It’s only for messages. No calendar migration

Imapsync command is a tool allowing incremental and recursive imap transfers from one mailbox to another. If you don’t understand the previous sentence, it’s normal, it’s pedantic computer-oriented jargon.

All folders are transferred, recursively, meaning the whole folder hierarchy is taken, all messages in them, and all message flags (\Seen\Answered \Flagged etc.) are synced too.

Imapsync reduces the amount of data transferred by not transferring a given message if it already resides on the destination side. Messages that are on the destination side but not on the source side stay as they are.

Today i setup a Domino V12 server just for test some new features. A customer ask to use photos on Verse hosting photos on Domino.

Domino V12 comes with Verse 2.0. I just download the version 2.1 of Verse and follow the installation instructions.

After the setup i just put a URL of a PNG image on the person document, field photoURL  and add the entry VOP_GK_FEATURE_230=1 to the notes.ini of the server.

Works Great

When you create mail journaling you can encrypt all documents using the Administrator ID.  Last week a customer ask to add access for another user (developer). The Admin remove the database encryption but lots off documents remain encrypted . The solution was to remove the document encryption using the following steps:

To remove encryption from documents:

1. First, create a view named “Encrypted”. The view selection formula you use will vary depending on the type of database with which you are working.

• If working in a mail file, then use the following:
  • • SELECT (Encrypt = “1” |  EncryptionFlags = “2”)

  If you are working in a non-mail file and want to remove encryption from documents encrypted with a Private key, then use the following formula:

  • • SELECT @IsAvailable(SecretEncryptionKeys)

  If you are working in a non-mail file and documents may be encrypted using either a Public or Private key, then use the following:

  • • SELECT @All

  In the above scenario, if you want to remove encryption based on the Form or other field value, then remove the @All. For example: Select Form = “Report”.

  In other scenarios, use an ampersand (&) to add additional criteria to the selection formula. For example: Select Form=”Report” & @IsAvailable(SecretEncryptionKeys)

• 2. Create an agent with the following code. Set it to run manually from Actions menu on all documents in the database.

Dim s As New notessession
Dim db As notesdatabase
Dim view As notesview
Dim doc As notesdocument
Dim nextdoc As notesdocument

Set db = s.currentdatabase
Set view = db.getview(“Encrypted”)
Set doc = view.getfirstdocument

While Not doc Is Nothing

• Set nextdoc = view.getnextdocument(doc)
'The below loop is mandatory to ensure that all $File entries are unecrypted
Forall i In doc.items
  • If i.isencrypted Then
    • i.isencrypted=False

    End If

  End Forall
'Must have at least 1 field encrypted in order to call Encrypt method
Dim temp As New NotesItem(doc,"tempjunk","temp")
temp.IsEncrypted=True
Call doc.encrypt
Call doc.save(True, False)
'This portion can now remove the fields relative to encrypting the
'single token encrypted field.
Call doc.removeitem("$Seal")
Call doc.removeitem("$SealData")
Call doc.removeitem("SecretEncryptionKeys")
Call doc.removeitem("Encrypt")
Call doc.removeItem("tempjunk")
Call doc.save(True, False)
Set doc = nextdoc

I’m working on projects that involve many technologies and frameworks.

Particularly in one of our projects the IceGuard many things have been used such as Flutter for mobile application, Node-Red for  integrations,  IBM Cloud and IBM Watson IoT services.

We have reached a point where an asset management application such as sensors and gateways is required.

The application has the requirements:

1 – Run OffLine and Web

2 – Data replication

3 – Authentication and  Data security

4 – Integration with other applications.

5 – Implement a simple flow of approval.

Another detail is that we needed it to be developed rapidly.

Much is said that the Lotus IBM HCL Notes & Domino is dead.

Not for my case. If I were to use another product (s)/technologies I would spend two working days at least to architect the entire application, choose the Framworks to do the job, not to mention  database modeling,  authentication service, etc., etc.

With the HCL Notes & Domino i create the application in just one day!

It is a simple application, but that solved a real problem of my project.

Notes & Domino do the job.
