Vince Shuurman posted an article today in his blog about how to be up to date with the latest releases from OpenNTF using webservices.
The service returns the latest build number for a given project as well as a download URL to the latest release. It is not yet 100% tested finished, according to Vince.
The Standard User Analyzer helps developers and IT professionals diagnose issues that would prevent a program from running properly without administrator privileges. On Windows Vista, even administrators run most programs with standard user privileges by default, so it is important to ensure that your application does not have administrator access as a dependency.

Enter SetupLeaveServerTasks=1 a little known notes.ini setting for Domino servers that does exactly what it says on the tin. You add that line to your server notes.ini file and during future setups the servertasks lines won’t change.

Ich habe 3 Tickets für das Halbfinale am 4.7. in Dortmund. Leider bin ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt in Urlaub, und es wäre doch schade, wenn die Tickets verfallen. Beim letzten Stadionbesuch habe ich schon mal Fotos von den Plätzen gemacht. Da könnt ihr euch schon einmal ein Bild von der super Ausssicht machen . { Bild }
To play with the new Lotus Notes Access for SAP you do not need a fully installed SAP system. In some books from SAP Press there is a MiniSAP system on the CDs coming with the books.
I found a great tutorial on how to setup the MiniSAP system. And in the tutorial you can find a hint on how to “pimp” your SAP. I do not like the default picture or even the IDES image. I prefer this one 🙂
According to Rocky Oliver, a german version of Lotus Notes Access for SAP will be available in a couple of weeks …
This Knowledge Collection contains information regarding the most common errors and problems related to the use of the Research in Motion (RIM) wireless device, BlackBerry.
Found this in my inbox earlier this morning:
The certificate for some Java applets in IBM Lotus® Domino 6.x and Domino 7.0.x expired on 18 May 2006. Starting on May 19, 2006, Web users may see a message stating that the certificate has expired, when Domino applets are loaded by the JVM or JRE in a Web browser. Please consult the following technote for more details:

Browsing the Lotus Notes KnowledgeBase, I found loads of entries regarding the Lotus Notes Access for SAP. And I’m asking myself “IBM, why such a quickshot ? ”
There was no need to publish the software in this early state … afraid of Microsoft announcing “duet” ??
Pls. IBM do me and all of us in the Lotus Notes community a favor and give Rocky Oliver ( and his team ? ) the time to design some rock solid code ( I know, he can 🙂 )

OpenWysiwyg is the ultimate cross-browser “textarea” replacement, which can quickly turn any textarea into a powerful WYSIWYG editor with just a few simple lines of code. OpenWysiwyg is a LGPL product of OpenWebWare which is now ported to Notes/Domino, independant of the originating company.
I received an email from Julian Robichaux and Bruce Elgort this afternoon:
Not sure what/who the information source was, but the quote below came from the TLCC Newsletter that was in my e-mail inbox this morning:
7. Notes 7.0.2 will have a “memory stick” option
Version 7.0.2 of Notes (due out in September) will have an option to allow installation of the Notes client on a memory stick. This will allow you to carry around the Notes client and your databases with you and simply plug the stick into any computer and have your Notes client up and running. The Notes client software is all installed on the memory stick so no software is required on the computer’s hard drive. At the moment, support is only planned for the Notes client, not the Designer or Administrator clients. This new feature is called Lotus Notes Nomad.
… so schreibt das heute der Spiegel. Hmm, ich hätte da eine Idee.
Dear Bill,
please drop me an email and I’ll send you my account information.
kind regards

As I posted before, IBM does not provide us with a method to insert content from one RichTextItem to another RichTextItem. I’m not talking about AppendRTItem … And it seems that nobody in the Notes Community has a solution for this.
Oh, yes, Ben Langhinrichs has a solution. But I’m not talking ’bout MIDAS. I did some research today and I think that it could be done using native Notes. Keywords are: DXLExporter, DXLImporter, Stream, string operations.
Using native Notes capabilities, I am able to replace a “TAG” with content of the according RTItem from another document.
… To be continued 🙂
For german native speakers, there is a posting on atnotes.de for this topic
Have you ever tried to INSERT a RichTextItem into an existing RichTextItem instead of appending it ?
Let’s see how we could accomplish this. Actually there is no explicit method in the NotesRichText class to insert an item, but let’s see what the AppendRTItem method could do for us.
Oh, YES, here it is … right from the designer help ( version 6.5.1 ):
Usage
By default the insertion occurs at the end of the item. You can change the insertion point with BeginInsert and EndInsert.
This is easy, here is the code
Dim ses As New notessession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim col As notesdocumentcollection
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim rtitem2 As NotesRichTextItem
Dim rtitem1 As NotesRichTextItem
Dim rtnav As NotesRichTextNavigator
Set db=ses.CurrentDatabase
Set col=db.unprocesseddocuments
Set doc=col.GetFirstDocument
Set rtitem1 = doc.getfirstitem("Body")
Set rtitem2 = doc.getfirstitem("RTF")
Set rtnav = rtitem.CreateNavigator
Call rtnav.FindNthElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TEXTPARAGRAPH,1)
Call rtitem1.BeginInsert(rtnav)
Call rtitem1.addnewline(1)
Call rtitem1.AppendRTItem(rtitem2)
Call rtitem1.EndInsert
Call doc.save(True, True)
But what is this ? When you execute the code you’ll get an error message: “Method is not available.”
Hmm, do a search on the Lotus Notes KnowledgeBase and you’ll find this entry. And you can see in the document that there is an SPR# LGAA5N6FHT. But , huuuh, what is that ?
and was determined not to be a software problem. Notes and Domino are functioning as designed.
Does the documentation does not implies that it IS possible ? OK, it takes some time to code a new function and do all the quality stuff ( the KB document ist from the year 2004 as well as the mentioned SPR ) . Maybe they built it into the Notes 7 codestream.
But, NO WAY !!! Instead of having it got to work they just changed the designer help.
Usage
The insertion occurs at the end of the item. AppendRTItem cannot be called after BeginInsert.
IBM. please don’t tell me that ist is not possible to build this function !!! You’ve had 2 years. Instead of NEW classes and methods and stuff you should rather finish the coding of already intended methods in existing classes.
If you are not able to do the coding, please ask Ben Langhinrichs. He is able to solve the problem. And inserting RTItems the same way as inserting pure text after BeginInsert is a function that is needed, indeed.
I’ll hope tha some of the new guys at IBM will listen to the customers needs.
Bad code ? What do you think ? …
on error goto there
.
.' some code
.
End If
End If
.
. ' more Code, no exit function so far
.
there:
If Err > 0 Then
Call l.LogAction("Error in some sub " & Cstr(Err) & " " & Error$ )
Resume outa_here
End If
outa_here:
End Function
another example
ads = doc.size
If ads = "" Then ads = "0"
If Ccur(ads/1024) > Ccur(mailsize) Then

Warum lassen wir es zu, daÃ? unsere Werte dermaÃ?en mit FüÃ?en getreten werden ? Haben wir keine Ehre ??
