IBM sent me a mail today, their logs show that i downloaded CR3 and they want to tell me, that i need one fix more, when i use Notes 9 Social Edition. I was really surprised and impressed. Here the download link for LO74465 .

You find the default system requirements in the overview document: “http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27007909[Index of system requirements for Notes, Domino, Domino Administrator, Domino Designer & Notes Traveler]“ I’ve some interesting points. IBM Domino for Windows is available as 32 and 64 bit software, but it is only supported on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012, so no 32 Bit Windows is supported! So a lot of us will have to upgrade the OS first. System Requirements Notes 9.0 System Requirements Domino Administrator & Domino Designer 9.0 System Requirements Domino 9.0 System Requirements Notes Traveler 9.0 We got a Linux 64 Bit server the first time in a gold release.

You can download the Plugins in greenhouse catalog . Connections Plugins 4.0 are not compatible with IBM Notes 9 Gold. It worked with the beta editions, but not with stable. Direct Link More Infos at Luis Benitez Blog .

I had a problem last week with some customizations via custom.css in IBM Connections 3.0.1.1 CR3. Communities still use the default Layout and colors. I found that defaultTheme.css rewrites some of my custom.css statements. I had to add the content of custom.css to the end of the xxxTheme.css (lazy but it works), that i have a consistent color and layout change. Tests with @import are not working, because @import must be the first statement of a css file and i need to add the custom.css to the end of the xxxTheme.css.

IBM announced CR3 for IBM Connections 4.0, that’s about 800 MB new updates. Don’t forget to update your homepage database, when you didn’t install CR2 already. more: http://www.ruddigkeit.net/ [ruddigkeit.net | .. collaboration and more ::..]. Update: CR3 needs database updates for metrics database and cognos application! Please read this technote .

I’m really impressed of the WAS 8 installation. Install Manager can handle multiple repositories, so you can install the core package and updates in one step. That’s lots faster than installing WAS 7, Update Installer and the fixes. Yes i know Ubuntu is unsupported for WebSphere Application Server, but i like the simple install and update process. So i use it on about 80 % of my linux testsystems and i have no problems when installing IBM Domino, WebSphere, DB2 or Connections. Additional software for Ubuntu I added the following packages to Ubuntu and use x-forward for installing IM and WAS.
