Being armed with the newest set of weapons is crucial for not being left behind when it comes to efficiently administering your servers. The number of new features added to recent IBM releases is staggering, yet workload time constraints cause us to stick to our old ways of doing things despite the opportunity to increase our effectiveness and thereby efficiency. In this in-depth, problem/solution formatted session we’ll discuss some of the latest and greatest features for administering IBM Domino, IBM iNotes and IBM Traveler through customer examples and real world scenarios. We’ll share best practices that allowed us to successfully solve architecture challenges in critical areas such as security, mail routing, replication, web/mobile capabilities and more.
Having a full set of Sametime features available on mobile devices has been a priority for IBM so if you are deploying, whether it’s the complete feature set including meetings audio and video or just instant messaging you can extend the functionality using IBM Connections Chat and IBM Connections Meetings applications which are available for most mobile platforms. In this session we will review both the backend server configuration and the features available via the mobile applications and discuss usability, bandwidth and security implications
How long does it really take to install and configure IBM Connections - 99% of your time is taken up by waiting for things to install.
In this 45 minute presentation everything you need to know about installing and configuring your first connections install

Setting Up a Hybrid Domino Environment to Ease your Way to the CloudGabriella Davis
Are you looking at Cloud options and wondering how and if you can get there from where you are? If you have Domino on premises and are considering Cloud then a good option is a hybrid architecture which maintains all your on premises configuration managed by your own administrators but adds Cloud client access managed by IBM. We will look at how simple it is to create this hybrid solution using Domino passthru servers and review how things like user and directory maintenance, client access and mail routing will then work. From Domino Admin to Domino Hybrid Admin in a few simple steps.
1049: Best and Worst Practices for Deploying IBM Connections - IBM Connect 2016panagenda

Improve your SQL workload with observabilityOVHcloud
How to see everything in our perimeter? Better yet, how to make sure everyone can follow the activity of their databases? Developers are not used to watch (closely) their databases performance, how to share this knowledge and make it accessible? This is the challenge we have set ourselves. One year later we can share our experience. Scaling is not always throwing resource on a design issue. What if observability was not just a buzzword, but had a real impact on production?

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.

Config doc specified for each server or set of
clustered servers?
Do you have a default doc?
Is it correct?
• Security
Lockout settings consistent on all docs?
• Router/SMTP
Restrictions and Controls – SMTP Inbound Controls
Don’t allow relaying (put * in 2 & 4)
Default values = NOT good!

Connection docs
• Do not keep unused Connection docs!
• Use DNS names, NOT IP addresses
• Do NOT set to replicate from 12:01 AM – 11:59 PM on
heavily loaded servers

Connection docs
• Are names.nsf, admin4.nsf, and events4.nsf replicating?
• Want to avoid this!
admin4.nsf has not replicated (PULL) with ANY server since MM/DD/YYYY
HH:MM:SS (1681 hours ago)
admin4.nsf has not replicated (PUSH) with ANY server since MM/DD/YYYY
HH:MM:SS (1681 hours ago)
This is 70 days 1 hour !!!

Schedules
• When are tasks running?
ServerTasksAt1=Catalog,Design
ServerTasksAt2=Updall
ServerTasksAt3=Object Info –Full
No longer needed, for shared mail only
Server TasksAt5=Statlog
• Are critical tasks running?
• Are heavy agents running while maintenance tasks are
running?
• What is your Backup schedule?
• Use ‘show sched’ to show schedule of all program documents
12
14. IamLUG 2013
Person docs
• Policy assigned properly to all?
• Perform periodic audit to remove obsolete entries
Test accounts are security risks
13
15. IamLUG 2013
Desktop Policy Settings docs
• Medium encryption when creating new local replicas?
• Auto-save enabled and set to short time (<5 minutes)?
• Check for mail every N minutes, where N > = 10?
• Fault Reports enabled?
• Contacts Synchronized?
14
18. IamLUG 2013
Domino Directory
• Users have Author access?
• Users do NOT have local replicas of the directory?
Directory contains entire info of your domain
Replication with old replicas can Raise the Dead (documents)!

23. IamLUG 2013
Group docs
• LocalDomainServers has only active servers
No test servers, no people, no other groups
• Group type and access set correctly on key groups?
Author Names fields (Owner, Admin fields on Admin tab)
Reader Names fields (document properties dialog)
22
25. IamLUG 2013
Common General Architecture Gremlins
• Backups verified by performing Restores?
• OS patches applied promptly?
2nd Tue every month is “patch Tuesday” for MS Windows
• Cluster Failover tested?
Mail routing during cluster failover tested?
• Systems relaying via Domino use DNS alias,
not a specific server name?
smtp.mydomain.com vs. servername.mydomain.com
• Using spam/virus filter for both inbound and outbound?
• Users cannot access administration server?

Tools – Server Monitor
• Leave Server Monitor running at all times
• Check often
25
31. IamLUG 2013
Number of Mail.Box Files
• Ensure you have enough mail.box files
Mail.Mailbox.Accesses
Mail.Mailbox.AccessConflicts
Want a lower percentage of conflicts (2% or
less)
Mail.Mailbox.AccessConflicts / Mail.Mailbox.Accesses
= < 0.02

Mail Delivery Statistic Original After Tuning
Mail.Mailbox.AccessConflicts 1151 8
Mail.Mailbox.Accesses 3877 3023
Server.MailBoxes 2 4
32. IamLUG 2013
Full Text Index Tuning
• Spawn full-text indexing off to own thread
Update_Fulltext_Thread=1
Prevents long full text indexing operations from
delaying view updates
By default, view updates and full text indexing are
driven by the same thread

• Number of threads to handle web server requests
• Key statistic
Http.Workers
Domino.Threads.Active.Peak
*Critical for Traveler
Performance!!

35. IamLUG 2013
Monitor Traveler Performance
• tell traveler status
Example Yellow status
Example Green status

36. IamLUG 2013
Monitor Traveler Performance
• tell traveler mem
Java memory usage
Max total = 1024 MB
Current total = 96 MB
Free = 976 MB (95%)
Allocated = 48 MB (5%)
C memory usage
Total = 2047 MB
Free = 395 MB
Allocated = 1652 MB
35
37. IamLUG 2013
Monitor Traveler Performance
• Threads
HTTP threads = # of devices X 1.2
• Traveler thread pools
Check GetThreadDelayTime
Want majority in 0-2 second range
Monitor device synchronization return codes
503 – Server busy, indicates insufficient synchronization
threads
36
38. IamLUG 2013
Defrag the Derby Database
• Over time Traveler performance can deteriorate
Defrag the Derby database to restore performance
• Steps to start a Defrag:
Tell traveler shutdown
Tell http quit
Load traveler -defrag
37
39. IamLUG 2013
Defrag the Derby Database
• Requires Traveler 8.5.2.4 or 8.5.3.1 or later
• New Notes.ini parameters
NTS_DEFRAG_INTERVAL_DAYS=<# of days>
NTS_LAST_DEFRAG=<timestamp of last defrag>
• Defrag will automatically run if NTS_LAST_DEFRAG
doesn’t exist or if the # days past the last run is greater
than the defined interval
• Defrag a minimum of every 30 days for optimal traveler
server performance
Recommend every 7 days on busy servers

Get to the Latest ODS!
• Don’t allow simple
search
Prevents users from
searching a database that
is not full-text enabled
Doesn’t prevent searches
on whole server!!

View Performance Option
• On-demand column collations
Reduces overhead associated with indexes
Indexes built on-demand
Built over column first time user sorts on

Deletion Stubs
• Domino’s way of tracking the life cycle of a document
• Eventually deleted when “purge interval” is reached
• Many deletion stubs can impact performance to end
user
Searches read deletion stubs and include them in response
returned
Search count only shows count of full documents, which
is what user sees
• Use ‘show database dbname.nsf’ to get live and
deleted document count
• Important to purge deletion stubs on regular basis
43. IamLUG 2013
42
Check Configuration for Bottlenecks
• Number of worker threads and concurrent threads processing
Server threads
Number of server threads available for processing
Servers.Users.Peak
Server.WorkerThreads.TCPIP
Need sufficient threads for number of users
Default size: Server_Pool_Tasks * # of NRPC ports
Server_Max_Concurrent_Trans
Controls number of threads allowed to execute at same time
Default size: 20
Server_Pool_Tasks
Controls number of threads in IOCP thread pool
Check these statistics:
Server.ConcurrentTasks
Server.ConcurrentTasks.Waiting
Should be no waiting
Default size: Server_Max_Concurrent_Trans * 2
44. IamLUG 2013
Obsolete tuning parameters
• Important to remove obsolete tuning
parameters
ConstrainedSHMSizeMB
ConstrainedSHM
PercentAvailSysResources
• Can adversely affect performance
43
45. IamLUG 2013
Monitor Size of Logging Databases
• Common for agents to write to logging
databases as they process data
• Keep these logging databases small
Have seen a number of semaphore timeout issues
and HTTP thread locking issues with large logging
databases
Recommend archiving / purging documents out of
logging databases on regular basis
44
46. IamLUG 2013
Example 1
• Scenario
New IBM i LPAR
Three new Domino servers running in the LPAR
Very slow performance on all 3 Domino servers
All types of operations slow (opening databases, sending emails, …)
• Detective steps
Checked CPU utilization
Less than 10%
Checked memory utilization
Very low faulting rates
Checked network
Response times as expected
Checked Domino statisitics
Nothing stood out
45
47. IamLUG 2013
Example 1 (cont’d)
• What we know
There are ample hardware resources available
But they’re not being used!!
Domino throughput is bottlenecked
• Next steps
Checked number of threads available for processing in memory pool
Domino was running in
BINGO!!!
Not enough threads with default settings
• Resolution
Increased number of threads
Domino performance increased dramatically
CPU utilization increased
Throughput no longer an issue
46
48. IamLUG 2013
Example 2
• Initial scenario
Recent upgrade of operating system (V5R4 -> V6R1)
Recent upgrade of Domino (7.0.3 -> 8.5.2)
Core application slow
End users complaining about response times
• Detective steps
Analyzed server performance (CPU, memory, disk)
No bottlenecks found
Analyzed notes.ini file
Found ‘PercentAvailSysResources’ set on server
Obsolete in Domino 8.x
• Next steps
Removed ‘PercentAvailSysResources’
Restarted Domino sever
Performance improves, Domino is utilizing memory much better
47
49. IamLUG 2013
Example 2 (cont’d)
• Scenario after initial tuning
Performance great majority of time
Intermittent poor response times
• Detective steps
Ensured system performance monitor still active
Enabled semaphore debug
Enabled Domino statistic collection
Analyzed semaphore debug
Analyzed Domino statistics
Analyzed call stacks while performance issue occurred again
48
50. IamLUG 2013
Example 2 (cont’d)
• What we know
Large number of semaphore timeouts reported on Domino server
console
Number of active threads for HTTP task spikes from average of 25
threads to maximum of 512 threads
Faulting in Domino memory pool spikes when problem occurs
Server appears to be choking itself spending more time trying to check
to see if it can now take its turn to process a request than performing
actual work
Accesses to the Agent log database causing semaphore timeouts
• Resolution
Reduced number of HTTP threads to 100
Reduced size of Agent log database
Moved ODBC connection processing jobs (QSQSRVR) to separate
memory pool
Overall throughput improved dramatically
No server performance complaints
HTTP requests average 55 ms (previously over 150 ms)

• Scenario
Taking 3-4 seconds to tab from field to field in application
• Detective steps

52. IamLUG 2013
Example 3 (cont’d)
• What we know
Same database is being opened and read over and over
584-150 [584]) OPEN_NOTE(REP86257959:00A51F20-NT00000796,00400000): 828 ms. [48+64376=64424]

• Next steps
Analyze form design
• What we know
Found computed field doing lookup
Found form property “Automatically refresh fields” set on form
• Resolution
Changed form property
Changed view involved in lookup to not rebuild more than once an hour
Dramatically improved performance
