Traveler causing replication/save conflict for invitations accepted in Notes client 
By Daniel Nashed | 2/20/19 1:55 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger
Traveler causing replication/save conflict for invitations accepted in Notes client. This issue can occur for normal invitations and also with *.ICS files that you add to your calendar.
We found out that this is a timing issue between the user interaction and the background processing of the Traveler server. There are two different scenarios.
This is What Happened at IBM Think 2019
By Hogne B. Pettersen | 2/19/19 6:17 AM | Community - Events / People | Added by John Oldenburger
This is what was presented by IBM and HCL at IBM Think in San Francisco last week. See videos, summaries and presentations here! Good old Lotusphere, which a few years back turned into the conference IBM Connect, was two years ago integrated into IBM’s huge technology conference called Think. After HCL’s purchase of the entire IBM Collaboration Solutions portfolio, this year’s conference for collaboration will be the very last one IBM does.

Domino, Proton, IAM, OAuth - Part 2: Domino Administration
By Oliver Busse | 2/18/19 6:05 AM | App Dev - Web | Added by John Oldenburger
This part of the series is all about Domino admin. The Proton docs refer to it here and there but you can prepare everything before you even start with the fancy stuff. I assume you have knowledge in general Domino administration and the use of the Admin client. In general: please refer to the official documentation for Domino administration.
How to Drag Attachments Directly from IBM Connections and into Webmail
By Hogne B. Pettersen | 2/18/19 2:46 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
If you have your files in a cloud solution like Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, IBM Connections or Google Drive, you can connect Windows Explorer directly to these services. By doing this, you get direct access to your files from your Explorer window, as if they were stored locally on your computer. You can even access them while offline.
Quick-Tip: Getting rid of "Access restriction: The constructor..." etc.
By Oliver Busse | 2/18/19 2:44 AM | App Dev - XPages | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
I just faced a problem just re-opening an old project in Domino Designer - here version 10. I remember that I used the same project on the same DDE a week ago without issues. What I got now was this in the "Problems" tab of DDE:
Think 2019 - The Collaboration Solutions Sessions

In this blog post an overview of the Collaboration Solutions Sessions of IBM Think 2019. This blog post will be expanded during the coming period as more session slides become publicly available.
Enable/Disable/Sign agents without opening DDE
By Ulrich Krause | 2/17/19 4:22 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger
A couple of days ago, Thomas Adrian posted a new idea on aha.io Allow Enable/Disable/Sign agents from Domino Administrator without opening DDE. This is a pretty cool idea, I think. Although there already is a great tool available from Ytria ( agentEZ ), handling of agents should be a part of the core features of Notes / Domino.
Domino, Proton, IAM, OAuth - Part 1: Preperations
By Oliver Busse | 2/17/19 1:53 AM | App Dev - Web | Added by John Oldenburger
This is the first part of a multi-part series. Current plans see at least 7 posts, so watch out for them during the upcoming week(s). Part 2 and 3 will touchdown on Monday and Wednesday. It is a quite complex process but in the end you should be able to follow all the steps in under 4 hours - maybe faster. The key part is to have a Domino 10.0.1 server up and running out of the box.
XPages to Java EE, Part 11: Mixing MVC and an API
By Jesse Gallagher | 2/16/19 1:10 PM | App Dev - XPages | Added by John Oldenburger
When we set up our MVC controller classes, we put the @Controller annotation at the class level, which tells the environment that the entire class is dedicated to running the UI. However, we don't necessarily always want to do that - JAX-RS is the way to build REST APIs, after all, and so we should also add JSON versions of our Person methods.
Think-Ing From Far Away Pt5 – The Big Wrap Up
By Gabriella Davis | 2/16/19 9:26 AM | Community - Events / People | Added by John Oldenburger
Our final podcast of Think-ing from far away is a wrap up of the week, announcements and thoughts in general. We were joined by Maria Nordin from ISW, Kris de Bisschop from Groupwave and Christoph Adler from Panagenda. All dosed up with coffee at 8am on the last day in San Francisco. Content from Think is already beginning to be posted.
Learn Domino Query Language
By Rainer Brandl | 2/16/19 6:34 AM | Community - Events / People | Added by John Oldenburger
One of the new features in Domino V10 is DQL which allows you to access Domino data using SQL. Darren Cacy presented this new feature with some examples and also the prereq's. So DQL is a great feature when you have to access Domino databases for displaying a small result set in any frontend via Node.JS. Get additional information about this new feature in the “Getting started-lab”.
IBM Think 2019 – Day 4 recap
By Rainer Brandl | 2/16/19 6:30 AM | Community - Events / People | Added by John Oldenburger
Today began - beside heavy rain - with tremendous announcements of HCL in person of Richard Jefts, Barry Rosen and Chris Davis in their session "The Beat goes on - and it goes to 11". A great and updated roadmap for Domino V10+ has been presented: A lot ( I’m sure there will be more ) of the new features coming soon and what we can expect in V11 have been presented.
XPages to Java EE, Part 10: Data Storage
By Jesse Gallagher | 2/15/19 1:00 PM | App Dev - XPages | Added by John Oldenburger
How you store your data in an application is a potentially-huge topic, which is one of the reasons I've pushed it off for a while. This is particularly the case because of the habits we learned over the years as Domino developers. One of the most grievous wounds Domino inflicted on us was an encouragement to always write directly to the data-storage implementation objects - forms and views for Notes client design or the lsxbe/lotus.domino classes for LotusScript and Java.
XPages Partial Refresh and Server-Wide Xsp Properties
By Paul Withers | 2/15/19 9:20 AM | App Dev - XPages | Added by John Oldenburger
A new IBM technote has been released for XPages Partial Refresh Throwing CLFAD* Errors. As suspected, the cause was tightening up validation and, instead of falling back to reloading the page, it throws an error. I remember in 8.5.1 a similar issue where passing an error object to some logging started throwing an error because of greater validation.
Proton, IAM, OAuth, LDAP - nothing so see here, yet
By Oliver Busse | 2/15/19 2:25 AM | App Dev - Web | Added by John Oldenburger
This is just a small update on my journey to Node with Domino, Proton, IAM and OAuth. It was a fight, but in the end I won. Thanks to the support of Heiko Voigt, who already startet a blog series that helped me out a lot today (esp. part 2) I was able to set all up. There were lots of caveats to overcome and changes I had to make.
Exited: Domino V11 and beyond
By Remco Angioni | 2/14/19 1:47 PM | Community - Events / People | Added by John Oldenburger
Great session with Andrew Manby and Richard Jefts. Like usual, their energy is overwhelming. What can we expect in V11 and beyond: Group 1 languages re-release, Group 1 support in Notes Basic and ICAA clients, XPages V10 regressions fixes available in Fix Packs, Domino App Dev Pack on Windows platform, Preview of browser-based “Verse on Mobile” app and Verse on Premises 1.0.7.
Notes, Domino, Java and Open Source
By Paul Withers | 2/14/19 9:32 AM | App Dev - Open Source | Added by John Oldenburger
As hopefully most developers are aware, at the beginning of the year Oracle changed the licensing terms for Java JREs (Java Runtime Environment), requiring a paid commercial license for any commercial use. For most Notes and Domino customers, that has meant no change. As long as I can remember, Notes (on Windows) and Domino have bundled their own JRE.
IBM Connections 6.0 – which functionality is provided by the Component Pack?
By Martti Garden | 2/14/19 9:07 AM | Infrastructure - Connections | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
had been asked, what exactly I will be missing, if I don’t have the Component Pack / Customizer Lite / Elasticsearch standalone installed, as these add additional functionalities, which in some parts integrate seamlessly and it is hard to tell which component it is based on. The reason behind this question is, that the Component Pack requires a different technology stack (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm) than the base Connections one, which is built on WebSphere, so some customers have not deployed that, yet.
The Component Pack right now basically has 3 major components it provides: Orient Me, Customizer as well as the Elasticsearch stack.
Think-Ing From Far Away Pt4 – It’s All Connections

Can HCL put Humpty Dumpty back together again
By Red Pill Now | 2/14/19 4:48 AM | Business - Social Business | Added by John Oldenburger
Back in 1989 Lotus Notes was released and for many years it occupied a unique position in the software market. One of my favorite quotes from this era is found in the video below (at the 55 second mark) when a report asks “Lotus Notes, what the hell is it?”. The response (I assume from a business partner) is “… I couldn’t tell you. I have no idea. I just sell it!”
IAM dabbeling - Post 2: setting up proton and testing
By Heiko Voigt | 2/14/19 4:07 AM | App Dev - Web | Added by John Oldenburger
This is the 2nd post in my "IAM dabbeling" sequence - as a preamble let me say upfront that I am not an administrator and no expert in the TLS/SSL arena. I am a (web) developer who wants to use OUATH2 in my Node.JS applications with Domino. That said, some experts out there might be finding easier/better ways to achieve this goal - I'm happy to learn.
IBM Think 2019 – Day 3 recap

Today was not sooo busy like yesterday but also had great informations prepared. For the first session I attended the "The Anatomy of a Privileged Account Hack" and I was impressed about the way this can be executed. Joseph Carson explained in a very easy way how an account hack runs.
XPages to Java EE, Part 9: IDE Features Grab Bag
By Jesse Gallagher | 2/13/19 11:58 AM | App Dev - XPages | Added by John Oldenburger
In today's post, I'm going to go over a handful of features that IDEs, particularly Eclipse, bring to the table to improve the development experience. Some of these aren't unique to EE development, but our use of Maven and standardized technology makes them better than their equivalents in XPages development.
IAM dabbeling ... first setup successfully done. Post 1 of many to come....

Wow, finally !
With some great help from HCL (thanks to the HCL Client Advocacy Program and Gordon Hegfield in person ! ) I was able to master the setup of the OAUTH2 provider for Domino !
So, how is my environment set up ?
