IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 Release Notes Documentation updates
Name change task: 'All servers'
The 'All servers' option on the Name change task page in the Administration tool does not work because
of the
procedure for replicating across all servers. If you create a name change task and select 'All servers,'
only the server you are logged on to contains the task--other servers do not. This is viewable in
stnamechange.nsf through the Notes client.
The correct procedure is to create the name change task on all the servers in the community.
Preparing to run a Name Change task
The following instruction for step number 2 should be replaced with the information in step 2R; step
number 4R replaces step number 4:
2. Automatic scheduling for name Change utility - optional. You can decide for each cluster which
server will be used as the server that runs Name Change utility. After choosing the server, you can
use the standard operating system scheduling mechanism to set up an automatic run for this utility.
2R: Create a name change task with the Administrator's Tool . Name change tasks are then logged in to
stnamechange.nsf.
3. NameConversion.csv and VPUserInfo.nsf should be located in the Domino - Data folder.
4. The csv file must be named NameConversion.csv.
4R. The csv file must include the file extension .csv, but may be given any name .
Running the Name Change Task
z
When running a Name Change task, the administrator must run it manually, and not automatically by
a scheduler as stated in the Administrator's Guide for Sametime 7.5.
Referenced text: You choose the servers of each Sametime cluster on which the Name Change
application runs. The application does not run by default. The administrator has to run it manually, or
automatically, by a scheduler in case you want to run it on a regular basis (i.e once a week on Sunday
night)
z
In the topic 'Changing names on distributed servers,' the name changes are done manually.
Referenced text: The administrator is responsible to choose the servers of each Sametime cluster on
which the Name Change application run. The application is not running by default. You can run it
manually, or automatically, by a scheduler in case you want to run it on a regular basis (such as once
a week on Sunday night) .
