Verse on Premises 1.0.3 – Credstore nsf is needed for calendar

This happened to me and to a customer. When moving our server to a different machine I forgot to move the credstore.nsf database; while my customer simply did not create it.

In both cases VoP was showing the email correctly but the calendar was empty; as soon as we fixed the issues, moving and creating the db, the calendar started working perfectly.

I have no idea of the relationship between the credential store database and the Verse calendar, but the fact is that without the db the calendar will not work.

How to tell IBM Docs version and iFixes installed

If you want to know which version of IBM Docs and which version of iFix is installed here is a way to do it.

Open SystemOut.log in the IBMDocsMember1 server and look for this line:
IBMDocs biuld info:{“ifix_version”:25,”build_version”:”2.0.0.3″,”build_description”:”IBM Connections Docs 2.0.0″,”product_name”:”IBM Connections Docs”,”build_timestamp”:”20171030-1520″}.
Take note of the ifix version number, in this case 25.

Here is a table that list all the CR and iFix versions

Docs 2.0 iFix 0033
Docs 2.0 iFix 0044
Docs 2.0 iFix 0055
Docs 2.0 CR16
Docs 2.0 CR1 iFix 0017
Docs 2.0 CR1 iFix 0028
Docs 2.0 CR1 iFix 0039
Docs 2.0 CR215

Verse on Premises 1.0.3 upgrade. Simpler than before

I installed VoP 1.0.3 this morning and I found, together with my friend and fellow IBM Champion Tim Clark, that the installation is very simple if you are upgrading from VoP 1.0.2 . Just delete the VoP 1.0.2 files from the <Dominodata>/domino/workspace/applications/eclipse/plugins and copy the new files from the zip file you downloaded, in there. No need to replace the design of iwaredir and no need to touch the mailfiles; the two views needed are the same as before.

Now we have delegation of mail and calendar and there is an indication of unread messages in the folders.


Crossware Mail Signature app in an hybrid environment and Domino FP9. Apply IF2 or it will not work

A customer of mine uses the solution from Crossware to apply signatures to outgoing mails. I am helping them in moving users from on-premises Domino to Smartcloud Notes. The Crossware solution works in an hybrid environment, where the mail is routed through the on-prem server, but for us it did not work. After contacting Crossware Support, they told me that the SMTP bug introduced in FP9 breaks the functionality of their solution.

I applied FP9 IF2 to the on-prem server and it fixed the issue.
