Estimate your efforts accordingly. This is a unique opportunity to repartition the entire application portfolio to better fit the current needs. Why not take advantage of that?
Applications that are ripe for decommissioning are those that are no longer actively used. Such applications are still running just for future reference to historical data and for potential legal requests. And largely because of inertia. In that case, all historical data should be extracted from Lotus Notes Domino databases into open standard formats, so the applications can be retired.
Similarly, for all applications that will be migrated away from Notes and Domino , the first step in this process is data archiving. Application data should be exported and archived in such a way that the data is detached from the Domino platform so that records can be accessed and searched independently until the end of their corresponding retention period. Only the current data from the old application should be extracted, transformed, and loaded into the new system.
Finally, the old applications can be retired. We would like to learn which direction you chose. One of those described below, or some other? Take a quick really quick! Document libraries have been moved to SharePoint or other content services platforms. Knowledge bases are now hosted on corporate wikis such as Atlassian Confluence. Meetings and discussions are taking place today on Microsoft Teams or Slack , the hubs of a modern digital workplace.
CRM, service management, and similar applications, which used to be developed on Notes and Domino, have now been replaced by Salesforce , ServiceNow , and other commercial packages. Even though these leading commercial SaaS offerings have become so flexible and expandable that some of them have grown to be platforms in their own right, there are still so many tailor-made applications that cannot be simply replaced by commercial applications.
So, what can we do with highly specialized line-of-business applications or all of those point solutions spread across various business units? Some IT groups tend to redevelop old Lotus Notes applications from scratch — especially those applications that have grown in complexity or in the number of users — so the new solutions are based on a general technology stack of their choice. They appreciate flexibility of professional-grade programming languages, frameworks, databases, and tools.
This flexibility is valued higher than the productivity that they previously enjoyed with Lotus Notes and Domino. Popular NoSQL databases, such as MongoDB, can help former Domino developers feel at home when designing databases in which to store a variety of semi-structured documents. At the opposite side from pro-code tech stacks are low-code application platforms LCAPs.
Companies normally want to minimize time and complexity of in-house application development after all, Lotus Notes owes its success to this , but they expect even more now: they need to produce consumer-grade applications — web and mobile — with the same set of tools. And it should also facilitate frequent changes in the future.
According to Gartner , over 50 percent of medium-to-large enterprises will have adopted an LCAP as one of their strategic application platforms by On the Domino platform alone not to mention Connections and Sametime , they are trying to support just about everything: from LotusScript to Node.
The browser dynamically downloads WebAssembly binaries and your old Lotus Notes applications get reincarnated within the browser. How amazing is that? HCL is keeping Notes alive for a good reason, but the company actually has another card or two up its sleeve. It is understandable that they have to struggle with a huge backlog left by IBM.
So, after the initial catch-up phase, we will finally see more clearly what the future holds for Domino: what is a short-term fix to buy some time and what are the strategic initiatives. And that strategic initiatives are aiming for a low-code future. The product is still in its infancy, and lacks some important features such as serious support for rich-text data, but it has the potential to become the first option for Domino application development.
If you are looking to develop native Domino web applications, with responsive UI, web forms, views, workflows and approvals, HCL wants you to use Domino Volt. Until recently, this product was off the radar for the Lotus Notes and Domino community. Now, HCL Software is willing to bet the farm on it. Long story short, the product Kony Quantum was originally developed by Kony Inc. Kony Inc. HCL is busy working on the product, and the integration with Domino is underway.
But Domino is also here to stay; Volt MX becomes a natural alternative to mobile app development for Domino, and will complement Domino Volt for web development. HCL supports on-premises installations, as well as a container-based deployment model for various cloud computing options. SharePoint — both online and on-prem — is undoubtedly the most popular option for companies transitioning from Lotus Notes. On the one hand, SharePoint is an excellent alternative if you need to replace ancient Lotus Notes document libraries or Domino.
SharePoint demands additional tools, or custom. NET development, or both. Microsoft got back with Power Platform and Office , clearly signaling that the future of SharePoint is in the cloud. Hybrid environments will be supported by on-prem gateways. Organizations that have made significant investments in custom SharePoint solutions cannot simply move those solutions to the cloud or even to the latest version of SharePoint Server in some cases!
So many of those who had migrated from Lotus Notes found themselves trapped once again by their then-new, now-obsolete custom solutions. They are facing yet another migration, this time to Microsoft In other words, if you are aiming for SharePoint now, you will likely be landing on the Power Platform anyway.
Certainly, you can still start with SharePoint lists and then build your solutions by using Power Apps and Power Automate. But why limit yourself just to lists and libraries? Dataverse is not a regular database. It sits on top of Microsoft Azure SQL and provides additional capabilities beyond the relational storage.
These capabilities include mobile offline work; no-code business rules; advanced search and filtering; Office, Exchange, and SharePoint integration; managed data lakes; and more. On top of the relational storage, Dataverse provides some business-level data types e.
By doing so, Microsoft is betting that a new class of apps, born inside Teams and shared through Teams, will proliferate across the enterprise. HCL talked it up using examples that included its own marketing department creating forms, and law firm providing its staff with access to documents and workflow facilities.
Domino is now also able to run in clouds. Long story short: HCL appears not to be throwing megabucks at marketing this release, and its new bits are nice catchups — not Exchange killers.
HCL seems to know this, as it is also making generous upgrade offers. Free licenses for Volt and HCL's no-cost assistance developing a Nomad app are on offer for those willing to move to version 12 in the next 12 weeks. Domino users can, however, take comfort from the fact that HCL has created three major releases since acquiring Domino in The US government sued Uber this week, claiming the ride-hailing app giant unfairly charges disabled riders waiting fees if they need extra time to get into vehicles.
A surcharge is added on top of a ride fare if a passenger takes longer than two minutes to enter a vehicle after it arrives. Uber added wait time fees in some US cities in before expanding the policy across the country. These fees, however, discriminate against people with mobility or visibility issues, federal prosecutors argue. When her Uber arrived, her wheelchair needed to be folded away into the vehicle, and a nursing assistant helped her into the car.
The whole process took about five minutes. Microsoft Windows 11 build appears to prevent links associated with the Microsoft Edge browser from being handled by third-party applications, a change one developer argues is anticompetitive. Back in , Daniel Aleksandersen created a free helper application called EdgeDeflector to counter behavioral changes Microsoft made in the way Windows handles mouse clicks on certain web links.
But there are ways to register a custom protocol handler, for operating systems and web browsers , that defines the scheme to access a given resource URI. Jointly US-Dutch owned Booking. The alleged miscreant, named as "Andrew", is said to have stolen "details of thousands of hotel reservations in countries in the Middle East," according to a new book written by three Dutch journalists.
Helpfully for non-Francophones, the homepage and much of the info is in English — although saying that, just to warn you, the same isn't true of all the background information and the various organisational pages we're about to link to. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has bagged a contract to build a supercomputer for the United Weather Centres — West, the remit being to help improve the accuracy of forecasts in Northern Europe. While the current version, Version 8.
We've done a lot of joint work. Microsoft has contributed to the Linux kernel in support of better performance. SQL Server runs very well on Linux and our customers see a lot of value in having the combination. What is a system role?
UK-based price comparision and broadband swapping service Uswitch has totted up the figures and come up with a surprising candidate for most outage incidents in Lotus Domino discovery. Lotus Domino fingerprinting. Starting with v7. Domino environments normally consist of one or more servers working together with data stored in Notes Storage Format NSF files. There are usually many NSFs on any given Domino server. Each entry in the NSF may have a title, one or more body fields, and attachments.
For example:. An NSF for email might have the fields: subject, to, from, bcc, body, and attachment. An NSF for inventory management might have the fields: catalog number, title, description, and expiration date.
These sections describe how to integrate your system with Data Security. Install Lotus Notes on the machine where you will install the Data Security crawler. This can be the machine where you plan to install the Data Security server software; or it can be a stand-alone machine where you plan to install the crawler agent.
The crawler you will use for Domino fingerprinting and discovery must be on the same machine as Lotus Notes. Be sure that the installation is done for "Anyone who uses this computer.
Log on to Lotus Notes and supply a user.
