Sherlock Web: a QHSE management system (based on XPages and IBM XWork Server)
Mon, May 14th 2012 3:01a Per Henrik Lausten I am currently busy working on Sherlock Web: a complete web solution for management of quality, health, safety and environment (QHSE). The solution is based on XPages and the IBM XWork Server and is available as a hosted solution or as an on-premises solution. The licensing cost of the server and application platform is fixed at $2000 per year, since the solution runs on the IBM XWork Server. This makes it an ideal platform for companies with a large number of users.

Sat, Apr 21st 2012 11:43p Per Henrik Lausten I gave this presentation along with a live coding demo at the monthly NotesNet.dk meeting on April 19, 2012. The presentation covers elements of the XPages Extension Library that you can use to rapidly convert an existing Lotus Notes client application to a web application.
The sample database is available for download and uses a custom forum database as "backend". You can easily modify the code to use another backend database.

XPages: 2 very easy performance optimization tricks
Thu, Feb 23rd 2012 1:05a Per Henrik Lausten Here are 2 very easy ways to optimize performance for your XPages applications:
Enable "Use runtime optimized JavaScript and CSS resources" to have your JS and CSS files combined into fewer files. This reduces the number of HTTP requests that the browser has to make against your server and application and thereby makes the site load much faster.
Select "GZip" as the compression method to have your Domino server compress files and images. This reduces the amount of data that the browser has [read] Keywords: domino

Wed, Dec 14th 2011 10:55a Per Henrik Lausten Great news for XPages today: Notes/Domino 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1 has just been released.
In short, Upgrade Pack 1 is an IBM supported version of the XPages Extension Library. This should help remove the fear of the Extension Library being open source that some customers have had, and thereby improve the adoption of XPages out there.
Upgrade Pack 1 is available on Passport Advantage as part number CI5GIEN.

A very useful improvement to catching controlled errors such as "page not found" errors is to send the related HTTP status code in the response. So for "page not found" errors the HTTP response code 404 should be sent. This helps search engine crawlers understand that the page is not available whereby the search index can be updated accordingly.

Using ODBC for Domino 32-bit on Windows Server 64-bit
Mon, Apr 25th 2011 10:57p Per Henrik Lausten A friendly reminder: if you are running Lotus Domino 32-bit on a Windows Server x64 (64-bit) and need to use ODBC, then you need to define your ODBC data sources in the 32-bit ODBC Administrator program - and not in the standard 64-bit ODBC Administrator program. This is because the Lotus Domino ODBC drivers are 32-bit.
The 32-bit ODBC Administrator program is located at c:windowssyswow64odbcad32.exe.

Apple iPad
Sat, Jul 3rd 2010 2:58p Per Henrik Lausten I am now the happy owner of an Apple iPad 3G 64 GB . I bought the iPad while in London last week - actually on the iPhone 4 launch day on June 24. It was fun to experience the buzz in the Apple Store on Regent Street.

List of IBM IT architects on Twitter
Mon, Jan 18th 2010 2:33p Per Henrik Lausten I have created a Twitter list of IBM IT architects. If you are interested in following IBM IT architects on Twitter then follow this list. If you are an IBM IT architect and not on the list, then let me know on Twitter.
