One of the head Webmaster of DominoArea, Stéphane Maillard, died last night. He was a great contributor to the French Notes community mostly in Europe.

It is a very sad news.

He left this world for joining his beloved who died suddenly in last august...

Do you monitor your server's task (Ex: Compact)?

One of our clients is in a process of implemeting an archiving solution for Domino (Symantec Enterprise Vault). We are on a pilot (20 users). I was doing some checking of their servers after the first weekend of archiving. From a post of David Killingsworth ( Link ), I told to my self, lets see how long it takes to run compact.

From what i've heard, this task had never been monitored. In fact, it was running for almost 72 hours in a row!!! It was running on dbs that were transaction logged. So many DBIID were changed right after the full backup. What a mess!

With a few tweaking and adjustment to the schedule, it went down to just under 5 hours, just before the full backup.

So let's go, do some monitoring!

You could use this tool the search for the start date\end date of your tasks

How can a client avoid being affected by a Domino server hang?

Link

When a Domino server hangs, or is unresponsive to a client request, the Lotus Notes client may not fail over to another server in the cluster. The client will also appear hung with a "lightening bar" in the lower left corner of the screen. This can happen when the Domino server is accepting TCPIP requests from clients but is unable to process the request. If the Domino server system responds to the client request, the client will NOT attempt failover to the Domino Cluster server.

Reconsidering physical key secrecy: teleduplication via optical decoding

Researchers from the University of San Diego (Benjamin Laxton, Kai Wang and Stefan Savage) developed Sneakey, a system that correctly decoded keys from an image that was taken from the rooftop of a four floor building. In this case the image was taken from 195 feet. This demonstration shows that a motivated attacker can covertly steal a victim's keys without fear of detection.

Technique : Anti-virus and Symantec Enterprise Vault

Hi,

I'm currently working on the implementation of an archiving solution for our Domino based emails system and our Files System (FSA). The solution is based on Symantec Enterprise Vault. (http://www.symantec.com/fr/fr/business/enterprise-vault)

It's a big system ($$$$$$$).For the Domino side, we had a lot of difficulties due mainly to performance. We were able to archive but we were unable to preview the document. No an ideal solution for our users! The message was "Network operation did not complete in a reasonable amount of time; please retry".

We found out that it was related to our anti-virus . It's based on Mcafee Groupshield. But from our research, we can say that it's not a vendor's problem.

Anyway, we've disabled all the Anti-virus processes from the Domino server. As we've seen , It was working great, it was very fast!!!
Came back to the config of Groupshield to find out that some settings were doing real-time scanning.

So a good recommandation for Domino is to disable any real-time tasks for the Gateway Domino server when you have an archiving system like Enterprise Vault.

For the File system side, we still have an issue with performance...still trying to find out what's happening...cause it's actually a show stopper!!

What happens when someone replace the design of the NAB with a PAB?

A very big week!!!! Someone manage to replace the design of the public address book with a personal address book. What a nightmare!!!!

The biggest problem was with the routing. By chance, our users were still able to connect to our servers.

Note to myself : Remove the manager access of that person :-)
