Neue features in Lotus Notes/Domino 6.5.2

Kategorie: Notes/Domino 6.x

Client
Added unique identifier for Notes connection to Sametime
There is now a unique identifier that Notes uses as its login type to a Sametime server; 0x2000. This provides administrators with an easy way to separately monitor connections from Notes and from the Sametime Connect client. Previously, both Notes and the Sametime Connect client were identified with the same code.

Domino Web Access

Support for Reply/Forward indicators
Domino Web Access supports the use of Reply/Forward indicators, allowing a user to see whether a message has been replied to, or forwarded.

DWA will uses the same setting as the Notes Client to determine whether to set the Reply/Forward indicators. The setting is in Database property: "Mark parent note on reply or forward". By default, the feature is enabled in mail template. Note that DWA does not provide its own UI to change this setting, because all DWA users do not have the right to change the database properties, by default.

There are icons in the view level, as shown below:

- Replied to
- Forwarded
- Replied and forwarded


For opened documents, there are areas under the Subject field for the Follow-up flag and the Forward/Reply indicator, the lines are stacked, with the Follow-up line appearing first.


iSeries

System SSL support, to enable use of hardware cryptography cards
System SSL support can now be enabled through the GSKit APIs. This allows hardware cryptography cards to be used with Domino's HTTP.

Serviceability enhancements
These enhancements include:

• Automatic Diagnostic Collection tool - The Automatic Diagnostic Collection tool is a way for Administrators to automatically collect crash diagnostic data on Notes clients and Domino servers, and send that information to a centralized mail-in database of their choosing. This will eliminate the issue of users not reporting crashes, or not capturing the proper data on a client or server crash.
• Memcheck - Memcheck is a binary file (executable) that is invoked by the NSD utility whenever NSD is run. Memcheck runs a scan of all shared memory segments in use by Notes processes, as well as the individual stack memory allocated to each process. Memcheck determines if the memory segment format matches the expected format for the memory segment.
• Trapleak stack dumping code - Used to debug Leak in Notes Memory.

Platforms

Support for Macintosh OS10.3
As of release 6.5.2, the Notes Client is supported on Macintosh OS10.3.

Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8.0
As of release 6.5.2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0, and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 8.0 are supported platforms for the Domino server.

Smart Upgrade

A Shared Map Drive and an Attached Kit can be specified in a Smart Upgrade Kit
In a smart upgrade kit, you can now specify both a network path and attached kit. If the client can access the network path, it will use it. If it can not access the shared drive, it utilizes the attached kit for smart upgrade. This helps users who have machines at work that need to be upgraded and have access to the shared map drive, as well as machines at home where users don't necessarily have the mapped drive available.
