Seit heute kann man die offizielle IBM Connections iPhone App im App Store runterladen:

http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/ibm-connections/id450533489?l=en&mt=8

Damit die Applikation mit IBM Connections funktioniert braucht ihr Version 3.0.1 und das July Update (interim fix: 3.0.1.0-IC-Multi-Mobi-IFLO61851) für Connections, welches ihr auf FixCentral finden könnt: http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/

Die Applikation bietet mehr oder weniger die Funktionalität, welche auch das mobile Webinterface von Connections bietet, hat aber einige kleine Ergänzungen:
- die Login Credentials werden gespeichert und man ist somit immer sofort eingeloggt
- Integration der Kamera Funktion, Fotos können direkt hochgeladen werden (Profilfoto, Dateien)

Hier einige Screenshots, welche euch einen Eindruck der Funktionalität vermitteln sollen:

Im Profil kann man direkt ein neues Profilfoto hochladen resp. ein neues Foto mit dem iPhone erstellen

Man kann Fotos auch direkt in die Dateien hochladen (mit tagging etc.)

Bilder kann man direkt betrachten oder auch aufs iPhone herunterladen.

Es gibt auch eine Applikation für Android & BlackBerry und das schöne dabei ist, dass alle das gleiche Interface nutzen. Die Funktionalität auf allen Geräten ist die gleiche und die Schulung und der Support von den Endbenutzer stellt somit keinen grossen Aufwand dar.

Activities storetype changed! – Migration from Connections 4 to 4.5 Thu, Apr 25th 2013 8:00a Klaus Bild I just upgraded our Connections environment from 4 to 4.5. Unfortunately it didn’t run as smoothly as expected. I did a side-by-side migration (no application artifacts export) and copied all content stores to the new server A really nasty problem was that all activities file uploads could not be accessed after the upgrade So I checked logs and the DB tables and found out that the storetype of activities uploads changed from filesystem to filestore -> everytime I tried to download pre [read] Keywords: connections ibm application db2 javascript server twitter widgets xml

IBM Notes 9 & Sametime – preferred Chat window Thu, Feb 14th 2013 7:09a Klaus Bild I’m using Notes 9 as my primary Sametime client since the public beta came out. Unfortunately when someone tries to chat with me (and I’m logged into Connections) the browser based chat window opens up and not the embedded Sametime client. But of course you can change this behavior on your Sametime server, just add 1246 (Notes9 client type ID) to your VPS_PREFERRED_LOGIN_TYPES parameter in your Sametime.ini: You can find a complete list of client types in this Technote Tweet [read] Keywords: connections ibm notes sametime sametimeibm javascript server twitter widgets

Lost Websphere password – there’s an easy way to recover it! Fri, Jan 18th 2013 5:14a Klaus Bild Did you ever forget your wasadmin password? I did and my workaround was to disable the Websphere security and to enable it again via the admin interface. But there is a much easier way to recover your password, just go to http://www.sysman.nl/wasdecoder/ and fill in your encrypted passsword, done: I leave it up to you to decide if this is a WAS security issue or not.

Blackberry and IBM Connections: Via field doesn’t conform to RFC2616 Wed, Nov 28th 2012 6:10a Klaus Bild We had some strange issues with BB trying to connect to our Connections environment. Whenever we used a WLAN on the BB everything just worked fine but without WLAN we got a nice little error: Via field doesn’t conform to RFC2616 We are using a caching proxy and we thought that the issue was related to the proxy settings. Today by accident I found a solution: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?externalId=KB31625 Tweet [read] Keywords: connections ibm blackberry javascript twitter widgets
