How to analize Java Client

Mauricio Borges — Fri, 3 Jul 2009 01:43:00 PM -0400

Hello! interesting article!!!

How about "Java" Notes client R8.x release ?

1 - Should we analize both NSD file and logs files under \workspace\log\*.xml ?

2 - How I put in Debug mode ( in java version ) to collect more information ?

Appreciate any help!

Thanks,

Mauricio

Spoke too soon...

Hi Steve,

IE Developer Toolbar allows to edit the styles on the fly. So making some modifications and see what happens would be the best way for seeking the solution.

My hunch is on the skins with f_ prefix were not updated whil the skins with l_ prefix were.

Best regards,

It's fine in Lite mode, but in Full mode there is a vertical gap between the tabs (inbox, calendar, to do, etc.) in e-tabgroup-main-container and the widgets in e-switcher-container. The "e-" element names were discovered using IE Developer Toolbar. My 'em' settings are the same for both modes, so it's rather puzzling.

Regards,

Steve.

Got it. Thanks Akira

Feedback field verification broken - add link and search to next version

Ryan Benech — Wed, 1 Jul 2009 06:51:33 PM -0400

I was going to give some feedback, but the field validation on the browser page fails even though I've made entries in all required fields.

Error javascript dialog box:

The following field(s) require a value or is invalid:

"Using the plug-in was worthwhile investment of my time"

"The plug-in was easy to use and navigate"

"The clarity..."

"The content..."

So I'll use this venue to leave feedback:

- It would be nice to be able to link to topics in the learning plugin from email messages. This could be a URL from the "Browser" window that comes up or a "copy as link" action when right clicking on the topic from the sidebar.

- I wish I could SEARCH the topics...

e-userdata, e-toppanel, e-content-container, etc.

Hi Steve,

Using DOM inspector tools, like IE Developer Toolbar, Firebug, etc. will be the best way to determine what DOM elements (like e-toppanel) represent what UI portions.

As to the specific question (how to make the area of the logo bigger) - Try finding l_ShimmerSkin-h_ListFolder, l_ShimmerSkin_Gecko-h_ListFolder, l_ShimmerSkin_Safari-h_ListFolder, f_ShimmerSkin-h_ListFolder, f_ShimmerSkin_Gecko-h_ListFolder, and f_ShimmerSkin_Safari-h_ListFolder file resource design elements and edit them by changing:

- Change the height of e-toppanel

- Change the padding-top of e-leftpanel to be the same as e-toppanel's height

- Change the padding-top of e-content to be the same as e-toppanel's height

Best regards,

- Akira

e-userdata, e-toppanel, e-content-container, etc.

Steve Sherwood — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:42:41 PM -0400

Is there any documentation concerning what areas of the page/screen are represented by e-userdata, e-toppanel, e-content-container, etc? I have replaced the logo using your instructions above, but its dimensions (189 x 41 pixels) mean it overlays the Mail Inbox tab in iNotes. I cannot find which setting needs to be changed to increase the 'margin' between the browser address bar and the Inbox/Calendar/ Contacts tabs. Any suggestions please?

links are now pointing to 8.5.x version help

Link for "Customizing the style of the inbox folder"

Romel Jacinto — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:49:53 PM -0400

The link for "Customizing the style of the inbox folder" simply points to Domino 8 Administrator Help.

Can you please fix the link to point to the relevant content?

SiteMinder server configuration

Brian ODell — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 02:14:20 PM -0400

The SiteMinder hardware and software configuration is not included in this report. I'm particularly interested in the version of SiteMinder being run and the OS of the SiteMinder server. Can this information be added to this page?

Version 8.5

Eric Layman — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:00:50 PM -0400

Is this Configuration also valid for the Notes 8.5 Client on Citrix?

Does this work in 8.5?

Ash Gar — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 04:25:16 AM -0400

Is this effective in 8.5 or will it degrade performance?

Thanks.

8.5.1 and type-ahead

Vinod Seraphin — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:41:55 PM -0400

Check out the iNotes 8.5.1 public beta. It has a new improved, more efficient typeahead for both full mode and lite mode (and this will be in ultra-light mode as well before 8.5.1 ships).

Question??? is there Sound???

Are there any keyboard shortcuts in iNotes? I'm not able to find them.

windows2008上会稍微有些差别

cun1000000 S — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 05:50:06 AM -0400

在作为service启动的同时还去启动domino controller。在windows2003上以service启动时还能看到domino 控制台窗口，在2008上启动domino controller之后domino 控制台窗口就看不到了，只能以jconsole连接上才能查看控制台内容和进行操作。

Lotus iNotes: How to enable a custom Forms database

Eric Spencer — Fri, 5 Jun 2009 11:57:44 AM -0400

It seems like you are looking at an earlier revision of the article. That $FormsTemplateExtFile item does not appear in the latest version of the article. The item does not apply to 8.5 and earlier releases.

Compact switch typo

Dave Brown — Fri, 5 Jun 2009 11:01:06 AM -0400

...and the command "load compact -c -daos -on dbname" should read "load compact -c -daos on dbname" (there is no dash before "on")

Slight option numbering issue

Dave Brown — Fri, 5 Jun 2009 10:23:22 AM -0400

I think the auto-numbering list feature may have caused a problem with the "Enabling a Notes Database" section of your guide.

Did you mean for the current option 3 to be the second step for option 2 and option 4 to be the option 3 that you talk about later in the procedure?

i.e.

Enabling a Notes Database

1. Navigate...

2. Using...

Select...

3. From...

How is the $FormsTemplateExtFile used?

Steve Sherwood — Thu, 4 Jun 2009 09:43:29 PM -0400

Re. { Link } how is the $FormsTemplateExtFile value used? I don't understand what is meant by "This is a database that can be modified with touching the original Forms85.nsf".

Thanks.

Thank you Robert, those are both excellent suggestions. Feel free to edit the article and add them. The article is information that until recently was in Domino Administration Help; I moved it here to the wiki as part of an initiative to make best practices information available here for collaboration and improvement.

Have fun!

How to access the test infrastructe for aix on domino

Need to better explain Nagle & TCP delayed acknowledgments as it interacts with NRPC

Dan Jaffe — Mon, 25 May 2009 07:12:51 AM -0400

Please review how Nagle's algorithm works and why in some cases you may need to disable it based on the systems TCP/IP stack (both interacting systems - Client or Servers).

In some cases the nature of the network topology and/or the traffic running concurrently over it may require disabling Nagle. And, lastly the type of data being transfered between the Domino servers and Notes clients in some cases may benefit disabling Nagle.

Link: { Link }

In most cases I have found correcting the network design or correcting the TCP/IP stack was better than turning Nigle off.

As NRPC has many different traffic types {small ACK packets as well as small data block and full data block packets} at any given time between servers or between client systems. Nagle is useful {as long as the physical network is healthy or not overly latent in its design}

What confuses people is NRPC is a RPC dialog (ping-pong) between the two systems. So, from that stand point one would NOT want Nagle enabled based on the nature of the dialog type. But, NRPC is more than a straight RPC dialog (i.e. TelNet), it also transfers very large data blobs intermixed within the RPC dialog. So, Nagle then becomes useful as the TCP buffers (not the application networking buffers) are better used in the data transfer.

The real problem is 'TCP delayed acknowledgments' feature within some systems TCP/IP stack Vs using Nagle. Review your systems TCP/IP stacks age & settings if you can update or disable 'TCP delayed acknowledgments' instead and also address any network design or network hardware problems.

Again, this is not a cut and dry problem/fix so each Domino network as it relates to the physical network needs to be looked at.

D7 AIX Servers Should Use this Parameter

Scott TH Hopper — Thu, 21 May 2009 05:49:16 PM -0400

AIX in 7.x should set a value in the range 512-750 mb range. Most servers without an NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE_MB parameter will likely crash. As buffer pool resources will quickly use all 1515 Mb when the server has 4GB ram. Serving a modest amount of users can easily require enough SHM to reach the 2048 MB limit

Usage information

Scott TH Hopper — Thu, 21 May 2009 05:34:43 PM -0400

While the goal especially in D8 and above is to not use this parameter. When on non-AIX platforms, by decreasing shared memory, private memory can increase, as on other platforms the process contains the shared memory. So limiting shared memory increases allows for greater private process size. Sometimes this may be desirable. On AIX, it simply reduces how much shared memory can be used.

In general, Domino will tend to consume more Shared memory than private.
