IBM announced that Lotus Notes/Domino 8.5.2 FP3 packages are ready to be downloaded. The fix pack contains several critical fixes and is recommended for all 8.5.2 users.
Preliminary fix list contained by FP3 can be seen on:
There are a couple of improvements in this release, such as Firefox 5 & Internet Explorer 9 support for iNotes.
To download FP3, you can use Fix Central. I have generated a list of all available fixes for Notes and Domino... Parts are not yet available on Passport Advantage as I posted this entry.
Two critical HTTP problems in Domino 9...
Fri, Mar 29th 2013 6:48a Serdar Basegmez After I upgraded my servers to Domino 9, I have found two problems affecting HTTP task. 1. Redirect TCP to SSL problem... My HTTP task stopped responding just after the upgrade. When I look into thread logs I saw that it was redirecting every requests to the same URL! After a couple of tests, I found that if you have "Redirect TCP to SSL" checked in your Internet Site document, it fails with infinite redirection problem. I posted the issue into the N/D 9.0 Social Edition forum and [read] Keywords: administration

Happy Pi Day present: Pi Calculator for XPages...
Thu, Mar 14th 2013 2:56a Serdar Basegmez Today is the "Pi Day"... Last week I was playing with Threads and Jobs project from OpenNTF. I needed a very long job to be run n the server-side. I have thought calculating pi digits would be a cool selection :) I found a Javascript-based Spigot algorithm by Stephen R. Schmitt and easily converted to Java (sorry about the code!). Notice that, on an average machine it calculates 10,000 digits in less than a minute. Now consider, ENIAC has calculated 2037 digits in 70 hours in 1949! [read] Keywords: xpages database

DOTS Deep Dive 4: I can schedule myself...
Thu, Feb 21st 2013 5:20a Serdar Basegmez Finally, we will be able to enable FeedMonster for CollaborationToday project. While doing final touches, I have been challenged by a question: "Can we schedule DOTS tasklets programmatically?" Actually, this is in the wish list for the next version of DOTS. But we can do some trick here. I didn't test this on Domino 9 but it should work. Here is the code: package org.openntf.news.playground.tasklets; import org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException; import org.eclipse.core [read] Keywords: domino

DOTS Deep Dive 3: Warning for Deadlocks
Thu, Feb 14th 2013 7:03a Serdar Basegmez Last time, I have blogged about the importance of the importantance of canceling tasklets... In most of the time, canceling a task is a 'choice' you have. You might want to stop the task for a reason. However, a very important problem is falling into deadlocks. If somehow your code falls into a deadlock or stuck situation, that would lock your DOTS container entirely. DOTS uses a basic mechanism for identifying scheduled tasklets that are stuck. Every tasklet starts its life with a pre [read] Keywords: ibm

DOTS Deep Dive 2: Cancel me or I will crash your server...
Wed, Feb 13th 2013 3:53a Serdar Basegmez I just wanted to emphasize an important functionality within DOTS... One of our slides in the recent DOTS session in IBM Connect 2013, we have talked about the "monitor" argument in tasklets. It has two important uses. First of all, you might let DOTS container know about your progress. Second, it allows you to cancel your task in a less-disruptive manner. Let's dive into code here. Our tasklet is running every five seconds and wait 30 seconds each run: @RunEvery( every=5, [read] Keywords: domino

DOTS Deep Dive 1: Art of Scheduling Tasklets
Mon, Feb 11th 2013 4:02a Serdar Basegmez After a successful IBM Connect session, I started a series of posts, based on feedbacks I received from other developers. There was a little thing I didn't test before the session and this issue has been asked a couple of times: Possible conflicts between scheduled tasklets. Unfortunately, current implementation within DOTS is based on single threaded approach for tasklets. There are three different threads responsible in DOTS tasklet container for scheduled, manual and triggerred tasklet [read] Keywords: domino

A rookie speaker was here...
Wed, Feb 6th 2013 7:06a Serdar Basegmez I was there, at IBM Connect 2013. My second Orlando visit was far more greater this time. A speaker badge combined to the IBM Champion ribbon, more experience and more fun! This year, my schedule was packed. I have planned lots of sessions and attended most of them. After last year's disappointment in BDD, I attended master classes on sunday and they were great! Two sessions were approaching development process in a different angle and they were especially exceptional. On sunday master [read] Keywords: domino
