Today I had to integrate a little selfwritten Java class to LotusScript code.
I decided to use the new LS2J (‚LotusScript to Java‘) functionality.
I took a look at the designer help. There again. Don’t use the examples.
In every example the Java class is loaded by
Set myClass = mySession.GetClass(„Mortgage;“)
Don’t use the semicolon. It’ll will throw a ‚ClassNotFound‘ exception.
Last week I had a beer with a former colleague. He now works as a freelancer for a large company. His goal is to come up with a decision matrix wether to migrate applications to .NET or J2EE (WebSphere). He asked what I’m thinking of the Workplace.
„To be honest, I think it’s a replacement for Notes/Domino“ I answered.
He tought the same. „But they have a lot to do till then.“
He throws a few stones towards IBM and their Marketing. MS has a named exclusive key account manager for this project. IBM? Nope.
He swarmed for Visual Studio and the thight integration to .NET (Didn’t surprise me).
I mentioned about Open Standards and Java, but we came to the result that WebSphere is also proprietary because it had to differ to other application server systems.
This was only a little abstract of the talk that evening. I’m looking forward for the next „meeting“, Udo.
Today I joined two WebSphere sessions. The first one on Rational XSD Integration in WADS (WebSphere Application Development Studio). This was a real good presentation by Thomas S
This is from the chapter „I don’t know why, but it’s running now“.
After creating the DB2 database manually, deleting it again, run the Domino DB2 Enablement twice (first with errors, second time without!?), move a user to the SYSADM Group, now the Domino7 DB2 integration is up and running.
Next Step is to take another plain machine, try to reproduce and write down all the necessary steps.
I’ve installed all (Domino7, all Notes7 clients and DB2 V8.1.5 SES) on my old Thinkpad A20m with 256Mb memory and 10Gig harddrive. I would like to test it on a real performance machine (I have to talk to our Admin…).
By now it feels like going to a Formula One race with a donkey cart.
The first result while reviewing Notes/Domino 7

Today I had a problem updating a Lotus Notes 5 Client to 6.5.1
After the update the client started, showed a nice redbox and ‚NSD is running‘.
I did a backup of the local databases, uninstalled Lotus Notes removed the directory, cleared the registry and tried a new installation.
Again the client chrashed. I disabled the virusscanner and all unnecessary background programms. The client crashed again.
I did a closer look to that system. This w2k machine had a least 1500 Truetype fonts installed. After the fonts were moved to a backupfolder the client started properly.
IBM/Lotus has a little problem with footer/header since Release 6. First all lines in the footer/header were printed on each other.
Now (Release 6.5) all lines in the footer/header are printed with an extra line.
Lotus/IBM has confirmed this error and has assigned a SPR-Number (AMOR5U2RWA). So maybe Release 6.5.3 works correct.
The german Lotus Notes Client 6.5.1 crashes under XP by ‚Create New Replica…‘
IBM released a ’new‘ german Lotus Notes Client 6.5.1 (XP) on 30.03.04 which only differs in the release date. This bug is fixed by the ’new‘ release.
If you use a ND6 admin client to get a console on R5 server don’t type „tell router update config“. Somehow this is interpreted as „tell router use config“ and shared mail will be enabled on this server (config.nsf or mailobj.nsf will be created and Shared_Mail is set to 2). You’ll have some fun with mail attachments!
Stop the router task, unlink the object database, delete the object database, set Shared_Mail=0, restart the router task.
