IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 Release Notes Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration

Additional installation steps for administrators

After you complete the installation of the IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 Server release, you will need to copy

the Sametime Connect 7.5 client installation files to the Sametime server. End users will be unable to

download and install the client files until you perform this task.

The client installation files are posted on the IBM download site. There are 3 files, one for each client

platform:

Windows:

sametime-connect-win-7.5.0.exe

Macintosh:

sametime-connect-mac-7.5.0.command

Linux: sametime-connect-lin-7.5.0-1.i386.rpm

Download all of these files from the download site, and place them in the

<datadir>\domino\html\sametime\sametimeclient directory on the Sametime server. The

default locations are shown below. There may already be files with these names in that directory -- these

are placeholder files that you must replace with the real ones.

For Windows

c:\program files\lotus\domino\data\domino\html\sametime\sametimeclient

For AIX/Solaris

/local/notesdata/domino/html/sametime/sametimeclient

For i5/OS

There is no default data directory but the name may be similar to this:

/STserver/domino/html/sametime/sametimeclient

After copying the file, run the following command from any i5/OS command line to change the owner

of all of the copied objects to QNOTES:

CHGOWN OBJ('server_data_directory/domino/html/sametime/sametimeclient/*')

NEWOWN(QNOTES)

To verify that you've copied the files correctly, go to the Sametime Center web page on your server, and

follow the download links to download the client files for all platforms.

Note: The Sametime Center download page does not include a download link for the Macintosh version of

the client installation file. End users will need to download the Macintosh version of the client installation

file using the following URL:

http://<hostname>/sametime/sametimeclient/sametime-connect-mac-7.5.0.command

where

is the host name of your Sametime 7.5 server.
