Lotus Notes Migration migrate to Sharepoint Checkpoint

The simplest upgrade is often unsatisfactory: It takes advantage of many new features WSS 3.0/MOSS 2007. It requires numerous manual operations “post upgrade”. Often the best solution is to define a period of interregnum, and manage the transition.

Restructure means:
1. Building a new environment of SharePoint 2007 (able to take advantage of all the news)
2. Migrate data or content (documents, lists, pages, etc..) in a transit
3. Transfer the contents to the new and renovated SharePoint 2007 environment
4. Manage and update policies redirects paths (URLs)

Lotus Notes & Domino 8.5 Vs Microsoft Exchange & Outlook 2010

I found this lotus notes tutorial in fwd mail and it will help someone for make decision.

MICROSOFT (NSDQ:MSFT)’S EXCHANGE SERVER really came of age with the release of version 2007. Exchange 2007 offers a solid and complete messaging platform. The beta release of Exchange 2010 serves up even more features and functionality and looks like it may be the most robust Exchange offering yet.

Exchange has long enjoyed the lion’s share of the business messaging platform market. Does this mean that it is the best e-mail platform offering out there? Some would argue that isn’t the case. Microsoft dominates in the business client/server software market, so it stands to reason that Exchange would be the “best fit” for an organization already running a Windows environment. Perhaps that fact accounts as a major reason Exchange is so widely deployed.

However, IBM (NYSE:IBM)’s Domino platform with Lotus Notes still has a strong following. Die-hard Lotus Notes fans cite stability and security as the primary benefits for eschewing Exchange for Notes. We took a side-by-side view at the two latest releases of each platform: Exchange 2010 and Lotus Domino 8.5 and each e-mail server’s respective clients: Outlook 2007 and Lotus Notes client 8. We assessed each in five key areas: installation and deployment, interoperability and customization, feature set, performance and pricing.

BlackBerry Enterprise Lotus FAQ Solution

1. What are the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino requirements?

BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino requires that Lotus Domino TM Server and Client 4.6 or higher are installed (where the Lotus Domino server is in the LocalDomainServers group). Windows NT 4.0 server, Service Pack 3 or higher must be installed on the server.

2. Does BlackBerry Enterprise Server support Domino Cluster?

Yes, it does support cluster members. If a user’s mail file is located on a server that is a member of a Lotus Domino cluster, BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino will behave normally, connecting to the replica of the mail file as specified in the person document in the Domino Directory. BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino does not, at this time, support automatic failover to another cluster member in this configuration. If the primary mail server goes down, our application will skip this user for the duration of the outage, and pick up where it left off when the server comes back online.
Note:     Clustering of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino machine itself is not supported.

Check Lotus Notes Domino status by IsServerUp Function

Basically, the code connects to the remote server and checks to see if the template log.ntf can be found and it has a valid replica ID. If the template can be found and has a valid replica ID, then the server is up. Otherwise, assume the server is down. Our testing of this function amounted to running it as a scheduled agent with the remote server up and after we shut the remote server down.

Prevent inbound spam in Lotus Domino Mail Server part2

DNS blacklist filters overview

DNS blacklist filters are a new and powerful feature in Domino 6 and one of the more effective weapons against spam. With the DNS blacklist filters enabled, Domino will check inbound mail to see whether it originates from a mail server that is listed in one or more DNS blacklists (DNSBLs).

DNSBLs are databases that keep records of Internet SMTP mail hosts that are known sources of spam or permit open mail relaying. DNSBLs are maintained by many sources, both free and fee-based, and their effectiveness varies, so you may need to experiment with different DNSBLs to see how effective they are in your environment.

Lotus Notes is not a relational database – difference between Notes database and RDBMS

How does this differ from an RDBMS?
There are several areas of difference between Notes and a traditional relational database management system.

1. Notes keeps application code and data in the one database.
For sure, many RDBMS keep code in the database, as stored procedures, but this code is mainly database management code that deals with properly managing database operations, rather than implementing business and application logic.

Notes does not have any concept of code that is attached to data storage events. QuerySave and other events are attached to UI objects, and their operations. Notes’s application code is all kept in the database, and replicates with it.

Lotus Notes is not a relational database – How Notes database work

So how does the Notes database work?

Basically the Notes database contains a header, and then just one type of data object, called a Note. There are different types of Notes, one for ACL (Access Control Lists), one for Design elements, and one for Data notes. View indexes, built when a view is indexed, are also kept in Notes. View indexes don’t replicate. As it says in Inside Notes

One pillar of Notes/Domino design is the use of a single and simple data structure, called a note, to store all information — including design elements such as forms and views, as well as standard user documents — within a Notes database. This simple design feature leads to an incredibly powerful benefit: NOS (Notes Object Services) implements a single set of note-oriented services to create and manage all the different types of information that can be in a database.
