Implementing Cluster Replication From Domino to Darwino 

By Jesse Gallagher | 3/19/19 10:30 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

Since its inception, Darwino has had two-way replication between it and Domino, and it's evolved over the years in fidelity and configurability. Recently, I was able to check an item off the to-do list that I've wanted for a while: "cluster-style" replication from Domino, where a document change immediately kicks off replication to Darwino.

Over the years, initially thanks to Peter Tanner's diligent work as the OpenNTF IP Manager and now my own occupation of that seat, I've learned to really appreciate the virtues of dotting your "i"s and crossing your "t"s when it comes to making an open-source project legally clean and clear.

Preventing “Build Automatically” Via Policy 

By Paul Withers | 3/13/19 10:06 AM | App Dev - XPages | Added by John Oldenburger

As one of the first steps in XPages training I cover making configuration and settings changes to Domino Designer to optimise your experience. One of those is switching off Build Automatically. Unless your day-to-day ID only has Editor or below access to applications, sooner or later having Build Automatically enabled will cause problems.

Watson Workspace Obituary 

By Paul Withers | 3/4/19 8:23 PM | App Dev - Cognitive | Added by Oliver Busse

This week marks the passing of Watson Workspace, one of the few major innovations in the ICS space of the last decade.

It may be gone for good, but for me it did a lot of good.
