Yesterday IBM announced the IBM 2017 Champions for Collaboration Solutions.
I wasn’t nominated in the past year for ICS but was for Middleware.
I would also like to thank everyone who nominated me for IBM Champion for ICS 2017.
I am honored and happy to return as IBM Champion for ICS
The complete list of IBM Champions for ICS 2017 is here
Bots is a high topic these days and i revisited this kind of application last week.
I created a Translation Bot based on this article from IBM.
This Sametime Bot get the text, send to IBM Watson Translation Service and return the translated text to the user.
public void textReceived(ImEvent e) {
String q = e.getText();
//here we connect to watson and get the translation
LanguageTranslation service = new LanguageTranslation();
service.setUsernameAndPassword("<username>","<password>");
service.setEndPoint("https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/language-translator/api");
List<IdentifiedLanguage> identifiedLanguages = service.identify(e.getText()).execute();
String lang = identifiedLanguages.get(0).getLanguage();
String idiomaPt = "pt";
String idiomaEn = "en";
String idiomait = "it";
if (lang.equals(idiomaPt) | lang.equals(idiomait)) {
TranslationResult result = service.translate(e.getText(),Language.PORTUGUESE,Language.ENGLISH).execute();
e.getIm().sendText(true, result.getFirstTranslation()+".");
} else if (lang.equals(idiomaEn)) {
TranslationResult result = service.translate(e.getText(),Language.ENGLISH,Language.PORTUGUESE).execute();
e.getIm().sendText(true, result.getFirstTranslation()+".");
} else {
e.getIm().sendText(true,"Não consigo traduzir.");
}
System.err.println("Message received from " + e.getIm().getPartner().getName());
}
To run the bot i export the project as an executable JAR and run it on my linux server using the script bellow:
#!/bin/sh
SERVICE_NAME=STBot
PATH_TO_JAR=/etc/init.d/STBotV02.jar
PID_PATH_NAME=/etc/init.d/Stbot-pid
case $1 in
start)
echo "Starting $SERVICE_NAME ..."
if [ ! -f $PID_PATH_NAME ]; then
nohup java -jar $PATH_TO_JAR /tmp 2>> /dev/null >> /dev/null &
echo $! > $PID_PATH_NAME
echo "$SERVICE_NAME started ..."
else
echo "$SERVICE_NAME is already running ..."
fi
;;
stop)
if [ -f $PID_PATH_NAME ]; then
PID=$(cat $PID_PATH_NAME);
echo "$SERVICE_NAME stoping ..."
kill $PID;
echo "$SERVICE_NAME stopped ..."
rm $PID_PATH_NAME
else
echo "$SERVICE_NAME is not running ..."
fi
;;
restart)
if [ -f $PID_PATH_NAME ]; then
PID=$(cat $PID_PATH_NAME);
echo "$SERVICE_NAME stopping ...";
kill $PID;
echo "$SERVICE_NAME stopped ...";
rm $PID_PATH_NAME
echo "$SERVICE_NAME starting ..."
nohup java -jar $PATH_TO_JAR /tmp 2>> /dev/null >> /dev/null &
echo $! > $PID_PATH_NAME
echo "$SERVICE_NAME started ..."
else

The general procedure to create a new theme using webdav is:
1 – connect to http://<server>:<port>/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/themelist/
2 – Copy the original theme from IBM to your disk
3 – Modify some files and them upload the files to the file store.
My team and i used this general rule for several projects but recently this kind of procedure failed.
When we copy the files back to the file store we get a permission error at the folder metadata
I raise a PMR and the L3 support will change the documentation with the following:
“Hint: With some WebDAV clients it can happen that you get an error “You need permission to perform this action”.
In this case, you have to explicitly create the root folder of the new theme with the WebDAV client first.
The metadata folder and the metadata.properties file get created automatically with default content.
You can now open the newly created folder and copy the contents of your local folder into the remote folder thus replacing the
generated meta-data.”
Obs: Before i open the PMR i tried several webdav clients, including making a copy using finder on my mac. Every client get the same error.
Prepare the packages for installation
1 – Download the image CIQ7TEN from Passport Advantage this is the Debian install for IBM Notes 9.0.1 and also the FP7 from fix central
2 – Expand the downloaded file using tar -xvf command

Prepare Ubuntu to install IBM Notes 9.0.1 FP7
Install Synaptic. We need to install some packages
sudo apt-get install synaptic
Start Synaptic and go to Settings -> Repositories -> Other software
Add the following URI for the repository:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse
Close Synaptic. It will ask to reload the repositories and maybe you get the index reporitory error, you can ignore it.
run on terminal:
sudo apt-get update

Install IBM Notes 9.0.1
dpkg -i ibm-notes-9.0.1.i586.deb
dpkg -i ibm-sametime-9.0.1.i586.deb
For Brazilian Portuguese only:
dpkg -i ibm-notes-core-ptbr-9.0.1.i586.deb
After you install and configure the IBM Notes 9.0.1 close the client and install the FP7 using the command:
dpkg -i ibm_notes_fixpack-9.0.1.i586.deb
Many thanks to Felipe Paixão. He works hard to make this setup guide.
There will be time for questions and answers at the end of their presentation.
Since i update my mac to macOS sierra, my TimeMachine backups was not running well.
On El Capitain i don’t exprience any issues using WD My BookLive or a disk attached to my ASUS Router.
After the upgrade the WD disk is not recognized by TimeMachine, the “ASUS” disk had the same problem.
I google a lot and found a final solution to my problem with TimeMachine
Problem number 1 – WD My BookLive not found by TimeMachine
Steps to solve:
Create a sparse image – a virtual drive that Time Machine will see as a valid backup disk.
Copy the sparsebundle to your network drive, then mount it.
Tell Time Machine to use the mounted sparsebundle for backups.
Tell your Mac to mount the virtual drive at boot.
Detailed steps here: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/turn-nas-windows-share-time-machine-backup/
Problem number 2 – TimeMachine backups very very slow:
Steps do solve:
Part of the issue is that low priority input/output-operations (I/O) now seems to get throttled heavily.
You can check it via Terminal then entering at the bash prompt:
fs_usage backupd
and look for the THROTTLED entries. If you see them, the backup is throttled.
So if you have a ton of files, just the time it takes to do the I/O takes forever, even if the files are small (because it performs a bunch more I/O operations around xattrs etc. than it used to).
Go to a Terminal and enter:
sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0
My backup time before this command was 29 hours and drop to 4 hours (using an ethernet cable).
Obs: I upgrade the bios of ASUS Router and WD My BookLive to latest versions.
When an user write the wrong name or password the Login porlet show a message to the user.
My customer has a requirement to change the default message and add a link to the registration porltet inside of this message, because only registered users with all attributes (defined by the customer) can login on the portal.
Steps :
1 – Stop Websphere Portal
2 – Clear the wp_profile\temp and wp_profile\ws_temp
3 – Go to wp_profile\installedApps\<cellName>\PA_Login_Portlet_App.ear\login.war\WEB-INF\jsp
4 – Change the StatusMessageInclude.jspf adding what you want.
Restart Websphere Portal.
Obs: If you apply fixes or fixpacks maybe you need to change it again.

I upgrade from El Capitain and Notes 9.0.1 IF4 works fine for me. Yesterday IBM launch the FIX5 for Notes on MAC and will support macOS Sierra
Some information from the TN about the fix 5:
IBM Notes 9.0.1 64-bit running 9.0.1 Interim Fix 5 or above supports macOS Sierra and OS X 10.11. IBM clients can open Service Requests running this release.
Full certification of macOS Sierra will be completed by end of October 2016 or approximately 30 days after the general release of macOS Sierra.
IBM Client Application Access (ICAA) 1.0.0.1 Feature Pack 1 due out in November 2016 will support macOS Sierra.
