The document provides an agenda for a presentation on IBM XPages for Bluemix. Some key points: - IBM XPages runtime is now available on Bluemix as an experimental feature, allowing developers to build and run XPages apps on Bluemix bound to Domino or other data. - The presentation will include demos of XPages apps running on Bluemix and interacting with Domino databases, as well as using other Bluemix services. - Architecturally, XPages apps running on Bluemix can access both cloud and on-premises Domino data, providing a hybrid cloud model. - Questions from attendees on debugging XPages apps on Bluemix, available Bluemix platform options, and

6. IBM XPages for Bluemix goes Beta !
Beta released on January 21st
• Build/Manage/Run XPages Apps on Bluemix bound to:
• Domino data on-cloud or on-premises
• RDBMS data, e.g. IBM DB2 on Cloud
• NoSQL Databases, e.g. IBM Cloudant
• Cognitive Services, e.g. one or more Watson offering
• Let’s take it for a ride !

7. Bluemix - A Quick Demo Primer
Runtimes
A set of resources used to run your applications.
We demonstrate an XPages runtime for Domino (sometimes referred to as a Buildpack).
Other popular runtimes are Node.js, Liberty for Java, Ruby, PHP etc.
Services
Services are add-ons that can be provisioned alongside your application.
A service broker component advertises catalogs of managed services such as databases, key-
value stores etc.
We show the XPages runtime working Domino, Connections Cloud & various Bluemix services.
Boilerplates
A container for an application and its associated runtime environment and predefined services.
e.g. a ready-to-go XPages ToDo application connecting to a Domino data server.

8. Bluemix - A Quick Demo Primer
IBM Bluemix – Platform as a Service (PaaS)
 Bluemix applications are loosely-coupled
 App instances load in a runtime container and bind to services.
 The need for design and data separation is fundamental to the platform
 Some sample runtime and services combinations:

IBM XPages & Domino for Bluemix

10. A Look Under The Hood
Main Use Case
XPages Apps bound to Domino data
• A Tale of Two NSFs
• 1 Design NSF with your XPages, CSS, JS code
• 1 Data NSF with your data
• Separation of Design and Data
• XPages sees docs and views via data sources

11. A Look Under The Hood
XPages Domino Data Sources
• Data can be in the same NSF
• In another NSF on the same server
• In another NSF on another Domino server
• Data source properties are computable

12. A Look Under The Hood
XPages Bluemix apps can access Domino data anywhere
• By configuring the data sources accordingly
• Using tried and trusted Domino security model
SSJS code dynamically
locates Domino database

13. A Look Under The Hood
The XPages Web Starter App = Great Sample
• Create an instance of the app (see Boilerplates)
• Download the starter code
• Explore app in Domino Designer
• E.g. For findDbUtil() see todoUtils Script Library
• Observe how the SSJS code uses new XPages runtime features
• E.g. the bluemixContext class …

14. A Look Under The Hood
Write Once Run Anywhere…
• XPages runtime features + Domino platform capabilities
Same apps can run seamlessly both on cloud and on-premises
Proof Points
• We4IT produced a Bluemix version of Aveedo in less than 1 day

19. Supporting the XPages Hybrid Cloud Model
Integrating XPages Bluemix apps with your Domino enterprise data
• Runtime uses industry tried and trusted Domino security model
• Stands up XPages Bluemix apps with certified IDs issued and trusted by your organization
• Establishes a connection to hybrid Domino data server using highly secure NRPC protocol
• Domino Designer has hybrid integration tools
• Specifying hybrid data connection info
• Signing apps
• Pushing IDs

20. XPages Bluemix Hybrid Deployment
20
To run your own application container in Bluemix
• Create a new server id for your Bluemix applications
• or use existing server id
• Push the server id along with your Bluemix
application using Domino Designer
• Optionally configure your app to use Domino
directory assistance

21. Hybrid Security Summary
In Bluemix, the XPages runtime runs on an optimized Domino application server
 The runtime server is hosted in a secure single-tenant container
Neither the container nor the server is shared with other Bluemix customers
It is dedicated solely to your Bluemix application
 The runtime server acts just like a Notes client, i.e.
It connects to a Domino data server over a NRPC connection
i.e. to retrieve data and leverage Domino directory services
The NRPC intra-server connection is set up to be encrypted
The runtime server uses a server id issued by your organization
The runtime server must be trusted by the Domino data server
