Lotus Connections 3.0 – Additional download information for Linux

December 30, 2010 1 Comment

The IBM page “Download Lotus Connections 3.0″ which has the part numbers required for installing Lotus Connections 3.0 on Linux lists the 64-bit WebSphere Application Server components with the 32-bit WebSphere Application Server part numbers.

The correct part numbers for WebSphere Application Server 64-bit are:

  • C1G35ML WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 for Linux on x86, 64-bit
  • C1G36ML WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 Supplements for Linux on x86 64-bit (1 of 2)
  • C1G37ML WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 Supplements for Linux on x86 64-bit (2 of 2)

You also need to remember to download the required Fix Packs and iFixes.

Installing Lotus Connections on Windows 2008 R2

June 13, 2010 Leave a comment

Having predominately done Lotus Connections installs on Linux I had my first taste of installing it on Windows 2008, after some difficulty with the WAS install I found IBM technote 1408390 (thanks to a blog post by Mitch Cohen) which explained that to overcome the incompatibility between the IBM graphical installer and Windows 2008 you need to change the properties of the install.exe file to “Compatibility Mode” – “Windows 2008 (Service Pack 1).

There is also IBM technote 1405554 that covers an issue with the install of Lotus Connections itself (to do with the compatibility of the “User Account Services”) which can be worked around by right-clicking on the install program and selecting “Run as Administrator”.

P.S. TDI 6.1.1 is not compatible with Windows 2008 and the TDI Profiles import scripts are not compatible with TDI 7.

On the Lotus Connections Forum I’ve just seen an entry that contains a link to what is a clear and concise document (by Jessica Piziak) explaining WebSphere Application Server terminology for those that are new to it.
