IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8 Release Notes

Note: The value specified in the plugin

customization.ini file acts as a default value when no policy has

been set. If the Domino desktop policy specifies the user-initiated updates setting, the Domino policy

setting overrides the plugin

customization.ini setting.

Information about creating Eclipse features and plug-ins using the Eclipse Development Environment

(IDE) and importing them into Lotus Notes can be found in the Lotus Expeditor information center

(

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ledoc/v6r1/index.

me.html) and at the IBM developerWorks site (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/community).

For information about installing custom or third-party Eclipse features, see "Enabling and using third-party

feature installation and update" in the Domino 8 Administrator help supplied with this Beta release.

Related information about installing custom Eclipse features and plug-ins using the Notes installer is

available in the Domino 8 Administrator help in the "Customizing Notes installation of Eclipse features and

plug-ins" topic.

Information about using the Eclipse Update Manager is available in Lotus Notes help.

Signing Eclipse plug-ins

Once you have created and signed new Eclipse features and plug-ins, you can control the response to

untrusted content during feature install and update using either Domino or Eclipse settings. Domino

policies override Eclipse preferences set in the plugin

customization.ini file.

For information about Domino policy settings specific to signed plug-ins, see the Domino 8 Administrator

help topic "Creating a security policy settings document".

For information about signing custom and third party features and plug-ins, and controlling preferences

using the plugin

customization.ini file, see the Domino 8 Administrator help topic "Signing custom or

third-party Eclipse plug-ins for install and update".

Linux for System z configuration

A detailed reference for the planning, installation, and configuration of Domino on Linux for System z can

be found in the Redbook "IBM Lotus Domino 6.5 for Linux on zSeries Implementation " found here:

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247021.html

While written for an earlier Domino release, the planning considerations and task descriptions still apply to

this release.

Increasing the per-process filehandle limit

By default, the Linux kernel limits the number of file descriptors that any one process can open; the

default is 1024. This limit includes socket file descriptors that are opened during basic client/server

communications, therefore is too restrictive for the Domino process. Do not assume that having fewer

than 1024 databases (or files) in the Domino data directory is an indicator of the maximum number of

open file descriptors that Domino will require. In order to scale above "tens" of client connections, this

default must be overridden by the Linux administrator.
