Install the domino server java console

Fuente: http://pierrekoerber.wordpress.com

For me the java console is a lost gem for the notes administrators.

It is a good feature because it allows to administrate all your server from one single point. It will run the console separatly from your notes client, and this is good because the admin client sucks ! it give you more but that’s not the subject of this post.

This article allows you to configure your Windows server to make it run.

First you should modify the start of your server to make it load the domino controller and the java console.

Take “the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControllSet\Services” key and look for the Lotus Domino key.  In there you will find an entry called ImagePath.  The add to the service’s parameter the -c to load the domino controler and the -jc if you want to load the java console the machine.

After that your server should start as in this picture :

You could start the console from your notes client directory to have the same on you computer… nice isn’it.

Domino Server console missing in Windows Server 2008

Domino Server console missing in Windows Server 2008

April 4, 2011

Due to an architectural change in Windows Server 2008 the Domino Server console will no longer display when run as a Windows service . Any service running under Windows Server 2008, will run under session 0, and for security reasons, Microsoft has locked down the session 0 from all user interactions. If you would like to display the Domino console similarly to previous Windows Server versions you will need to configure the Domino Windows service to run in “Domino Server Controller” (Java Console) mode as seen below.

By Lance Zakin, PCLP, MCP

Senior Technical Consultant – Enterprise Architect / Software Engineer, IVE TechnologiesWhat are the benefits of running the Domino server in Java Console mode?

There are 2 advantages of running a Domino server in java console mode: (1) You can issue a remote console server command to multiple servers in a single click. For example, you can restart multiple servers, or broadcast a Notes prompt pop-up to all active users on multiple mail servers in a single click, and (2) You can issue remote console server commands to a server via SSL port 2050 rather than competing with traffic on Notes port 1352. You can access the server remotely using the “Domino Console” client rather than your “Domino Administrator” client if you desire to issue server console commands to multiple servers. However, you might need to contact your network team to open port 2050 if you are having connectivity issues.

Enable Domino Server as a Windows Service in Java Console mode

1. Delete Domino from running as Windows Service.

i.e.  Go to command prompt (Run as administrator), then issue command:  sc delete "Lotus Domino Server"

[or]

i.e.  Go to command prompt (Run as administrator), then issue command:  C:\Lotus\Domino\ntsvinst.exe -d -t"Lotus Domino Server"

2. Enable Domino running as Windows Service in “Domino Server Controller” (Java Console) mode.

i.e.  Go to a command prompt (Run as administrator), then issue command:  sc create "Lotus Domino Server Controller (java console)" binpath= "C:\Lotus\Domino\nservice.exe =C:\Lotus\Domino\notes.ini -jc -c" displayname= "Lotus Domino Server Controller (java console)"

3. Create a Windows Desktop shortcut (i.e. C:\Lotus\Domino\jconsole.exe) called “Domino Console” on the Domino server. Copy the desktop shortcut to folders “C:\Users\Public\Desktop” and “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup”. This will automatically launch the Domino Console client when logging into the Windows Server and display the Domino Console desktop shortcut.

Optional: Access the Domino Console client on a remote computer

1. Create a Windows Desktop shortcut called “Domino Console” on your remote computer. You can autheticate using your Domino User name and internet password.

i.e.  C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\jconsole.exe

Programmatically replace the design of Lotus Notes databases

Lotus Notes Domino lacks the out-of-the-box capabilities needed to perform certain functions, such as dynamically updating rich-text fields from the back-end without closing a document. This lack of functionality can send administrators on a quest for an easier solution.

A similar situation arises when trying to programmatically replace the design of a Lotus Notes database. IBM doesn’t provide a LotusScript method or C-API function to accomplish this task. In fact, the only way to replace a database design is by manually choosing File -> Database -> Design Replace for each specific database. However, this manual method doesn’t make much sense when replacing the design of several databases.

The following LotusScript code can be used to replace the design of multiple databases. The script actually deletes all design notes from the target database and copies them from the source database.

Using and understanding Reader Names fields in IBM Lotus Notes and Domino

Reader Names fields (also known as Reader and Author Access or Reader Names)
restrict access to documents in IBM Lotus Notes and Domino databases. This
security feature provides robust protection against unwanted intrusion and
provides designated users easy access to documents that they should see. In
other words, it’s an intelligent and granular method for granting data access.
This article provides a roadmap for implementing Reader Names fields and
provides plenty of tips to help you avoid problems down the road.

This article is intended for Notes/Domino application developers, although no
particular level of expertise is required to understand the concepts and
examples.
