After you install the suite, you can find translated text versions of the suite license agreement in directory ibmnt\license.
If you receive a message that a shortcut to an HTML file cannot be found, for example a message similar to the following:
"cannot find 'C:\<filename>\INDEX.HTML' (or config file) file.
Click OK to proceed. Even though the message displays, the requested HTML file displays. To avoid getting this message, you can change the name of the program that opens the HTML shortcut file.
The following hints and tips relate to DB2 UDB.
You cannot install the DB2 Clients (Administration and Run-Time) on the same machine.
The DB2 UDB Extenders are automatically installed when you install DB2 UDB. They are not installed when you use the installation program to install the DB2 clients (Administration and Run-Time). You can also install the Extenders when you install DB2 using IIP and CD number 2.
If you receive a message referring to a binding error when trying to access DB2 UDB from a machine where DB2 Run-Time Client is installed, complete the following steps on the client machine:
After you install DB2, you have access to the following information from the DB2 For Windows NT entry:
To access two of the DB2 Extenders documentation files, correct the shortcut definitions by doing the following:
You should now be able to access the documents.
The following hints and tips relate to Lotus Domino.
When providing information for the Domino server configuration, keep in mind that special characters and blanks are not supported in the administrator first and last name fields.
If you install the administrator's desktop on the same machine as the Domino server, you cannot open the Mail folder using the normal shortcuts. To open the administrator's mail on the server machine, open the Notes desktop by selecting the database icon on the left hand side and select Workspace. You can then access the mail database.
During the configuration of Domino, if you give the domain the same name as your machine name, you may receive a "failure to authenticate" error message. You can ignore this message. Enter the Domino server administrator's user ID and password as requested.
When you install the WebSphere Application Server and select IBM HTTP Server to be the web server, it is configured as a web server on port 8080 or the next available port number.
The following hints and tips relate to the IBM Integrated Installation Pack (IIP).
If you receive an invalid path name message or a message that the system tried to remember a previous device when running install.exe, a persistent device was not connected at log on and the system listed that device as the first available disk device. To correct this error, disconnect from any persistent shared drive that did not get connected.
If you receive invalid path name messages (references to magic.iip) when starting the IIP Image Builder, one of the following errors may have occurred:
Check to see if any of these conditions exist, correct if possible, and then retry.
When you are using the Image Builder subcomponent of IIP, it may take longer or shorter than indicated to copy the files, or the status indicator may not appear at all for some components.
When using the Control Center subcomponent, the status indicator for software you are installing may change from Not Installed to Installed without indicating intermediate progress.
In some cases, the Image Builder subcomponent of IIP may prompt for the same CD more than once. This multiple prompt for the same CD occurs if the profile you created includes products or components that reside on the same CD. For example, if you define a single profile to install DB2 UDB and the DB2 Run-Time Client, the Image Builder will prompt twice for the DB2 CD.
For machines on which you will install software using IIP, it is recommended that you set the energy saving features of the monitor so that Windows does not shut off the monitor, or allow the monitor to go into low-power standby.
When you run an IIP remote install with a profile that was defined to include multiple server and client applications, you may see install failure messages. This may be caused by a high traffic load or congestion in the network. You can find detailed messages in the application install logs.
If you use IIP to install FAXport, DB2 Administration client, and DB2 Extenders on a machine where these components are already installed, the installation fails. Remove the components and run IIP again.
If you get an error message stating that the MFC42.dll file is missing when running the Profiler for IIP, do the following:
If you create a profile and the image to install DB2 Administration client and then create a new profile to install DB2 UDB, you will not be asked to create a new image and the install will fail. To create the image for DB2 UDB, delete the udb directory from the Sectool\images\ibmsbs directory before starting the Image Builder for the profile containing DB2 UDB.
If you plan to install Lotus SmartSuite using IIP, ensure that a minimum of 200 MB of hard disk space is available on the hard drive partition where Windows is installed.
If you receive a message that the target install drive does not have enough disk space or may be compressed, it may be that the partition is greater than 4 GB. SmartSuite install does not recognize a partition greater than 4 GB. Click Yes to continue.
If you use IIP to install the FAXport component, you must update the FAXport phone book address properties after the installation completes. To update these properties, do the following:
After installing Lotus Domino server and LANSource FAXport and WINport using either custom install or the Solution Templates install, you need to consider the following configuration information.
The suite adds the FAXport Users to the Domino server. If you are installing via the Solution Templates, the suite also adds the IBM Small Business Suite Editors group to the Domino server. To add new users, use the Windows User Manager and ensure that the Notes Synchronization Option is enabled. For detailed instructions on adding Lotus Notes users to groups, see the Lotus Domino documentation.
For configuration information for LANSource FAXport/WINport, see the server.pdf file located on the machine where you installed LANSource FAXport. For example:
e:\FAXport\Language\<xxx>\server.pdf
(where e: is the drive where FAXport was installed and <xxx> indicates the language code for the version of the software you are installing.
Complete the following steps for both custom install and Solution Templates install:
To configure the FAXport client machine, do the following:
The following hints and tips relate to the LANSource FAXport and WINport components.
Before you install LANSource FAXport and WINport, read the information on setup and configuration in the LANSource documentation. This information is located on CD number 6 in the \faxport\language\<xxx>\ directory, where <xxx> indicates the language code.
After you install WINport and FAXport, you have access to the online help from the following program entries:
The organization of this help information follows the sequence of the tasks you need to accomplish. You can also access online help by selecting Help from any dialog box.
The section titled Configure the RASport Server in Chapter 4 of the suite Getting Started manual is not needed for this release of the suite. You can ignore this section.
If you install all of the suite server components using Custom Install or install Solution Templates, you may receive a message that the LANSource Server service failure to start. If you check this service (by selecting Start, Settings, Control Panel, Services), the service is started. You can ignore this message.
When adding new users in the Windows NT domain and synchronizing those IDs to the Lotus Domino server, you need to click Add after selecting the groups or group memberships for which the new user will be a member. These steps are documented in the suite Getting Started manual, in the Post Installation and Configuration Hints and Tips chapter.
LANSource FAXport is not supported through the Web interface to Lotus Notes.
LANSource FAXport/WINport supports faxing of the following Lotus SmartSuite Millennium files types as Notes mail attachments:
In addition, you can fax Lotus Organizer entries by doing the following:
See the FAXport for Lotus Notes Getting Started Guide provided with this suite for additional information.
The following hints and tips relate to the Solution Templates.
Before installing the Solution Templates, stop the FTP Publishing and World Wide Web Publishing Services by selecting Start, Settings, Control Panel, Services. Select the service and click Stop.
Notes:
To migrate the Solution Templates from IBM Small Business Suite Version 1.1 to IBM Small Business Suite Version 1.5, do the following:
On the server machine:
xcopy ibmnt\FxptTmp\Server\*.* Faxport\Server /s
The suite installation program saved the FAXport users data in ibmnt\FxptTmp\Server directory.
On the client machine:
If you select Solution Templates install, a DOS window with corrupted characters might appear after DB2 installs. The window closes after a few minutes.
You can access the Solution Templates from the following interfaces:
After you install the Solution Templates and access the home page (Start, Programs, IBM Small Business Suite, Solution Templates, IBM Small Business Suite Home Page), an error message may appear similar to the following:
Cannot find C:\lotus\domino\startup.htm (or one of its component)
You can ignore this message. Click OK and the log in process continues.
The Directory Template sample database is built on the DB2 sample database. Any data you enter must conform to the English version of this sample database. For example, when you open the Directory Template on the Lotus Domino server and select to Add a New Contact, the Job Title field is limited to eight characters. You can enter more than eight characters, but when you save and close the field, only the first eight characters are saved. For more information, see the DB2 UDB documentation.
If you receive the following message when you attempt to update the History Summary for a contact, click OK and the update will complete normally.
"RunOnServer must be used with a remote database"
The message only appears when running the Directory application from the Lotus Notes client on the Domino server machine. The message will not appear when running the Directory application from a Lotus Notes client installed on another computer.
To avoid getting this message, you can do the following:
To add users to access the Solution Templates via a Web browser, do the following:
You can use the Notes client on the server (use shortcut in IBM Small Business Suite folder) to verify that the users have been added to Domino. If the user names do not appear in a few minutes after they are added in Windows NT User Manager for Domains, enter the following command in the Domino server command window:
l updall names.nsf -r
After you install the Solution Templates, select Start, Programs, IBM Suite for Windows NT, IBM Solution Templates, Lotus Notes. Click the Databases icon, and then click the Notes Documentation tab to access the following information:
These instructions are incomplete in the suite Getting Started manual.
If you need to reinstall the Solution Templates after uninstalling them, you must first remove all DB2 directories and the Domino directory that remain on the drive where the templates were installed.
Easy SiteArchitek is a Domino application. It consists of a predefined internet site template consisting of two Domino databases, Site and Content.
The Content database is an end-user application dedicated to help manage a web site's content. It includes several powerful, easy to use publishing features:
The Site database is used by the server administrator to customize the web site. Customizing the site requires no specific technical skills. The following functions are provided:
| Note: | The Easy SiteArchitek database is for administrators only and can only be accessed with the administrator's workstation on the server. When placing an image into a document, place the image in the document's body. (You cannot use the Image option on the New document template.) |
Hit Reporter is integrated into the Easy SiteArchitek sample web site. Hit Reporter is a powerful statistic tool for tracking web visits. The Hit Reporter uses the power of Domino, DB2 and WebSphere to gather data from which comprehensive site visit reports can be produced.
When using Hit Reporter to obtain count reports, adhere to the following rules when entering search arguments:
For more information, see the Easy SiteArchitek documentation provided with the samples.
When you select the Open home page with your browser option after clicking Home Page within the Easy SiteArchitek database, you need to add the name of your machine at the beginning of the path in the browser. For example:
http://xxxxx/peritek/easysitearchitek.nsf
where xxxxx is your machine name.
If you select the Visit Now link located in the Lotus France Web site page within the Easy SiteArchitek Content database and the page does not open, remove everything after fr\ from the path statement. The page should open at this time.
This section defines national language considerations for the suite components.
If you experience problems when installing the DB2 Client or Lotus Notes on a Japanese Windows 98 or Simplified Chinese Window 98 machine through the Custom Install option, install these components directly from CD number 2 or CD number 3.
SmartSuite for Simplified Chinese and SuperOffice for Japanese are not supported.
If you use the Simplified Chinese (CHS) version of Netscape Navigator 4.51, you may find the fonts too small for productive use. To correct this problem, you can do one of the following:
In some cases, when you install Netscape Communicator on DBCS language versions of the Windows NT operating system, the installation may stop or hang during the installation of the RealPlayer component. If this occurs, cancel the suite installation, uninstall Netscape Communicator using Add/Remove Programs, and reinstall Netscape Communicator. When the Netscape Setup Type window appears, select Custom and then click Next. On the Netscape Communicator 4.51 Options window, deselect the RealPlayer 5.0 component. Click Next and then proceed normally through the remaining installation panels.
Because the Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system is not translated into Italian and the IBM Integrated Installation Pack uses some of the system buttons and prompts, you may see buttons in both English and Italian when using this component.
If you install the Solution Templates on a Traditional Chinese machine and plan to access the templates using a web browser, we recommend that you use Microsoft Internet Explorer. You may experience errors when displaying the templates using Netscape.
When you install the Solutions Templates on a Japanese machine and access the Easy SiteArchitek database, you can enter up to 17 DBCS characters for the chapter titles under the Customer or Products selections. If you enter more than the allowed number of characters in this field and then attempt to open the page using a web browser, a blank page displays with the following error message:
JavaScript error: Type 'javascript:' into location for details.
If you install Lotus Domino using Custom Install or install the Solutions Templates on a Simplified Chinese, Japanese, or Korean machine, you will see options incorrectly displayed when viewing mail. To correct the display fonts, edit the notes.ini file and change the following line from:
DominoNoFace=Helv
to:
DominoNoFace=<Localized FontName>
where <Localized FontName> is the name of a local country font available on this machine.
After installing Lotus Domino and Lotus Notes, the Views list and the Calendar view in the user's mail box may appear in a different language when viewed from a web browser. In addition, the template language may be mixed with some English text. To work around this problem, add the following parameter to the NOTES.INI file:
DominoResLang=CountryCode
where CountryCode is one of the language abbreviations: Fr for France, Es for Spain, and so on.
