XPages and the future of Domino Server...

Several weeks ago Volker Weber (one of the most popular and divergent bloggers in the community) blogged about XPages and its future.

Vowe mentions about a speculation of building WAS implementation about XPages. It reminded me a constant argument about 'thinking/marketing/selling Domino server as an application development environment'. BTW the argument is so old that Ed Brill blogged in 2003: "Another conspiracy element addressed" :)

Useful tool to troubleshoot Out of Office Agent issues

Out of Office agent means problem for an average system administrator. Many users complaint their agent does not work properly. Sometimes, they simply don't wait to get response, or don't know they will receive only one response for each sender. However, in some cases the issue is related with the configuration of server, database or ACL.

IBM Lotus support released this useful tool to troubleshoot some basic issues. It also provides a couple of utility to fix multiple database ACL settings or configuration.

As warned on the technote, be careful to run the utility...
