We all know that "knowledge is power", but how realistic is aiming for transparency in our own IT environments? The interaction between clients, servers, applications and users is often difficult to analyze, much less quantify. Come join Daniel Reimann to take a look at the history of your infrastructure and prepare you for future projects such as consolidations or infrastructure additions (e.g. IBM Connections). We will show you how and why you should be looking at your infrastructure as a whole, rather than individual technology silos. Find out where the hidden challenges of your IBM Notes/Domino environment are, what impact they have on your network and how you can fix it! A bolt of lightning for your DeLore...erm...infrastructure!
Come to this session to get an update about everything related to OpenNTF, the open source community for IBM Collaboration Solutions.
See the contest winning XPages projects live and learn about the new open source projects for IBM Connections.
The session will also cover the IBM Social Business Toolkit SDK which allows XPages, Java and JavaScript developers to easily access IBM Connections and IBM SmartCloud for Social Business from custom applications. Attend this session to see demos of the latest functionality and new samples of the toolkit.
Using XPages out of the box lets you build good looking and well performing applications. However, as XPage applications become bigger and more complex, performance can become an issue and, if it comes to scalability and speed optimization, there are a couple of things to take into consideration. Learn how to use partial refresh and partial execution mode and how to monitor its execution using a JSF LifeCycle monitor to avoid multiple re-calculation of controls. We will show tools that can allow you to profile your code, readily available from OpenNTF, along with a demonstration of how to use them to improve the speed of your code. Still writing SSJS and encounter a significant slow down when using Script Libraries? See, how you can improve the speed of your application using JAVA instead of JS, JSON and even @formulas.

Title: Notes/Domino Licensing: Understand and Optimize DLAU results with panagenda solutions
Abstract:
panagenda is renowned for its robust and tested solutions designed to enhance and manage the Notes Client. Our offerings extend to proactively monitoring Domino infrastructures and analyzing the Domino-based application landscape. This includes comprehensive assessments of application inventory, usage, design similarities, and content. In this engaging session, we aim to illuminate a different aspect – the HCL Notes/Domino Licenses.
The community has been buzzing with excitement about HCL's new streamlined licensing model for Notes/Domino. As many of you are aware, HCL provides a tool called DLAU, which is crucial for determining the licenses associated with your Notes/Domino infrastructure. During our sponsored session, we will delve into how our two flagship panagenda products, iDNA for Applications (IFA) and Security Insider (SI), can play a pivotal role in comprehending, validating, and optimizing the results obtained through DLAU. Join us to discover how these tools can empower you in navigating the complexities of HCL Notes/Domino licensing.

It's always been a dilemma -- do you invest in servers, licenses and people to set up and maintain a fully controllable SharePoint infrastructure in-house, or is it time to explore hosting SharePoint off-premise? Legal IT professionals have been struggling with this decision for years.
The on-premise option offers peace of mind from a security and controllability standpoint, but comes saddled with high costs, a demand for resources and limited scalability. SharePoint Online, on the other hand, alleviates the burden associated with SharePoint on-premise by removing the need for servers, software licenses and personnel, and can be rolled out to a large pool of people virtually overnight. However, you'll still need support for integration projects. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of each option and give you recommendations based on our experiences, deployments and feedback.

Microsoft Office 365 is unlike any other SaaS application and, even with careful planning, it’s fair to say that deployments don’t always go as planned. Office 365 was designed to be accessed directly via the internet, and most companies just don’t have the proper network setup. It’s no surprise, then, that deploying Office 365 without the right planning and guidance can lead to network problems and a poor user experience.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Back to the Future: Understand and Optimize your IBM Notes and Domino Infrastructure, #dd13
1. Back to the future
Understand and Optimize your IBM Notes/Domino infrastructure
Daniel Reimann
2. Introduction
• The goal: Thinking about going to the cloud, implementing Connections,
migrating, consolidating or growing your environment?
– Crucial data lives in various places in your IT infrastructure
– Doing any of the above projects requires you to look at this data in a “big picture”
view
• The challenge: How do you connect the various information silos?
– Knowledge is spread out in the environment in numerous repositories on several
servers
– In many situations, companies aren't even aware of the information available to them
• How we can help: Going to back to the future to move forward
– Find out how your environment looks today and get surprising results
– Use these gathered results to solve existing issues and be well prepared for
implementing or connecting new services and optimizing or extending your
infrastructure

Editor's Notes
When performing the data collection, the DNA collector will populate itself by taking server documents from the Domino Directories. By default the directory is taken from the homeserver of the user-id that performs the collector, but the customer is free to add more server documents from additional directories.
With a populated collector database, each server will be verified for connectivity and sufficient access to log files. In case the Notes client cannot reach certain servers, the customer may decide to place them out of scope.
Another reason for placing servers out of scope may be to discard activity on servers in the development and test environment.
DNA will always attempt to collect 7 days worth of log data from the servers in scope. In the event that a server log does not contain 7 days of data, or when the server log has been removed and recreated after e.g. a crash, the collector will be unable to collect data that is missing.
This slide summarizes the optimization potential as it is observed within the customer environment today.
Each topic described here, will be explained in more detail within the remaining slides of this presentation.
In this benchmark, DNA calcules the number of active users as a percentage of the number of person documents registered in the Domino directories of the customer.
User are considered active as soon as the user has had at least one user session towards one of the servers in scope, with a rich client, during the 7 days of analysis. Web users are not included in this DNA analysis.
Purpose of this slide:
If the result is low this could indicate that only a small number of servers have been placed in scope for this analysis. When all servers were included, a low score might indicate that the directories containt person documents that are no longer in use.
This benchmark looks at the amount of time notes clients spent online with the Domino servers. The analysis is split up into two measures:
1. total time online during the 7 day period, expressed in hours;
2. average session duration expressed in minutes;
Average session duration has a negative correlation with network bandwidth consumption. The longer an average session lasts, the lower the network consumption. High session duration may indicate performance issues in the network or at the servers.
Notice that with the customer on the right, each user had sessions open to separate mail and application servers. This is why the customer scored a total online time of more than 40 hours.
Usually, we see that customer who deploy local mail file replicas (where users do not work on server but on their local replica) score significantly lower in session duration, and at higher network bandwidth consumption.
This benchmark shows the total number of documents read and written in the 7 day period that was analyzed.
Note that user activity can be caused in several ways:
user clicking on desktop icon and workin interactively on the server;
user’s workstation starts replicating local databases with a server;
workstation checks for new mail;
Scheduled Notes agent on a desktop starts interacting with server(s).
All these actions result in user sessions that are logged in the log.nsf.
It is not easy to draw conclusions from this analysis, other than that the current customer under investigation is relatively heavier or lighter than the DNA average.
Also, be aware that system-type accounts that are defined in a person document, are considered in this analysis. Especially fax workstations and rdbms connectors may impact the outcome of this analysis significantly.
This benchmark compares the network bandwidth consumption. Two measures are shown for end users connecting to Domino servers. One measure shows the network traffic from desktops towards servers, the other shows the opposite direction. Bandwidth consumption is expressed in kilobits per second.
Low scores may indicate performance issues either in the network, or at the servers. While high scores may prove high performance, it can also indicate excessive use patterns due to misconfiguration of the desktops. As an example, consider desktops that have a local mail file replica, while the end user keeps working online on the server. This results in double the amount of traffic and higher bandwidth levels.
Lotus offers network compression that reduce the network traffic significantly. This is analyzed too by DNA.
Another method to profile end user demand (user segmentation) is by taking a look at the distinct number of working hours per day that users show active on the server park. This analysis does not show the working hours of end users, but observes how many distinct hours the user showed activity, on average per day.
As an example: remote non-office workers (e.g. salesmen visiting customers all day) typically replicate with their home server in the morning (1 hour observed), go on the road all day and replicate again in the evening (another hour observed).
Many system accounts (monitoring workstations, fax machines operating with notes) show activity up to 24x7.
This chart expresses the percentage of the total number of active users in each category.
This analysis presents an overview of the overall user demand characteristics. Total demand is expressed in 6 columns, with each column representing 100% of that type of demand scored during the week of analysis.
Each column is then split up into various types of demand:
Checks for new mail shows Notes clients checking for new mail;
System dbs represents access to system databases;
Mail files: access to end user mail files;
Directories: access to Domino Directories;
Applications: access to application databases*
Application databases are identified as follows:
Of all databases inventoried, DNA substracts mail and mailin files, ‘known’ system databases and domino directories. What remains is a set of databases that are considered applications. Although this is not a 100% accurate method, it does provide a solid understanding of the types of user demand.
This analysis is revealing how end users make use of Notes databases, in terms of network traffic. Every bubble on this chart represents a database.
Databases have different colors, indicating the type of database. The size of each bubble is defined by the distinct number of end users that showed activity during the 7 day period that was analyzed. The horizontal and vertical distribution of bubbles reflect the amount of network traffic (bytes read and written towards each database, logarithmic scale).
Databases in the lower left corner are the most light in terms of network consumption, while databases in the upper right hand are the most network intensive.
While this analysis presents up to 10,000 most used databases, the underlaying factsheet does contain all databases that have been touched.
Trust Factory is offering an optional cluster plotter component that enables customers to generate a wide variety of angles in analyzing database utilization.
A significant optimization potential can be found by analyzing user accounts that show excessive demand patterns. Often, we see that very few user accounts consume one third or more of the total network and server capacity.
DNA is able to classify user accounts by means of comparing their individual behavior with the organization average. While the underlaying algorhitm is rather complex, it basically comes down to the following classification:
Light: below or on average with the overall average;
Moderate: causing a load that is 10 - 100 times more than the average;
Intensive: causing a load that is 100 – 1,000 times more heavy than average;
Extreme: causing a load that is more than 1,000 times more heavy.
For each class of user account, this chart shows their impact on the total user demand caused in the 7 days analyzed. This total demand is expressed in 6 measures. The numbers behind the legend indicate the number of users in that class.
Details for the 10 most heavy accounts are given in the next slide.
This analysis shows the demand caused by the 10 most heavy user accounts, during the 7 day period of analysis. The heaviest account is shown on top.
With the DNA factsheet, the customer can identify in detail which servers and databases were touched by these heavy user accounts. This knowledge gives a solid indication if the traffic is really necessary or not.
Mis-configured desktops or functional systems such as e.g. fax or archiving solutions often cause an extreme load on the network and servers.
This slide gives an indication of over capacity in the server park. Each server is classified according to the maximum number of concurrent end user sessions it has served, over the 7 day analysis period.
Load levels on servers in the yellow area are very low and can often be redistributed onto other servers. Functional servers (smtp, hubs, blackberry, sametime) often show very low session levels. Use the factsheet to verify which servers fall in each category.
Customers with a highly centralized server park often show less over capacity than customers with a very decentralized server park.
This analysis topic reveals the total session concurrency caused by end users working on Domino servers, in each of the 168 hours (7 days) that were analyzed.
For time-series charts, the timezone reflected on the horizontal axis is equal to that of the workstation that was used for the data collection.
Network compression is a feature that was introduced with Lotus Notes and Domino release 6. The compression ratio we see at customers is around 40%, so the benefits of this feature are significant.
For network compression to function properly, a setting needs to be in place at both ends of the connection, so both on all servers as well as on every desktop. This is usually not the case. With this analysis, we show how much of the total network traffic was making use of compression (pie chart). In addition, DNA is presenting for all servers and users if compression has been enabled or not.
Customers that make use of other compression solutions in their network, may want to reverse the purpose of this analysis. In these situations, customers may want to disable Notes network compression.
The factsheet reveal which servers and users make use of compression.
Description:
This analysis produces insight into how capacity is being utilized in the database landscape. The left hand table shows how many databases have been deployed, and how many of these have been touched by end users during the analysis period. The right hand table does the analysis on the same databases, but then for storage that these databases occupy.
Interpretation:
This analysis gives a solid indication for the amount of over capacity that exists in the database landscape. Organizations with a highly decentralized server park often show higher levels of over capacity.
Many organizations have seasonal applications that are used once per month, quarter or year. As this DNA analysis covers a 7 day period, these kind of applications may show as unused.
Side note:
Databases that are not recorded in the catalog.nsf are not included in this analysis, therefor the numbers presented in this analysis may slightly differ from those presented in other analysis topics
When the Namelookupcachepool utilization is clipping this could be an indication that the amount of memory assigned to the namelookupcache is insufficient. Default value is 16MB.
Namelookup requests that are not found in the cache, result in the server going to disk to read the data. This slows down server performance.
