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

Installing the Lotus Sametime 7.5 Software Development Kit

For Sametime 7.5, all of the Sametime toolkits are available in the Lotus Sametime 7.5 Software

Development Kit (SDK). The Sametime SDK includes the following toolkits:

Sametime Connect Toolkit *

Sametime Links Toolkit

Sametime Java Toolkit

Sametime Telephony Conferencing Service Provider Interface (TCSPI) Toolkit

Sametime Community Server Toolkit

Sametime Directory and Database Access Toolkit

Sametime Monitoring and Statistics Toolkit *

Online Meeting Toolkit *

* new for 7.5

The Sametime toolkits for 7.5 and beyond will only be available in the Sametime SDK, not individually.

You can download the Lotus Sametime 7.5 SDK, and previous Sametime toolkit releases, by using the

"Lotus Sametime 7.5 SDK" link on the Sametime server home page, or by going to the following IBM

developerWorks site:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/downloads/toolkits.html

The Sametime SDK is packaged in a .zip archive file. To install the SDK, simply extract the contents of

this file to any location on your local drive. After extracting the files, see the file readme.txt in the

st75sdk directory for important information about the SDK. To uninstall the SDK, simply delete the

st75sdk directory.

Note: The Sametime C++ Toolkit and COM Toolkit were not updated for the Sametime 7.5 release, and

are not included in the Sametime 7.5 SDK. The previous releases of these toolkits are still available on

the developerWorks site, and should work with the Sametime 7.5 release, but there are no plans to further

enhance these toolkits.

Upgrade notes

Conversion Services upgrade required for AIX, Solaris, i 5/OS

If you have been using Sametime Conversion Services with your current release of Sametime, there are

several changes for Sametime 7.5 that you need to be aware of. Significant impacts to the upgrade

process are highlighted below, but you should consult the Meeting Services section of the Lotus

Sametime 7.5 Administrator's Guide for detailed information (there is no separate Sametime Conversion

Services Setup Guide for Sametime 7.5; all of the installation and configuration information is now

included in the Administrator's Guide).

The requirements for the Windows system where you run the conversion services have changed.

Make sure the system you are planning to use satisfies the requirements for 7.5. (This system is

referred to as the Conversion Server.)

You must uninstall the version of Sametime Conversion Services you are currently using, and

then install the 7.5 version from the Sametime Components CD. The new version may be

installed as a standalone Windows service, but Sametime 7.5 also provides the option to

configure a Domino server on the Windows system and then install the conversion services as a

Domino servlet.
