 Vladislavs Tatarincevs | Vladislav Tatarincev 3 July 2023 15:00:03We all know that Domino applications run company business.
Our solution https://www.cyone.eu/CYMON can monitor Domino platform (Domino servers, performance, security, Traveler, HTTP and many more).
Out of the box our solution can also monitor Domino applications, agents, interfaces.
In this short webinar we describe how to create a common view on health of important Domino applications.
Monitoring applications and servers with professional software, saves a lot of time for admins and developers. As well it makes apps more trusted and more available to business users. No need to jump over hundreds of Log files to check if it is ok.
Webinar is short, only 30 min, but I am sure it will help to build solid and trusted monitoring not only Domino but also Applications. There is also FREE version of Monitoring for Mail servers.

Colleague of mine suggested my a site Mail-tester.com. idea is simple, you sent a mail and gives you score how to improve. long story short, after some time we improved from 6 to 10 from maximum 10 possible. Free version allow 4 mails per day which might be sufficient if you dont do too many changes per day. If you have bad score picture is different with some sharks... :) This tool shows report, why you get bad score. by antispam rules, images MUST have a ALT text. So lesson learned, if you have signatures and company logo, dont forget to add ALT text, this will improve your score.   Vladislav Tatarincev 24 May 2022 09:28:15As mentioned in previous post, HCL has published technote about 12.0.1 and 12.0.1 HCL Domino server keeps crashing due to memory corruption with an error "Panic Invalid pool free chain" after upgrade to 12.0.1 or 12.0.1FP1
https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0098671 Cause Once the debug parameter debug_checkmarkers=1 is enabled on server, the server crashes with an error "PANIC: CheckMarkers: Memory following object has been destroyed" as soon as memory corruption is detected. While reviewing logs, The call stacks in NSD indicate a network buffer has been written past it's boundary. Resolution There's a change in HCL Domino v12, where we increased the network buffer size from a default of 4000 to 8000 as we noticed some network operations need additional memory. Increasing network buffer further from 8000 to 8100 by making below change in server's notes.ini file, the server stops crashing and gets stable. TCPIP=TCP,0,15,0,,12320 to TCPIP=TCP,0,15,8100,,12320 And adding below parameter too debug_net_max_buffer_size=8100 Vladislav Tatarincev 20 May 2022 13:51:36As you know, in Domino 12, network buffer is increased from 4000 to 8000 bytes. https://help.hcltechsw.com/domino/12.0.0/admin/wn_tcpipportbuffer.html Few of my large clients recently performed upgrade from 11.x to 12.0.1FP1 and we got crashes. Crashes were bad, because in one case both clustered server were down. To mitigate we changed Transactional Log style/type to Favour Recovery, so DOmino is up faster after crash. We opened case in Support and we got recommendation to set optional parameter for network larger than 8000. I am publishing call stack, in case you face same issue, you know what to do. HCL will soon publish technote on this. change TCPIP=TCP,0,15,0,,12320
to
TCPIP=TCP,0,15,8100,,12320
and also add the line

Error message pointed to very low TCPIP level. and today my colleagues Stanislav Schvachko has found, that issue is finally resolved (actually 8 month ago, but only 70 as of today) Just enable Notes.ini parameter Network_Resiliency=0 , that will disable new V12 feature Network Resilence feature is v11 functionality, so upon timeout client is not frozen. https://help.hcltechsw.com/notes/11.0.0/otherenhancements_notes11.html Seems that in V12 this resilence feature was improved, but with some side effects. Here is a link to full technote. HCL Notes 12 on Mac cannot connect to the server over VPN https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0092536 Vladislav Tatarincev 17 March 2022 12:34:33One of my customers noticed that when they join meeting, URL or Online meeting is LowerCased. as result also password is lowercased and people fail to join. I opened ticked and very fast HCL did changes to template https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0097354 The following Technotes/SPRs are addressed SPR # SVAIC44HYC >> When a user replies or forwards a message, the 'message replied/forward to' arrow is not displayed in the view/folder column. SPR # SAHNCAUBHJ >> When a user creates a new meeting with Webex, the user sees a second meeting entry in the Notes calendar. This happens when the user's Webex user name/mail address is the same as that of Notes. SPR # SANECAUH5J >> Notes rescheduled meetings do not reflect in Webex or Zoom meeting on DOMI. SPR # JPKRC5KT3Y >> "Error loading USE or USELSX module: domiListsCollectionsError" when opening new mail12.ntf with older client. SPR # ASATC48JKC >> In Notes V12 mail template, hotspot 'Join' beside the location launches the URL link in lowercase. URL parameter, which contains for example the meeting id, are case sensitive, resulting to a meeting that could not be joined. Vladislav Tatarincev 13 October 2020 08:22:10I did Domino Administration training last week and did it online/remotelly which was new experience for me. Course name is Domino ADVANCED training, so students learn real life stuff, and not only basic, but also Advanced things like Verse on Prem, Clusters, Traveler, V10/v11 Upgrade, Performance Tuning. Www.cyone.eu/Training explains it in more details. When we worked with Message Tracking , and one students asked if he can create custom reports. I do remember that IBM Technote existed that described how to access mtdata.nsf with LotusScript. I was unable to find this technote, since IBM removed this from knowledge base. I opened case with HCL and they pointed me to right article in Domino Wiki. https://ds-infolib.hcltechsw.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/Reading_the_MTSTORE_Database To avoid performance issues , I do suggest to archive MTDATA.nsf, and in script depending on search range access only one database, or/and archive. Hope it helps.
