• Now that I have a Macbook Air.....Quickr Connectors for Mac. Come on, this was on last years too.
• Lotus Protector for Mail Security - Your gonna make that applet (a) not an applet, and (b) faster right?
• Lotus Protector for Mail Security - ICAP for Domino servers
• Lotus Protector for Mail Security - SSO with Notes, like Sametime has.
• Lotus Mobile Connect - any reason the fixes on Fix Central are "protected" via entitlement checks?
• Wiki's/InfoCenters - the screen shots and versions in the docs are not always up to date (or even correct)
• Traveler - Spell check on Android
• Traveler - ActiveSync on Android (several reasons, not least the set up headaches, and the issue above)

Select slide out summary and watch the sexiness happen.

When new mail arrives you will see a slide out window at the bottom right of you screen:



Note that the pop up is tied to the "Check for new mail every x" interval and doesn't seem to be tied to the auto refresh inbox timing.

OK, so this wasn't entirely what I was hoping for as a replacement for Domino Utility Server. But it isn't aimed at the "normal" Utility customer, it is aimed at the Lotus Domino IBM ISV. This is a dual win. One for IBM and one for the ISV community. It significantly reduces the barrier to entry when selling a Domino based application (although I am still on the fence if it *is* actually cheaper than Utility Express) and it keeps the customer looking to the application provider. What do I mean by this? It keeps IBM renewal reps away from your deals. In fact there is no renewal. This is a fixed term contract (meaning 12 months) that has to be purchased (or sold) on an annual basis. While this may mean it's not as cost effective as Utility Express it is far, far simpler. PVU is dead (we hope), long live the fixed term license. Remember to quote your customer the extra $2,000 per year for maintenance though.

So why is this a win for IBM? It gets people like me off their back.....In reality it gets them a way to push XPages without actually "pushing" XPages. The hope here is that with a reasonably cheap server solution ISVs will be able to go after pretty much any customer, no matter that platform of choice. That's what built the Lotus footprint 20 years ago so the plan seems to be to replicate (sic!) this process.

So what is the win for the customer? Ease of licensing. IBM are hoping that ISVs will use ASL (see, I told you to go read Ed's blog) so package the server license with a product. The customer gets "one throat to choke" and a fixed priced for support and renewal from said ISV. That is not to say other Lotus customers won't buy this, and if it makes financial sense they should. The specific use case I see for this is there is no CPU or core limitation (except that XWork is not available on all Domino platforms....i and z). That means the PVU hell customers find themselves in when they throw hardware at a Domino performance issue will the $2,000 and not some astronomically stupid dollar amount.

It's not all good news though. In true "let's complicate the shit out of this" IBM fashion they have deemed to add a rule that you can have up to 4 "applications" each with no more then 4 NSF files. I don't think this is too much of a stopping point but they should have just said 16 NSFs and had done with it. Still if you are an ISV with an app with more then 4 NSF files you are shit out of luck (CRM, ISO 9000, etc is what I'm thinking here). I would have also liked to see IBM allow use of the standard Domino "apps" (Discussion, team room, blog, etc) to have unlimited use on the XWork server and not count against the "sweet sixteen".

Still, all in all not a bad offering if ISVs can be attracted to the platform and start selling "No SQL Format" (NSF....see how I did that?...that be marketing that be) applications to the masses. ]]> http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dxcomments/the-ibm-xwork-server-the-little-engine-that-should-or-here-endeth-the-pvu-nightmare.htm http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dx/the-ibm-xwork-server-the-little-engine-that-should-or-here-endeth-the-pvu-nightmare.htm?opendocument&comments Tue, 20 Sep 2011 12:46:10 -0400 http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dx/want-to-know-the-quickr-version-and-running-quickrd-8.5-or-higher.htm quickr Darren Duke http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dx/want-to-know-the-quickr-version-and-running-quickrd-8.5-or-higher.htm?opendocument&comments http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dx/want-to-know-the-quickr-version-and-running-quickrd-8.5-or-higher.htm


View the source, just as you would with 8.2, but this time search for "QPVersion". Voila. No need to restart HTTP to see it. Still it would be nice to have a "tell quickr version" from the Domino Console but this way works.

Oh, and this means the server above is 8.5.1 FP3. The number before the period is the currently installed FP. ]]> http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dxcomments/want-to-know-the-quickr-version-and-running-quickrd-8.5-or-higher.htm http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dx/want-to-know-the-quickr-version-and-running-quickrd-8.5-or-higher.htm?opendocument&comments Fri, 16 Sep 2011 17:08:18 -0400 http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dx/opps-i-forgot-to-post-my-domino-on-vmware-presentation-from-mwlug.-so-here-is-it......htm mwlug Darren Duke http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dx/opps-i-forgot-to-post-my-domino-on-vmware-presentation-from-mwlug.-so-here-is-it......htm?opendocument&comments http://blog.darrenduke.net/darren/ddbz.nsf/dx/opps-i-forgot-to-post-my-domino-on-vmware-presentation-from-mwlug.-so-here-is-it......htm

So how do you find the actual server download? Simply follow these steps to find the English version:
1.        Log in, locate and go to the link "Software download & media access".
2.        Hit "I agree"
3.        Locate and click on "Download finder"
4.        Click "IBM Lotus Domino Collaboration Express", then "Continue"
5.        Select "English", then "Continue"
6.        Expand "IBM Lotus Domino Messaging and Collaboration Express 8.5.2 for Multiplatform English eAssembly(CRC6DEN)"
7.        Both Notes and Domino 8.5.2 are in there.

It is truly a shame that posts like this are necessary. A company such as IBM that touts itself as a social business company obviously has no idea what the term means. They are literally murdering any goodwill a customer had towards them by forcing this arcane and confusing interface on them.
