A good document on how setup SSO between connections and other IBM products.

Here in Brazil we are known by first name. The Domino Directory only lists people using Last Name, First Name.

I know is not a good idea to change Domino Directory but users are very confused to work with Last Name , First Name.

So i change some views (column name) on the Domino Directory  and change the person name order  to First Name Last Name

For reference you can read the article Personal names around the world

People

DisplayPersonName := @Trim(@Implode(@Trim(@Subset(FirstName; 1) : MiddleInitial:@Subset(LastName; 1)); ”   “));
DisplayName := @If(DisplayPersonName = “”; @Subset(FullName; 1); @Trim(DisplayPersonName:@Name([Abbreviate];AltFullName)));
@Name([Abbreviate]; DisplayName)

DisplayPersonName := @Trim(@If(Type = “Person”; @Implode(@Trim(@Subset(FirstName; 1) : MiddleInitial : @Subset(LastName; 1)); ”  “); “”):AltFullName);

The past week has been very productive and exciting. I worked with two engineers from RedPill which are very famous in the community of ICS and IBM also Champions.
This week I was totally immersed in a process of modernization of Notes/Domino applications that really impressed everybody, as much as for the customer, which has one of the highest Notes/Domino installations in the world.
The numbers are impressive, both in number of users, servers and applications. In a week we have created  200+ Notes  applications that are now available for mobile devices.

Take a look on what RedPill can do for modernizing Notes/Domino applications

Thank you Nathan  Freeman and Peter Presnell for an amazing week working together.

How should I start tuning WebSphere portal Server for better performance ?

This tuning guide provides details about the parameters that you can tune to improve portal performance. This guide serves as a very good starting point to start portal tuning process before production usage.

Performance tuning guide for WebSphere portal on IBM i
This document discusses additional performance tuning recommendations that is specific to running WebSphere Portal on the IBM i platform. The focus is more on platform level recommendations unique to the IBM i and are minimally discussed in the above guide.

Monitoring Performance in a WebSphere Portal environment
To tune your WebSphere Portal environment for optimal performance, you need to know what needs tuning. The monitoring methods discussed in this article cover several key areas of WebSphere Portal. They help you to view the true behavior of your WebSphere Portal environment and ultimately identify bottlenecks and potential problems. This article is meant to be an overview of monitoring methods rather than an in-depth look at any specific methods.

IBM WebSphere Portal performance testing and analysis
Finding and fixing performance problems in a production environment is challenging on a number of levels. Optimally, most bottlenecks in the system should be found and fixed before the system is allowed into production. This article explains a tested process that can ensure that, with high probability, most of the significant performance issues are found and addressed before you promote a system to production.

IBM WebSphere portal performance considerations for custom portal code
This article provides general guidance for creating well performing custom code for IBM WebSphere Portal. Custom code does not only refer to portlets (although they are the most common programming model for portals), but also includes code for WebSphere Portal themes and skins.

Performance management tools for IBM WebSphere Portal
This article describes the tools and how they were used to evaluate an IBM WebSphere Portal 7.0 performance and/or problem determination issue during a recent engagement at a customer site.

WebSphere Portal Performance Troubleshooting Guide
This document is intended as a guide for resolving performance problems in IBM WebSphere Portal V5.1 or later.

How to set an appropriate number of Portal Datasource connections in WebSphere Portal
For a given maximum number of Portal WebContainer threads set, what should I set my maximum Portal datasource connections to? This is important parameter and may lead to portal hang if not tuned correctly.

WebSphere Portal Server and Dynacache Replication(DRS) issues
This technote discusses some common issues observed with a WebSphere Portal server cluster having performance, memory issues, and HAManager/DRS exceptions. The cache replication suggestions are also valid for portal version 7.0.x.x.

Transfer files between machines is easy using Filezilla Client.

But if you don´t have a graphical interface you need to know some commands.

You can use sftp or ftp

I am configuring a Centos 6.3 box  and need to setup a fixed IP.

Above the steps

## Configure eth0
#
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
 
DEVICE="eth0"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR¤:BA:DB:37:F1:04
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=static
NAME="System eth0"
UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03
IPADDR=192.168.1.44
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
 
 
## Configure Default Gateway
#
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network
 
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=centos6
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
 
 
## Restart Network Interface
#
 
/etc/init.d/network restart
 
## Configure DNS Server
#
# vi /etc/resolv.conf
 
nameserver 8.8.8.8      # Replace with your nameserver ip
nameserver 192.168.1.1  # Replace with your nameserver ip

There are three options:
OPTION 1:

About IBM Lotus Notes
— In Notes, select Help -> About IBM Lotus Notes
— Click the “Configuration Details” button and look for the following line

    java.runtime.version=pwi3260sr12ifx-20121108_01 (SR12)

OPTION 2:

Issue “java -version” command
— In Command Prompt, navigate to jvmbin
— Issue the command java -version
— The output should appear as follows:

java version “1.6.0”
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pwi3260sr12ifix-20121108_01(SR12+IV31417))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Windows 7 x86-32 jvmwi3260sr12-20121024_126067 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
J9VM – 20121024_126067
JIT  – r9_20120914_26057
GC   – 20120928_AA)
JCL  – 20121108_01

Note : If you do not issue “java -version” from within the jvmbin directory, the system JVM version will be returned instead of the Notes JVM version.

OPTION 3:

— In Notes select Tools ->  Show Java Debug Console

there you can enter commands in the upper part of the debug-window  

v   -> version

h -> help

Many internet protocols are ascii based and can be accessed through a simple telnet connection. You may want to use telnet to troubleshoot many of these products so that you can remove a lot of the complexity.

HTTP connections
1.        Connect to the target server using telnet, specify the port for the web service.
telnet serverName port
2.        Once connected to the server type the following replacing the serverName with the website’s internet address:
GET / HTTP/1.1
host: serverName
3.        Press the Enter key twice.
4.        The output of the command will be some headers and the html of the page.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
