Sametime Video Chat Widget for Connections – Supposedly it still works in V4


My current client had this implemented in their V 3.x environment and we asked IBM if it will still work in V4 …. supposedly it does.

I am implementing it now but there are some inconsistencies with the ST server so I will have to dig through the ST logs and God only knows what else to make it work. Not sure if IBM is working on a version that is “more compatible” (it ain’t English but I have no better way of saying this) to Connections  V4.x, but I hope they are. This one is not very pretty to look at when it is added to a community at it’s current build.

 

I will keep y’all updated on the progress.

IBM Sametime Meetings Statistics Utility – installed!


Marlon Machado of IBM posted this entry below  a while ago and we installed it here at a client. It is really painless and works right out of the box without having to jump through hoops or juggle knives while standing on one leg. Give it a try!

We’re proud to announce availability of the new IBM Sametime Meetings Statistics Utility.

The IBM Sametime Meetings Statistics Utility is a server-side enterprise application that is installed on an IBM Sametime Meetings Server. The application samples values for total rooms, active rooms, unused rooms, active users, library count, and library size once a minute and stores the values in a new database table. The application also provides the ability to generate HTML reports based on these values grouped by various time periods (hour, day, month, year).

This is a technology preview for IBM Sametime Meetings version 8.5.2 IFR 1. It is available for download free of charge at IBM developerWorks (here).

Connections 3.0.1.1 and Sametime Proxy Server 8.5.2 IFR1 fix OBEN-8SDLGS – RECALLED


I just got a mail from IBM support on the Sametime Proxy Server 8.5.2 IFR1 fix OBEN-8SDLGS that is mandatory for awareness between Connections 3.0.1 FP1 and Sametime.  It appears this HF was recalled (not sure what he exact problem is) which explains why I have not been able to get awareness to work with Connections 3.0.1.1 – no mater what I do.

That there is no updated, specific documentation for Connections 3.0.1.1 and ST awareness is not a good sign either but that is why I opened a PMR with IBM when I could just not get awareness to work correctly – and here I am a week later and still nothing to show for my efforts .

I will blog again once I hear back from IBM and a new ST HF is released.

if you are running Sametime 8 … It is time to take a look and verify that you have this patch installed.

Sametime Install end-to-end


I normally try to avoid just re-posting stuff I see in other blogs but this one merits allot of attention: The Sametime blog has a recent post that points to a really great session on how to install Sametime 8.5.1 front-to-end … and it’s long – 277 slides!! Looking at all them will take a while but it is worth the time spent.
