In the Lotus Notes Domino Designer there is a cool feature called Manage Working Sets, this is a tool that allows you to organize all of your Lotus Notes applications but this tool is stored locally (no on the server). If you are getting a new computer or want to do a clean install of the Lotus Notes client you will have to rebuild this list, which is no fun.
Location of the “workingsets.xml” file:
\IBM\Lotus\Notes\Data\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench
Just move this file from your current install to the new. I hope this saves someone some time like it did me.
I finally got around to upgrading SMG from 9.5.1 to 9.5.3 and things went bad. Somehow the update failed and i got this error message. I followed their directions but the error would not go away. I stumbled onto this link and found out that if I used the “rpmdb -r” command first then ran “update install” it finally fixed the problem.

IBM Xpages Forum
IBM has always hosted discussion forums for their products where anyone can go there and post & answer questions and search for answers, but they have not changed the look of that discussion forums since 1997. Well with the release of Xpages a few years back I was wondering if they would put their money where their mouth is and release an Xpages based discussion forum. Well they did at the begining of this year and I’m just now taking notice. You can check them out at: Xpages Forum
or use this direct link : http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/xpagesforum.nsf
If you’ve been using Xpages Desginer and strugling with slowness in a dominoView in design or source mode then I have a tip that might help speed things up.
Just to describe the problem a little more; anytime you select a design element or update text it takes anywhere from 2 min to 5 minutes to give you control back to the Lotus Notes Designer. I know this is never mentioned in any of the tutorials because they always give examples of small apps. I run into this when editing an existing xpages custom control that uses dominView tag. Anyway I finally disabled the “data palette” on the right side of the designer. For some reason it takes forever to make changes to xpages that use dominoView when the data palette is enabled and you are dealing with a view that has over 300 documents.
Have you been trying to get your SBG (Symantec Brightmail Gateway) to work with your Lotus Notes Domino sever via LDAP? Sure they have come a long way since version 6.x (currently on version 9.x) to help with making LDAP work with out of the box, but it still required a bit of tweaking to get SBG to see the correct groups types on the Domino Server.
The Trick was to tweak the query under “Group Listing Query” > “Customize Query” to: (&(objectclass=dominogroup)(|(grouptype=0)(grouptype=1)))
Now the SBG server sees all the domino group types of “Mail Only”.
Have you ever gotten this message on your server before? I hadn’t until recently and there really wasn’t much info about it except on IBM’s Support Portal. I gotta admit, I rarely find answers there so I was pleasantly surprised.
Basically a full text index is corrupt and I had no way of finding it. I ended up deleting all indexes on the server and restarting it, then the message went away and nupdate.exe ran again.
take care

I have been installing custom templates from SNAPPS and found one to be very useful. QPresent, the video posted on LotusRockStar is great but on my install the submit button did not show. I ended up having to edit the “Presentation” form, downloading “Presentation.html” , editing it the html then uploading it back to the presentation form. Strange
