There was a day of rather muted celebrations today, never the less the Studios has become a great addition to DLP – the up-and-coming Ratatouille dark ride coming in 2014 and more work possible on revamping other parts of the Studios there is much to look forward over the next couple of years.
I am off to DLP for 6 days on Sunday so will report on how constuction and revamps are going – DLP needs some serious investment – it is an awesome place.

Wed, Apr 3rd 2013 6:12a Sharon Bellamy If you are attempting to install Connecitons 4.5 on RHEL 6.3 you will have noticed that there is an issue with using the GUI for the IBM Installation Manager with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3

It has been driving both Stuart and I bonkers .. after a lot of digging here is what you need to get it to work :

Sorry for the radio silence ….
Wed, Apr 3rd 2013 6:12a Sharon Bellamy I want to apologise for my lack of blogging and tweeting – there has been a lot of ups and downs in my personal life over the last 10 months, serious injury which is still not totally resolved and a bunch of other things that have contributed to not only my lack of blogging – but has stopped me attending and speaking at LUGs.
I would like to think that I may be over the worst of it – I had a fantastic holiday with my daughter Emily in Feb 2013 to Disney World, I am working with [read] Keywords: connections

Wed, Dec 12th 2012 11:15a Sharon Bellamy After months of planning, much panicking by certain members of the SOCCNX team and a small amount of winging it – the 4th Social Connections User Group for IBM Connections Users hit Amsterdam on the 30th of November 2012.

Returning user login issues – fun with the connections databases
Mon, May 14th 2012 7:12a Sharon Bellamy I recently had an issue with a user having issues logging in to certain applications.
The user could log in to some apps but recieved an error on others – for instance profiles, activities, communities and forums the user was fine.
Each applications database holds information regarding the user login and their external / directory / guid id – this guid is unique to the user – I found after extensive investigation that this user had orphaned entries in the other application DB t [read] Keywords: connections
