The purpose of this IBM Redpaper is to
show system administrators and IT architects how to use and leverage the
capabilities of the new Lotus Domino domain monitoring feature of IBM Lotus
Domino Version 7. The Lotus Domino domain monitoring feature provides customizable
monitoring capabilities and fast recognition and reporting of critical
server issues by delivering a single, feature-oriented view through which
administrators can see the status of multiple servers across a domain.

Looks like Notes users in Australia are
going to have to be careful when booking entries into their calendars during
the extra week of DST in 2006, even if they have the correct OS patches
installed.  According to this new TechNote
from IBM any calendar entries set to occur during the extra week of DST
in 2006, but booked prior to the OS patch being applied and any calendar
entries set to occur in future years during the same period but booked
while the OS patch is installed will end up in the wrong timeslot when
the OS patch is installed or removed.

This Redpaper provides an overview of features
and functionality of IBM Workplace Designer 2.5 and shows application developers
how to build applications for IBM Workplace Collaboration Services 2.5
and IBM Workplace Services Express 2.5. Within the paper, we introduce
a sample status tracking application, and show the developer specific step-by-step
development techniques used to build the component. We discuss specific
design elements in depth within the context of building the sample application
and provide best practices, hints and tips around collaborative development
within Workplace Designer.

The audience for this Redpaper is primarily
application developers with a background in, Domino development, Javascript
or other scripting languages.

Due to the commonwealth games being held
in Australia, several Australian states including New South Wales, Victoria,
Australian Capital Territory, South Australia and Tasmania, have changed
the Daylight Savings transition end dates to the first Sunday of April
2006 instead of the usual practice of ending on the last Sunday in March.

If your running your Domino server on
Microsoft Windows then you will need to make sure that the correct
patches for the OS are installed
as the timezone information is derived from the OS but if your running
a non-windows OS then you will need to tell the Domino server when to end
DST.

This procedure is very simple, just
add in the following notes.ini parameter and restart the server.

DSTlaw= begin_month, begin_week, begin_day,
end_month, end_week, end_day

So for 2006 in you would use DSTLAW=10,-1,1,4,1,1

And before anybody says that DST starts
in April and ends in October and that I have it backwards, remember that
it’s summer down there while it’s winter north of the equator so their
DST is opposite to ours, kind of like how the water flows down the plug
hole in the opposite direction down there also
