used in DB2 Query views.
Shared columns, like shared fields, are not multilingual elements.

Domino Web Access

Certificate information stored in Contact document
Certificate information for each contact is stored on the Certificates tab, and can include their Notes certified public
key, Notes flat name key, and their Internet certificate. You use certificates to encrypt messages that you send. For
example, when you send an encrypted message, you encrypt the message with the recipient's public key. If you want
to send someone encrypted mail, but you don't have that person's Notes public key, have them send you a message
that is signed using their Notes Private key. Then, when you receive the message, add the name to your Contacts.
When you add a sender to Contacts, the e-mail address and either the Notes Certificate or the Internet Certificate used
to sign the message is automatically included when the Contact document is created.

Domino Web Access

Filter mail using blacklists and whitelists
The following information was inadvertantly omitted from the Domino Web Access help.

To help filter out unwanted e-mail, the Domino server can be configured to use blacklists to specify hosts or domains
responsible for sending unwanted e-mail to you. When blacklist filters are enabled, any e-mail from a host on the
blacklist is tagged. Although you cannot see the tag, your Notes mail system recognizes it and you can create a mail
rule to act on messages that have a blacklist tag. For example, you may want to create a rule that sends all blacklist
tagged e-mails to a folder called SPAM:
WHEN Blacklist contains SpamCop THEN move to folder SPAM
In addition to blacklists, Domino also tags e-mails with whitelist tags. A whitelist is a list of exceptions to hosts or
domains on a blacklist. To take advantage of the Domino server's whitelist, you can set a mail rule to act on messages
that have a whitelist tag.
If blacklist and whitelist filters are enabled on the Domino server, your Domino Administrator can supply you with the
list of names on the lists. You can also find this information in the Domino Directory. To view the lists, open the
Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF) and expand Configurations. Open the server Configurations document - Router/SMTP
- Restrictions and controls - SMTP Inbound Controls. The lists display under the DNS Blacklist Filters and DNS
Whitelist Filters.

OVERVIEW
==========

This package contains C software to implement JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG (pronounced
"jay-peg") is a standardized compression method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is intended for
compressing "real-world" scenes; line drawings, cartoons and other non-realistic images are not its strong suit. JPEG
is lossy, meaning that the output image is not exactly identical to the input image. Hence you must not use JPEG if
you
have to have identical output bits. However, on typical photographic images, very good compression levels can be
obtained with no visible change, and remarkably high compression levels are possible if you can tolerate a low-quality
image. For more details, see the references, or just experiment with various compression settings.

This software implements JPEG baseline, extended-sequential, and progressive compression processes. Provision is
made for supporting all variants of these processes, although some uncommon parameter settings aren't
implemented yet. For legal reasons, we are not distributing code for the arithmetic-coding variants of JPEG; see
LEGAL ISSUES. We have made no provision for supporting the hierarchical or lossless processes defined in the
standard.

We provide a set of library routines for reading and writing JPEG image files, plus two sample applications "cjpeg" and
"djpeg", which use the library to perform conversion between JPEG and some other popular image file formats. The
library is intended to be reused in other applications.

In order to support file conversion and viewing software, we have included considerable functionality beyond the bare
JPEG coding/decoding capability; for example, the color quantization modules are not strictly part of JPEG decoding,
but they are essential for output to colormapped file formats or colormapped displays. These extra functions can be
compiled out of the library if not required for a particular application. We have also included "jpegtran", a utility for
lossless transcoding between different JPEG processes, and "rdjpgcom" and "wrjpgcom", two simple applications for
inserting and extracting textual comments in JFIF files.

The emphasis in designing this software has been on achieving portability and flexibility, while also making it fast
enough to be useful. In particular, the software is not intended to be read as a tutorial on JPEG. (See the
REFERENCES section for introductory material.) Rather, it is intended to be reliable, portable, industrial-strength
code. We do not claim to have achieved that goal in every aspect of the software, but we strive for it.

We welcome the use of this software as a component of commercial products. No royalty is required, but we do ask
for an acknowledgement in product documentation, as described under LEGAL ISSUES.

LEGAL ISSUES
=============

In plain English:

1. We don't promise that this software works. (But if you find any bugs, please let us know!)
2. You can use this software for whatever you want. You don't have to pay us.
3. You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in
your documentation that you've used the IJG code.

In legalese:

The authors make NO WARRANTY or representation, either express or implied, with respect to this software, its
quality, accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. This software is provided "AS IS", and you,
its user, assume the entire risk as to its quality and accuracy.

Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software (or portions thereof) for any purpose,
without fee, subject to these conditions:
(1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this README file must be included, with this
copyright and no-warranty notice unaltered; and any additions, deletions, or changes to the original files must be
clearly indicated in accompanying documentation.
(2) If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying documentation must state that "this software is
based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group".
(3) Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts full responsibility for any undesirable
consequences; the authors accept NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind.

These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code, not just to the unmodified library. If
you use our work, you ought to acknowledge us.

Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or company name in advertising or publicity relating
to this software or products derived from it. This software may be referred to only as "the Independent JPEG Group's
software".

We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as the basis of commercial products, provided that all
warranty or liability claims are assumed by the product vendor.

ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch, sole proprietor of its copyright holder,
Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead
by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation; principally, that you must include source code if you
redistribute it. (See the file ansi2knr.c for full details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of any
program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than the foregoing paragraphs do.

The configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation
but is freely distributable.

It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and
Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot legally be used without obtaining one or more licenses. For this reason,
support for arithmetic coding has been removed from the free JPEG software. (Since arithmetic coding provides only a
marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman mode, it is unlikely that very many implementations will support it.) So
far as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions on the remaining code.

WARNING: Unisys has begun to enforce their patent on LZW compression against GIF encoders and decoders. You
will need a license from Unisys to use the included rdgif.c or wrgif.c files in a commercial or shareware application. At
this time, Unisys is not enforcing their patent against freeware, so distribution of this package remains legal.
However, we intend to remove GIF support from the IJG package as soon as a suitable replacement format becomes
reasonably popular.

We are required to state that:

"The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of CompuServe Incorporated.
GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of CompuServe Incorporated."

REFERENCES
=============

We highly recommend reading one or more of these references before trying to understand the innards of the JPEG
software.

The best short technical introduction to the JPEG compression algorithm is

Wallace, Gregory K. "The JPEG Still Picture Compression Standard",

Communications of the ACM, April 1991 (vol. 34 no. 4), pp. 30-44.

(Adjacent articles in that issue discuss MPEG motion picture compression, applications of JPEG, and related topics.)
If you don't have the CACM issue handy, a PostScript file containing a revised version of Wallace's article is available
at ftp.uu.net, graphics/jpeg/wallace.ps.gz. The file (actually a preprint for an article that appeared in IEEE Trans.
Consumer Electronics) omits the sample images that appeared in CACM, but it includes corrections and some added
material. Note: the Wallace article is copyright ACM and IEEE, and it may not be used for commercial purposes.

207
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 5 - Notices and Trademarks

A somewhat less technical, more leisurely introduction to JPEG can be found in "The Data Compression Book" by Mark
Nelson, published by M&T Books (Redwood City, CA), 1991, ISBN 1-55851-216-0. This book provides good
explanations and example C code for a multitude of compression methods including JPEG. It is an excellent source if
you are comfortable reading C code but don't know much about data compression in general. The book's JPEG
sample code is far from industrial-strength, but when you are ready to look at a full implementation, you've got one
here...

The best full description of JPEG is the textbook "JPEG Still Image Data Compression Standard" by William B.
Pennebaker and Joan L. Mitchell, published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1993, ISBN 0-442-01272-1. Price US$59.95,
638 pp. The book includes the complete text of the ISO JPEG standards (DIS 10918-1 and draft DIS 10918-2). This
is by far the most complete exposition of JPEG in existence, and we highly recommend it.

The JPEG standard itself is not available electronically; you must order a paper copy through ISO. (Unless you feel a
need to own a certified official copy, we recommend buying the Pennebaker and Mitchell book instead; it's much
cheaper and includes a great deal of useful explanatory material.) In the US, copies of the standard may be ordered
from ANSI Sales at (212) 642-4900, or from Global Engineering Documents at (800) 854-7179. (ANSI doesn't take
credit card orders, but Global does.) It's not cheap: as of 1992, ANSI was charging $95 for Part 1 and $47 for Part 2,
plus 7% shipping/handling. The standard is divided into two parts, Part 1 being the actual specification, while Part 2
covers compliance testing methods. Part 1 is titled "Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone Still Images,
Part 1: Requirements and guidelines" and has document number ISO/IEC IS 10918-1. Part 2 is titled "Digital
Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone Still Images, Part 2: Compliance testing" and has document number
ISO/IEC IS 10918-2.

Extensions to the original JPEG standard are defined in Part 3, a new ISO document. Part 3 is undergoing ISO
balloting and is expected to be approved by the end of 1995. IJG currently does not support any Part 3 extensions.

The JPEG standard does not specify all details of an interchangeable file format. For the omitted details we follow the
"JFIF" conventions, revision 1.02. A copy of the JFIF spec is available from:

Literature Department
C-Cube Microsystems, Inc.
1778 McCarthy Blvd.
Milpitas, CA 95035
phone (408) 944-6300, fax (408) 944-6314

A PostScript version of this document is available at ftp.uu.net, file graphics/jpeg/jfif.ps.gz. It can also be obtained by
e-mail from the C-Cube mail server, [email protected]. Send the message "send jfif_ps from jpeg" to the server to
obtain the JFIF document; send the message "help" if you have trouble.

The TIFF 6.0 file format specification can be obtained by FTP from sgi.com (192.48.153.1), file
graphics/tiff/TIFF6.ps.Z; or you can order a printed copy from Aldus Corp. at (206) 628-6593. The JPEG
incorporation scheme found in the TIFF 6.0 spec of 3-June-92 has a number of serious problems. IJG does not
recommend use of the TIFF 6.0 design (TIFF Compression tag 6). Instead, we recommend the JPEG design proposed
by TIFF Technical Note #2 (Compression tag 7). Copies of this Note can be obtained from sgi.com or from
ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/. It is expected that the next revision of the TIFF spec will replace the 6.0 JPEG design with
the Note's design. Although IJG's own code does not support TIFF/JPEG, the free libtiff library uses our library to
implement TIFF/JPEG per the Note. libtiff is available
from sgi.com:/graphics/tiff/.

ARCHIVE LOCATIONS
====================

The "official" archive site for this software is ftp.uu.net (Internet address 192.48.96.9). The most recent released
version can always be found there in directory graphics/jpeg. This particular version will be archived as
graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6.tar.gz. If you are on the Internet, you can retrieve files from ftp.uu.net by standard
anonymous FTP. If you don't have FTP access, UUNET's archives are also available via UUCP; contact
[email protected] for information on retrieving files that way.

Numerous Internet sites maintain copies of the UUNET files; in particular, you can probably find a copy at any site
that archives comp.sources.misc submissions. However, only ftp.uu.net is guaranteed to have the latest official
version.

208
IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes Chapter 5 - Notices and Trademarks

You can also obtain this software in DOS-compatible "zip" archive format from the SimTel archives
(ftp.coast.net:/SimTel/msdos/graphics/), or on CompuServe in the GRAPHSUPPORT forum (GO GRAPHSUP), library
12 "JPEG Tools". Again, these versions may sometimes lag behind the ftp.uu.net release.

The JPEG FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) article is a useful source of general information about JPEG. It is
updated constantly and therefore is not included in this distribution. The FAQ is posted every two weeks to Usenet
newsgroups comp.graphics, news.answers, and other groups. You can always obtain the latest version from the
news.answers archive at rtfm.mit.edu. By FTP, fetch /pub/usenet/news.answers/jpeg-faq/part1 and .../part2. If you
don't have FTP, send e-mail to [email protected] with body

send usenet/news.answers/jpeg-faq/part1
send usenet/news.answers/jpeg-faq/part2

RELATED SOFTWARE
====================

Numerous viewing and image manipulation programs now support JPEG. (Quite a few of them use this library to do
so.) The JPEG FAQ described above lists some of the more popular free and shareware viewers, and tells where to
obtain them on Internet.

If you are on a UNIX machine, we highly recommend Jef Poskanzer's free PBMPLUS image software, which provides
many useful operations on PPM-format image files. In particular, it can convert PPM images to and from a wide
range of other formats. You can obtain this package by FTP from ftp.x.org (contrib/pbmplus*.tar.Z) or ftp.ee.lbl.gov
(pbmplus*.tar.Z). There is also a newer update of this package called NETPBM, available from wuarchive.wustl.edu
under directory /graphics/graphics/packages/NetPBM/. Unfortunately PBMPLUS/NETPBM is not nearly as portable
as the IJG software is; you are likely to have difficulty making it work on any non-Unix machine.

A different free JPEG implementation, written by the PVRG group at Stanford, is available from havefun.stanford.edu in
directory pub/jpeg. This program is designed for research and experimentation rather than production use; it is
slower, harder to use, and less portable than the IJG code, but it is easier to read and modify. Also, the PVRG code
supports lossless JPEG, which we do not.

FILE FORMAT WARS

===================

Some JPEG programs produce files that are not compatible with our library. The root of the problem is that the ISO
JPEG committee failed to specify a concrete file format. Some vendors "filled in the blanks" on their own, creating
proprietary formats that no one else could read. (For example, none of the early commercial JPEG implementations
for the Macintosh were able to exchange compressed files.)

The file format we have adopted is called JFIF (see REFERENCES). This format has been agreed to by a number of
major commercial JPEG vendors, and it has become the de facto standard. JFIF is a minimal or "low end"
representation.

We recommend the use of TIFF/JPEG (TIFF revision 6.0 as modified by TIFF Technical Note #2) for "high end"
applications that need to record a lot of additional data about an image. TIFF/JPEG is fairly new and not yet widely
supported, unfortunately.

The upcoming JPEG Part 3 standard defines a file format called SPIFF. SPIFF is interoperable with JFIF, in the sense
that most JFIF decoders should be able to read the most common variant of SPIFF. SPIFF has some technical
advantages over JFIF, but its major claim to fame is simply that it is an official standard rather than an informal one.
At this point it is unclear whether SPIFF will supersede JFIF or whether JFIF will remain the de-facto standard. IJG
intends to support SPIFF once the standard is frozen, but we have not decided whether it should become our default
output format or not. (In any case, our decoder will remain capable of reading JFIF indefinitely.)

Various proprietary file formats incorporating JPEG compression also exist. We have little or no sympathy for the
existence of these formats. Indeed, one of the original reasons for developing this free software was to help
force convergence on common, open format standards for JPEG files. Don't use a proprietary file format!

TO DO
======

In future versions, we are considering supporting some of the upcoming JPEG Part 3 extensions --- principally,
variable quantization and the SPIFF file format.

Tuning the software for better behavior at low quality/high compression settings is also of interest. The current
method for scaling the quantization tables is known not to be very good at low Q values.

As always, speeding things up is high on our priority list.
