For Domino 8.5 + there is a new notes.ini setting to create i/o optimized transaction logs for platforms with a block size different than the default 512 bytes.

The notes.ini variable is: Create_R85_Log=1. With notes.ini variables, also make sure you're using the Configuration Document to set these instead of directly in the notes.ini.

Just a quick note that we are planning some Connections server maintenance the morning of September 24 (tomorrow).

In the meantime, feel free to read over this. :)

In response to: Google-proof Domino Trivia!

Wondering if anyone else wants to give this a whirl? I had never noticed this until David pointed it out to me. Try your hand at his Domino Trivia! Beuller? Beuller?

I was working on an ODBC/DECS/DB2 integration and was Googling for an error. Turns out I got a big chuckle at this technote.

Question After upgrading your server to DB2 UDB Version 8.1 FixPak 10 (also known as Version 8.2 FixPak 3), you will encounter...

I think that's all you need to read. Does anything stand out to you?? So are DB2 8.1 FP10 and DB2 8.2 FP3 the same release?? That's hilarious! And I thought there was confusion sometimes with Domino... ;)

After the release of Notes and Domino 8.5 Fixpack 1, there has been some concern expressed over customers and partners not being able to see the fixes at the devWorks fixlist site. If you go there currently, you can see the following releases listed:



Notice that there are not any SPR's listed as fixed for 8.0.2 FP1, 8.0.2 FP2, 8.0.2 IFR1, 8.5 FP1, or 8.5 IFR1. But there is a way to see what you need for your upgrade planning. You need to navigate to a somewhat hidden "notices" view at this URL: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/r5fixlist.nsf/Notices?OpenView (and also via the Notes Client here). From here you can see this listing:



Clicking through, you can get the SPR's fixed in 8.5 FP1 here. Actually, this information was relayed to us via a devWorks article that was updated in January. This release notice document for 8.5 FP1 is very helpful to me. I tend to prefer this better than navigating through an old view design and having multiple click-throughs to get to what I need to see. This release notice details all of the SPR's fixed in FP1 and many of them have links to a technote detailing the issue. All in one place! I do hope that the fixes are loaded into the main view so that searching for fixes is a little more managable, but I really like this method.
