Kategorie: Notes/Domino 7.x

The following list represents an overview of the new features that are available in IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 7.0.1. For additional information about new features, please refer to the Documentation Updates chapter of these release notes.

Notes Client

Click-to-Call
Click-to-call is a feature that allows third-party vendors to build host services based on IBM Lotus Sametime 7.0 Windows Telephony Toolkit. With Click-to-call, Notes Instant Messaging users can call into a phone system/conference call with one click in the Notes client. This feature is enabled via the Notes.INI setting "Click2DialEnabled =1". The feature is turned off by default.

Folder Expiration
The mail template now contains Folder Expiration information.

Notes Instant messaging client displays "Away" state when keyboard/mouse inactive
The Notes Instant Messaging client now automatically changes the Active/Away status based upon the status of the OS (the keyboard or mouse being inactive). Previously, the Active/Away status was changed based on the Notes client status. This feature is turned off by default; to enable this feature, set the following Notes.INI variables:

• "$STActiveToAwayEnabled=1" to enable "Active to Away" on idle
• "$STAwayToActiveEnabled=1" to enable "Away to Active" on return from idle
• "$STActiveToAwayTimeout=time" to set idle time threshold (in minutes)

'German (Standard)' changed to 'German (Pre-reform)'
The locale setting "German (Standard)" has been changed to "German (Pre-reform)"; the default setting for the German locale is now "German (Reform)".

Domino Web Access

User may save preferred dictionary for spell check
Domino Web Access now allows users to specify a preferred default dictionary to be used for spell checking.

Domino Designer

Hover Help for column icons
The Designer view column icons now include descriptive text, available by allowing the cursor to "hover" over each icon.

Domino Server

New Notes.INI variable - RouterMaxDeliveryDbSize
The new RouterMaxDeliveryDbSize Notes.INI variable specifies, in megabytes, the maximum database size allowed for a delivery.s;cd

In previous releases of Domino, a 3 GB limit on mail files was enforced by setting the quota size on a mail file to 3 GB, and enabling the Router to obey quotas. This was done to prevent rogue agents, undetected routing loops, or other scenarios that could cause uncontrolled mail file growth.

Beginning in Domino 7, a Notes client-based solution uses the quota size limit on databses to prevent mail sending when a user is over quota. However, in order that incoming mail is not delayed or restricted, the Router has been configured to not obey quotas, and customers lose their previous maximum mail file size solution.

If RouterMaxDeliveryDbSize is defined with any nonzero value, the Router will check each message to be delivered, and verify that the current mail file size plus the size of the current message is less than or equal to the size specified. This check assumes that the file might need to be extended to make space for the message being delivered, and does not account for any unused space in the database that might be able to accommodate the message.

For more information, please see "Using the RouterMaxDeliveryDbSize Notes.INI variable" in the 'Documentation updates' section of these release notes.
