There’s a great new feature that is included in Notes/Domino 8 that I don’t think is getting enough press. It’s a very useful feature that all Domino administrators and developers should be looking at to assist in your Notes8 rollouts. What is this wonderful new feature that will save you lots of time and heartache?
Domino as an Update Site!
Domino as an Update Site??? What is that? Why should I be looking at it? Why is it important to my Notes8 rollouts, you ask? Read on!
As we all know by now, the Notes 8 client is built on an Eclipse framework. One of the great things this provides us is the ability to do those wonderful side shelf and composite applications. You saw them at Lotusphere - and you saw all the cool little things you can put out there to help make end-users a little bit more productive. And, with the introduction of widgets in 8.01, we made it so that end-users can put their own productivity tools on their desktops without any administrative or development intervention. Pretty cool, huh?!
So let’s take this one step further. Side shelf and composite applications can provide a lot of value in an organization. I have customers who are creating applications to provide functions such as an employee yellow pages, a skills look-up application and even a way to hook into CRM applications. These are all great uses! Read the rest of this entry »

Lotus Notes 8 includes, at no extra charge, a suite of office productivity tools that enable users to create, edit, and collaborate on a wide variety of file types. IBM productivity tools support the OASIS Open Document Format (ODF), which is being embraced across businesses, organizations, and governments around the world. ODF is an international standard for saving and sharing editable documents, such as word-processing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
IBM productivity tools provide interoperability and flexibility by offering support for multiple file formats. You can read and save to Microsoft Office files and read from IBM Lotus SmartSuite® documents. Both can be saved to ODF format for sharing with ODF-compliant applications and solutions or exported to PDF format. ODF provides the ability to access, use, and maintain your documents over the long term without concern about end of life uncertainties or ongoing license fees. By using ODF-compatible tools, you are not locked into one particular vendor for your productivity tools and you have no need to license, deploy, manage, and integrate multiple solutions. This has the potential for lowering the total cost of managing documents within your organization.

Notes Domino administrators manage some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated enterprise e-mail deployments, with reliability that is (we believe) the gold standard for the category. When it comes to deploying, administering, and supporting an enterprise-wide messaging and scheduling system, with multiple client types and over complex topologies…. well, you’re just not going to beat Lotus Notes and Domino, and the people who make it run.
But over time there has developed a second, separate layer of infrastructure that need to be managed in support of Domino — in fact, for any e-mail system, not just Domino. For example, connections to the Internet introduce threats that need to be addressed, so the SMTP interface needs to present a locked-down posture, and filter unwanted content such as spam and viruses.

Lotus Notes customers who work with or in the U.S. Federal Government or Canadian Governement are increasingly required to use products which conform to the FIPS 140-2 standard. To address this need, Notes 8.0.1 will support a configuration to use a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module (IBM Crypto for C) and FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for Notes email and document encryption. In particular, this will include support for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm for Notes mail, document and ID file encryption. Support for AES may also be useful to address encryption requirements in other countries and organizations.It’s also worth noting that in Domino 8.0, customers can now configure SSL on the Domino server to use AES (either 128-bit or 256-bit).

You have already seen (and used) the Domino blog, but did you know about the RSS feed generator template that lets you make any Lotus Domino data accessible to RSS readers and aggregators? Introduced in 7.0.2, the template enables you to create databases that serve up RSS feeds created from data in Notes database views. The RSS feed generator is targeted at the installed base of Domino users, and is designed to extend the reach of Lotus Domino content through RSS 2.0 feeds. It provides centralized configuration for easy administration of your feeds.
Essentially, the template converts Notes view data to XML format for consumption by RSS readers and aggregators, by mapping XML tags to column, field or custom keyword. You use one Feed Definition document to RSS-enable one Lotus Notes view or folder. Within the document, you specify such attributes as: feed title, language and optional description.

A new feature that comes with the Domino 8.0.1 server is Lotus Traveler. Finally - we are providing a built-in mobile solution for devices other than the Blackberry!
Traveler provides basic wireless mobile replication for Lotus Domino email/PIM data and runs directly on the Domino server as a server task (or on a separate server that has access to the mail files)! This provides real-time replication of email (including attachments), calendar, contacts, personal journal and to-do access on mobile devices. It communicates on SSL with 128-bit encryption and (wait for it) even integrates with Domino administration and policies!
Also, using optional WECM (the product formerly known as Lotus Mobile Connect), you can optionally secure your mobile connection even more over a wide variety of networks.
Lotus Traveler supports Windows Mobile 5 and 6 (Professional and Smartphone) Read the rest of this entry »

The administration process (AdminP) task automates many of the administrative tasks required to manage a Lotus Domino environment. In Lotus Domino 8, many enhancements have been introduced to aimed at improving the efficiency of this process in order to reduce the system resource requirements and speed up the completion of tasks.
Post request into target server database
With prior versions of Lotus Domino, administration requests are placed into the Administration Requests database, (ADMIN4.NSF), on the Lotus Domino server on which they are created, and then replication is used to transfer the request to the server where it will be processed. In an environment with many servers, it may take several replication events before the request reaches the server that will process the request. Read the rest of this entry »

As our Domino development team rapidly approaches a key milestone, the availability of public beta for Domino 8 (due VERY soon), we are starting today to publish more details to help your planning. We hope you will want to download to code and participate as soon as we make the Domino 8 beta available. Today we’ll look at performance and efficiency improvements.
Domino 7 delivered improvements in performance with most of the focus around reducing CPU requirements by between 25-50%. In Domino 8, there are a number of further performance and other improvements that can potentially allow you servers run even more efficiently, without hardware upgrades. Here are some of the more visible and valuable improvements. We hope you will want to take Read the rest of this entry »

The new mail conversations views in Notes 8 can work with both Notes native email and Internet mail. The latter requires a Domino 8 mail server to process the mail. Here is the slightly geeky explanation:-
Domino 8 added support for ‘References’ and ‘In-Reply-To’ IETF RFC 2822 header fields in addition to the ‘Message-ID’ header. The sending email system would also have to support these header fields for conversation threads to remain intact.
For Domino 8, we did some limited testing with various popular internet email systems. (this is not intended as support statement). At the time, only some of these mail systems appear to support both new header fields and not all behaved consistently. Even Microsoft Outlook appeared to have different support levels for these headers when using different protocols - eg MAPI vs IMAP and POP. Google Gmail and Thunderbird IMAP did appear to support the headers in our tests.
So internet conversation threads will work depending on the other system you are collaborating with.
