Server-based provisioning
With Domino 8, an administrator has all the tools necessary to deploy: Version upgrades to the core Lotus Notes client, using the Smart Upgrade Kits. New features for the Lotus Notes 8 client menus and new plug-ins for the Lotus Notes 8 client sidebar through the component provisioning features. Traditional Lotus Notes applications through replication. Composite applications through a combination of replication and component provisioning, depending on the design of the composite application.

IBM Lotus Domino Web Access Lite Mode

Simplified mail experience Ideal for traveling users Web 2.0 design framework

Whats new in Domino 8 Server | Notes/Domino 8 Workshop | Dallas Innovation Center

Who Is Lite Mode Intended For?

Shared kiosk users Low usage profile Basic mail Easy to use Satellite connection Simplified mail experience

Whats new in Domino 8 Server | Notes/Domino 8 Workshop | Dallas Innovation Center

What is Lite Mode?

Whats new in Domino 8 Server | Notes/Domino 8 Workshop | Dallas Innovation Center

Why is Lite Mode Faster?

Only necessary features = less code = less transactions More features downloaded as needed Features downloaded only once and reused Features interpreted by the browser only once and reused
unlike multi-page architectures

Only necessary images displayed

Whats new in Domino 8 Server | Notes/Domino 8 Workshop | Dallas Innovation Center

Domino / DB2 Integration

Value of Domino / DB2 integration options Understanding Domino and DB2 configuration options Managing Data Security Domino / DB2 Usage Guidelines Example Applications

Slide 25

Whats new in Domino 8 Server | Notes/Domino 8 Workshop | Dallas Innovation Center

Value of Domino with DB2

For existing Domino customers
Potential performance improvement for some Domino applications New types of Domino applications can be developed

For existing DB2 customers

DB2 applications can take advantage of Domino security model New method for accessing DB2 data Domino data storage, backup and recovery can be managed using DB2 tools

For all customers

Customers can incorporate Domino data in J2EE applications Applications can be developed to combine data from Domino databases and DB2 databases WebSphere MQ, IMS and CICS can be leveraged. DB2 Information Integrator's federated data capabilities can integrate data in other systems (like Oracle and SQL Server) with their Domino applications

NSF => DB2

Link file

NSF

DB2

Slide 27

Whats new in Domino 8 Server | Notes/Domino 8 Workshop | Dallas Innovation Center

DB2 hosted Databases

Databases still "appear" as .NSF files Stub files that point to DB2 (like database link files) Maintains path integrity for formula, script, URLs Compact p converts real NSF to DB2 (no automatic reversal of this conversion)

DB2 Access Views (DAVs) What are they ?

Design element in Domino database that defines a DB2 view of a set of data in DB2 - created and managed with Domino Designer Resolves difference between Domino's unstructured data and DB2's structured tables Makes data available via standard SQL queries Allows ODBC/JDBC clients to access the data directly from DB2 Respects Domino security mechanisms Requires a mapping from Domino person document to DB2 user ID

Slide 29

Whats new in Domino 8 Server | Notes/Domino 8 Workshop | Dallas Innovation Center

SQL Query Views What are they ?

Design element in Domino database that defines how Notes applications access data in DB2 - created and managed with Domino Designer

A Domino view populated via SQL query rather than view selection formula

Can be composed dynamically in the Notes application e.g. prompt user for input and re-execute different SQL

Can JOIN data from multiple DB2 tables/views

No data is stored as part of the NSF (only the design)

Domino and DB2 Usage Guidelines

When is DB2 an appropriate storage choice ?
Customer has data in DB2 that would be useful to aggregate and display in real-time in Notes-based applications (query view) Customer has a very large Notes application with a large number of views that typically only serve different selection or sort formulas (access view and query view) Customer has external application that requires access to data stored in Domino application (access view) Customer wants to integrate J2EE applications with data stored in Domino (access view) e.g. Portal / Workplace integration or coexistence Customer uses LEI or other DBMS integration tool (NotesPump) that pushes data back and forth and would benefit from a single copy of the DB2 data
Slide 35

Whats new in Domino 8 Server | Notes/Domino 8 Workshop | Dallas Innovation Center

Domino and DB2 Usage Guidelines

When is DB2 not an appropriate (at least for now) storage choice ?
IMAP4 email retrieval protocol cannot be used against mail databases stored in DB2 SCOS (Shared Mail) cannot be used with DB2 Local replicas of databases in DB2 are stored locally in NSF format and DB2 items are hidden; there is no option for storing local data in DB2 When developers want to control the underlying DB2 database schema and structure; LEI is the better fit

Domino and DB2 - Potential Misconceptions

By converting my NSF databases to DB2 I will see a performance improvement This MAY only be true if the application is modified to make use of DB2 Access and Query Views Some applications may see an initial performance degradation until some DB2 tuning is performed Converting my NSF to DB2 will give me relational structure in my application Domino databases do not automatically inherit relational structure just by moving them into DB2 There is no referential integrity for the Domino data and relationships between the tables cannot be manipulated I can make the DB2 tables look just how I want The DB2 schema is fixed and is the same for any database converted from NSF to DB2
