IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8 Release Notes
4.
Make sure the xpram swap has higher priority than other disk swap.
5.
Note that these settings will disappear on a reboot. To keep them active, place these commands into
/etc/init.d/boot.local
64-bit native environments, such as SLES9 (64-bit), should be configured with more than 2 gigabytes of
real memory rather than dedicating the memory resource to XPRAM. In these environments, Linux swap
should still be configured, however routine swapping is not expected and using disk for the swap region is
acceptable.
Domino Server
CA key rollover not recommended in large organizations
In Domino 8, administrators can assign a new set of public and private keys to a Domino certificate
authority (CA), which are used to certify the keys of OUs, users and servers in that organization. The
process of assigning new keys is known as key roll over, and is documented in the Domino Administration
Help topic "Certificate authority key rollover."
The CA key rollover feature has not been tested in Domino customer deployments, so its use is currently
not recommended in these environments. Organizations that want to become familiar with the feature are
encouraged to use the feature to roll over the keys of a test CA, and then test users in their environment.
Domino for System i
Choose the format of HTTP log files
HTTP log files are written in EBCDIC format by default on the System i platform. You can change the
format of these files to ASCII by setting the following in the NOTES.INI file. The setting will take effect the
next time the server starts or when HTTP starts again (for example, "tell http quit" then "load http").
HTTPLogFormatAscii=1
If HTTPLogFormatAscii is not present in the NOTES.INI file or if the setting is HTTPLogFormatAscii=0,
then the HTTP log files will revert to their default EBCDIC format.
Domino Server
Domino and DB2 - database A<database name>
This release note explains the database "A<database name>", for example, ADOMINO, that is created in
Domino and DB2 configurations that include a remote DB2 server.
If the DB2 server is remote, the computer on which the Domino server is installed must have at least the
DB2 Run-Time Client installed on it.
Note It could also have ESE installed.
Example of a remote configuration
In this example there are two computers :
z
Computer A -- IBM AIX with the Domino server and the DB2 Run-Time Client installed.
ls05.notesdev.ibm.com
On computer A we are using a db2instance named: db2inst2
z
Computer B -- IBM AIX with the DB2 server ESE "the remote machine" installed on it.
p5viper.notesdev.ibm.com
On computer B we are using a db2instance named: db2inst5 (port 50003 )
