I need to remind this “how to”; when LN client fails after entering the password it is because something weird is happening in the cache.
You can remove Cache.NDK and, at least in my case, it worked.

An image is more valuable than a thousand words, so,
Main components of a Lotus Notes Application mapped to corresponding SharePoint 2010 Custom Application.
The more challenging point on a migration to SharePoint from LN databases is the fact the final key users have to be aware of the target possibilities they have for the organization of the data.
Dear Mr Customer: “LN is not the same thing than SharePoint”
Here a tutorial video of 16 minutesthat is so helpful to understand this migration process.
The steps for moving the application are:
For step #3, they propose 3 tools
Ok, it’s a 16 minutes tutorial, but I missed:
My customer has a problem that is so common in the market: they are migrating from LN and has tons of Lotus Notes applications.
During the analysis process to migrate to other platform/s, some of these applications will be removed, some others will migrate or consolidate their data into other places, but what happens with the implemented business processes that the company want to run in the same way?
Researching sometime, several tools offer the migration of the data, but what happens with the business logic on the .NTF?
Then I found CEMTrek Migrator. I found also this video.
The video related to CIMTrek Migrator talks about:
I was also reading the FAQ, the more interesting for me were:
Some immediate questions came to my mind:
Just some notes to be read on future.
Lotus Notes will die because:
Cobol will survive because:
Let’s see if when I read this post in ten years I’m right or wrong
Reading Paul Mooney’s blog I have found this post related to the tittle, and I couldn’t stop writting there. I feel very affected by this inheritance, 🙂

Domino.doc is that tool that all that has used it has hated it (at least a little bit).
If you look for technical information in the Internet, there is nothing new from years ago. This is a little bit frustating.
Nevertheless there are a lot of people who is using this tool daily and they cannot live without it.
Part of my job is Documental solutions offering, with Documentum, Domino.doc… and Dom.doc has its own defined niche and it’s difficult to compete against it in that niche.
The only thing I hope is that migration to Quickr will be planned by IBM as easy as possible.
I have had used Quickr in Lotusgrenhouse and as it looks like, in part as Domino.doc, I think it’s a good entry point for a lot of people to get introduced to the Web 2.0 applications. Believe me, there are a lot of people they don’t know what is this and they work in our companies.

We are studying how to deploy lotus applications with MDS Studio & WSDL.
The starting was easy, but the real problem has started when we have tested the security of the Blackberry device to the Lotus Notes database.
We have been investigating about the Lotus Notes sessions creation and there is no easy way to get the session accesing with the the WSDL. I have done applications accesing using DIIOP and the NotesFactory object but this approach does not convince me at all.
Now we are thinking about to get the session using the POST method on the “?login” page of the Domino server and trying to use that session for the mobile user.
The questions that round my mind are:
– Is going to be possible to get the session with this method?
– Is able the Blackberry to store that session for next calls to the Lotus Domino Server?
– How is it possible that I have not found nothing about this problem on the Internet?
I hope to get some answers next week,
Today a client was asking me about the Limit of the folders in a LN Application.
After a while, I found a Tech Note in IBM site and I though, that’s the information my client is requesting me!
I sent the link, and after a little while, the answer was:
¿…?
….There is not a predetermined limit but the database is limited by the number of “handles” that can be used. The number of handles is limited to 10,495. …
How many handles is a folder?? Who are you trying to fool?
He was laughing but not kidding.
I’m also a little pissed off becuase I cannot find a clear answer for this “Technical” explanation.
I got through the exam for the IBM Lotus Notes Domino 7 Application Development,
je je, just 8 days before the Lotus 8 was launched.
IBM retires the Update exams when the next release is launched, so I nearly loose the Update…
Now it’s available Lotus Quickr in Lotus Greenhouse.
It’s defined like the fastest way to share everyday content across connected teams.
I have created a place based in a ‘Project Library’ template (there are around 8 templates).
After that you can visit your Welcome page, create announcements and Add Components!!.
In the body field of the announcement you can create tables, insert columns… The problem is that I cannot save it. I have post the problem in the forum.
As the template is a project library, I can create tasks, assign to a member, start date, end date… Then, from a view you can click directly on a progress bar to indicate the percentage you have covered (that’s cute). It’s really quick. Lotus Connections is slower that Quickr.
The basic template only contains these document types. After that, you can add components to your place: wiki, RSS, blog, libraries and contacts, so you can customize it. That’s very powerful.
You can add documents with the same features that you currently use in Domino.doc: check in, check out, edit profile…
To enhance your document management you can download a Plug-in for the Browser.
These 2 last facts are a good news for us. I have to pay more attention in these features in order to give to Domino.Doc a proper evolution, great!
