You’ve been told that you will need to go though Connections 6.0 to get to Connections PINK.
We’ve been through the process already and can show you the best way to do it.
From planning your data migration strategy, requirements and software upgrades, to time estimates and lessons learned and the all important documentation stage that everyone loves.
Let us be the pain relief to your migrations headache (other antidotes are available).
Writing your first Watson Work application, and why you’d want toLetsConnect
If you’ve heard about Watson Workspace and Work Services but have been wondering just what makes it different from other chat systems from a developer’s perspective, then this session is for you. We’ll start by showing what these two offerings — Workspace and Work Services — bring to the table for developers, and what they provide that’s unique. Then we’ll go through the steps of creating two applications: one which integrates with Workspace and the other which invokes Work Services APIs. You’ll see first-hand the steps necessary to get your applications up and running, and you’ll have access to sample code to use as a start for your own solutions.
IBM Connections vs. Office 365 – Episode IIILetsConnect
In this session I will explain why IBM Connections is better than Office 365 as a collaboration platform for your organization. Forget about features and functions, only the real value for you and for your organization does matter. Both platforms received some significant updates in the past months so we will have a close look!
The previous versions of this deck (http://www.slideshare.net/soccnx/ibm-connections-vs-office-365 and http://www.slideshare.net/soccnx/ibm-connections-vs-office-365-episode-ii) earned almost 10.000 views on Slideshare and thus became one of the most most downloaded decks in #soccnx history.
Enterprise collaboration driven by IBM Connections at RaytheonLetsConnect
Come hear the true story of a software developer that is out to spearhead the sharing of best practices across the Raytheon enterprise. Find out real life applications of the IBM Connections platform to bring people together around a common cause. Including but not limited to the following
Relocation across coasts based on a blog post
Creation of the most visited wiki at a company of 65,000
Ownership and growth of the most vibrant community of over 3000 members
Having used the IBM Connection product for 5 years and counting I will share with you what’s worked well at Raytheon from the end user perspective in the hopes you can apply what you learned at your own company.
Introduction to Box Administration – See Why it Rocks!LetsConnect
Box is a very strong cloud file sync, storage and more solution that integrates with many IBM offerings including Connections and Connections Cloud. Often you’ll hear Box as having strong “manageability” or “security” or other adjectives without supporting detail. In this session, see an introduction to key user capabilities and the Box administrative environment to put detail to these claims. Then as you work with your organization’s business, use case and manageability requirements, you’ll be able to see if Box on its own or combined with Connections could address these requirements. Further, this understanding is especially key if an organization is looking to reduce or shut off unauthorized file sharing (e.g. personal Dropbox) with something like Box as an enterprise supported “secure and managed” alternative.
Administration
Open Doors In The Cloud By Using SSO Methodologies Between Your Organisation ...LetsConnect
This session is about setting up Federated login between IBM Connections Cloud and your on-premises environment so that your users seamlessly get logged in their Collaborative environment. In this session we go through the different steps needed to get a working solution and we discuss about the technologies used to accomplish the goal.
Automate IBM Connections Installations and moreLetsConnect
IBM Connections pink is based on Conductor for Containers, which provides a collection of tools to work with Docker containers and Kubernetes. To manage containers in large environments, lots of DevOps are using Ansible (an agentless software to automate administration tasks).
So why don’t use these tools to prepare your Connections operating system, like creating users, adding security settings or install all necessary packages to deploy DB2, Installation Manager, and WebSphere Application Server? Or use one of the available roles or tasks to automate even the installation of WebSphere, create cell and profiles …
In this session, you get the basics of Ansible and some hands-on to start the learning journey into “”cloud”” based software management.
SharePoint 2013, Office 365 and Social ComplianceJoel Oleson
SharePoint 2013, Yammer and Office 365 product families bring new capabilities for content sharing, finding, organizing, and authoring. They also create new challenges. The move to the cloud and the integration of SharePoint with the enterprise social network with yammer, and have made this release so profound and disruptive to the business. In this session we'll dig into planning and strategy for social architectures around both business process and the technologies to help ensure compliance and success. Social enterprise technology is transformative and will lead to more agile business when used correctly, but a disaster and chaos when not used properly.

We also want to share how customers all over the world helped us shape the future of Notes/Domino and defined the top outcomes to be included in Domino 10.
Conway's Law in Practice: Agile Teams & Microservices by Bogoi Bogdanov)Bosnia Agile
Microservice is a buzzword, Agile is a buzzword, DevOps is a buzzword, Java-based itself means so many things… We can continue this way - ad infinitum. What we all really want to see is the real practice! What’s important is how we actually implement a microservice architecture, which techniques and tools we use, how we can structure our teams and our work process. We will show you exactly these thing during this talk!
In this talk you will see real examples and hear real stories of the work life. We will see the way we work in agile manner, utilizing principles and practices, and how we build and scale our solutions. It is very interesting to see how the microservice architecture reflects the Agility and how our Agile way of working is changing the microservices. For sure there are pros and cons, success and failure stories, good and bad results - we will tell the real story.
IBM Connections and Office 365 are often considered as direct competitors. In this presentation I will describe the social capabilities of both platforms and explain why IBM Connections is much better :-)

Adopting Social remains a challenge for many organizations, but how do you change the attitudes of some people, including senior executives who have their minds made up in advance? Many agree the best way is to focus on business solutions rather than lists of features. This session presents what happened when “the old way of doing things” met some new thinking at A&W Food Services of Canada, who faced the challenge of how to increase the use of IBM Connections. Take a corporate strategy process, add Connections and some iPads, focus on the business solution, save some paper and open some eyes to the possibilities. Those senior executives are now happy Connections users. We will explain the need and the solution and give you the steps to do the same thing in your organization.
Chzech SharePoint Conference - intranets on share point and office365 - the g...Thomas Gölles
"What's the deal with Communication and Teams Sites?", "Should I use Teams or Groups for collaboration?", "Is on-premises dead?" Those questions sound familiar? Then let's talk about the different opportunities on how to orchestrate the core services of Office365 and SharePoint on-premises to deliver an intranet architecture that not only adds value but also drives user adoption. SPFx, PnP and Microsoft Graph build the technology base layer, whereas services like Flow, PowerApps or the Azure Bot Framework take your intranet to a new level. But never forget about the main target: your users must use it on a daily basis. This session gives an overview of the not so techie side, focusing on the tools in the design, architecture and roll-out phase and of course the setup of an ideal intranet project.

1084: Planning and Completing an IBM Connections UpgradeGabriella Davis
So we have IBM Connections installed, but now it’s time to consider what and when to update. It could be a WebSphere fix or a DB2 fixpack, a new application, or database scheme. Some updates are for security, some for performance and some for new features. In this session we'll discuss how you can decide when and what to upgrade, how to plan for and perform a safe upgrade, test when it’s complete and what things can trip you up along the way. All of this is based on lessons learned over hundreds of deployments.
Planning & Completing An IBM Connections UpgradeGabriella Davis
Presentation from ICON UK in London Sept 2015 on approaches to upgrading IBM Connections whether it's a WebSphere iFix, TDI, DB2 or the Connections applications themselves
Migration is a roadblock to moving forward with your SharePoint strategy. Migration is phased, iterative, and error prone. But migration itself is not the goal – an optimized and user-friendly environment is your goal. Beyond the Microsoft-provided overview of how to plan for an upgrade and migration, there is a lot of room for error. This presentation outlines 11 critical strategies for migration planning that no project should move forward without. (based on article published in ECM Connections 11/2/2010) Attendees will walk away with a detailed action plan for their migrations to SharePoint 2010.
Exchange 2016 will be released in late 2015. The new server will build on the management framework used in Exchange 2013 and the lessons learned from Office 365. This presentation looks at the many different ways that you can manage Exchange 2016 in various scenarios such as mixed version servers, hybrid with Office 365, and even a greenfield deployment.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

• Add additional PINK
components
• Test again
• Do not use all or nothing
• Can cause issues
• Difficult to debug
• Troubleshooting

What do you need to know?
• Your system must be at least V5 to go to 6
• If not you must migrate the DBs to V5 before you start
• Essentially its like installing a new Connections system
• There is no magical upgrade button
• Most components need updating or are new versions
• Sometimes the instructions for configuring have completely changed
• Know what to back up
• Read the migration guide
• Backup the shared data, customizations and DBs before you start
• DO NOT just copy the customizations over
• Often jsps or config has changed. Once new version is installed – reapply the changes in
the new file versions
• READ THE DOCUMENTATION – before you do anything
8. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
New Pink Features
• Orient Me
• Notification Center
• Additional features –
not magically installed
as part of the standard
6 install
• Linux Only
• RHEL 7 / Centos 7
• VM needs some power:
10GB Ram, 4 CPUs
• Runs on new Pink stack
of Docker, cfc,
mongoDB, redis etc
11. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Get the right stuff
• Regularly check requirement documents
• All versions are listed here:
• http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27012786
• Check all notes, Download PDF
• Be careful with installation documents
• Sometimes wrong dependencies mentioned
• Supported statement does not mean it’s licensed
12. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Get the right stuff
• Check the system requirements
• Make a list
• Get the correct versions
• WAS is mutli os, as are the fixes
(8.5.5.10)
• Connections– os versions
• TDI – os versions (7.1.1 fp6)
• DB2 – os versions (11.1)
• Other DBs – use supported
versions – or you may hit issues
Oracle (12.1.0.2), MSSQL (2016)
• Install a DB Client
• Install 64 bit where possible
• Install an LDAP browser
• *Real* text editor – notepad is useless
• Fiddler for support & its useful
• If Windows use a tool like baretail for
watching logs
• PINK
• IC-OrientMe-6.0.0.0.zip – from
fixcentral
• Must set Linux as the OS or you can’t
find it
14. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Test System is a must
• ALWAYS test a migration – did we mention ALWAYS!!
• A test or dev system is always a good idea
• Useful for migrations, fix packs, customization and config changes
• Doesn’t have to be a mirror of live – can be a single node system
• VM or spare machine under a desk – it will do
• Same OS, DB, LDAP and HTTP server a must for sensible testing
• Ensure your boss, project manager etc. knows how important a test
system is
• Add a test system to the requirements
16. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
NEVER do an in-place migration
• There is NO TEST – all or nothing
• Once you have started there is no real roll
back
• System is down when the migration takes
place – users are off for however long it takes
• Much pressure if there is a problem
• Avoid where possible
• If there HAS to be an in place migration
ensure sufficient offline backups and
snapshots have been taken to allow a restore
• Have a plan to roll back, where possible
migrate when system has down time
(weekend, maintenance window etc)
• Stop EVERYTHING – your system will be
completely offline whilst the update takes
place
• Back it up : DBs and File System
• Uninstall Connections
• Ensure WAS profiles are clean (no apps or
config), update WebSphere, recreate and
configure (as per install)
• Install connections and configure
• Drop new Connections DBS, restore and
update existing
• Configure connections, apply fixes, any
customizations
• Test

18. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Side by Side – best practise (sensible) way
• Completely separate environment – live
system can stay up whilst migration testing /
system building occurs
• Allows for full testing before go-live
• Any changes can be made to the new system
with little pressure as the live is still
functioning
• An actual live migration can be run when the
system has planned downtime (weekend,
maintenance window etc) – can take as little
as 4 hours (depending on amount of data)
• If issues with live migration – existing system
is still available to roll back to in seconds
• Less risk, less pressure, easier to debug
• Stop the Connections system – back up
everything
• If a test migration - Restart and let your users
carry on
• Install a fresh Connections system elsewhere
and configure it up as per normal – apply
fixes, customizations etc.
• Test the clean system to ensure it works as
expected – then BACK IT UP
• Migrate the data – File system (Connections
data shared)
• Migrate the DB’s – either with the DBT or
drop, restore and update
• Test
20. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Back everything up
• Data bases
• ALL OF THEM!!
• Even if you are using the
Database transfer tool (DBT)
• Shared File System
• Back up the whole of the
shared content store
• We can restore a subset
shared_content_store/audit
shared_content_store/activities/content
shared_content_store/activities/statistics
shared_content_store/blogs/upload
shared_content_store/communities/statistics
shared_content_store/customization*
shared_content_store/dogear/favorite
shared_content_store/files/upload
shared_content_store/forums/content
shared_content_store/profiles/statistics
shared_content_store/wikis/upload
* We refer to this not restore the whole folder
22. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
K.I.S.S – its not rocket science
• NEVER (seriously NEVER) do an in place
migration
• Side by Side allows to test a clean system
before running the data migration
• Use the same DB type (i.e DB2 to DB2)
• Install with example.com for mail
notifications
• Run at least one test data migration
• Test all customisations with migrated data
• Document everything – record for go live
and subsequent upgrades
• If an issue occurs fix it – don’t plough on
regardless
• If you have to do an in place DB migration
make sure DBA understands the steps and
order things need to be run
• Firewalls / DNS / Network – get these sorted
before you start.
• Dedicated *Admin* user for install
• Simpler to implement phases to minimise
risk – allows testing at each stage
• Test without proxies – add once working –
Keep it simple to install
23. Do not fall for ALL or Nothing
1. 5.X > 6
2. 6 + Pink
=
24. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Never all or nothing
• All or Nothing
• What happens when you try to
do too much at the same time
• Issues with Cognos, Issues with
CCM, Issues with Docs, Issues
with data migration
• Issues were fixed, something
else broke
• Hard to debug as too much
going on at any one time.
No quick wins, customer loses focus, many PMRS
opened, hard to resolve issues as multiple products
with problems.
25. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Never all or nothing
• Phased
• Connections upgrade from 4 to
5
• Deployed FIB for surveys, add
the additional customization
• Deployed Cognos / Kudos for
metrics
• Connections Content Manager
• Then last but not least IBM
DocsQuick wins, customer has working system, easy to
debug any issues.
Total time 6 weeks
27. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
TEST !!!!!
• Test a clean 6 system before
migrating data
• If in doubt test again before
installing / adding a new feature
• Migrate to 6 before adding PINK
features
• Get *REAL* users to pre and post
migration
29. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Pink is the new Blue / Green / Yellow
• Easy (ish) install on a newly
updated Centos 7 (or RHEL) box*
• Machine must have a resolvable
external DNS currently**
• For test/demo/small
environments a single VM will do
• Larger production environments
recommended 3 VMs***
• Disable machine firewall for
install
• Ensure you have installed zip
• Networking is configured
correctly
• ***If installing on multiple VMS –
set NFS file sharing up
• This is the FOUNDATION for PINK
• As new features are rolled out they
will be deployed to this “OrientMe”
environment
* Take note of the system requirements (see the knowledge
center link on the next slide)
** work around for this here: http://bit.ly/PINK-DNS-FIX
30. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Pink – install info
• Extract IC-OrientMe-6.0.0.0.zip
• Follow the instructions in
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYGQH_6.
0.0/admin/install/c_install_orient_me_homepage.html
• Prepare the install files
• Run the installer script – downloads
and deploys Docker, CFC and other
associated software.
• DO NOT change the default CFC
password of admin/admin until
everything is configured
• Create the storage
• Configure Connections 6 TDI /
Profiles
• Install the Orient Me images
• Configure HTTP / Proxy
• Configure REDIS
• Run the people migrator for
homepage
• Fix for SSL
• Configure the notification center
• Test via yourconnections.url/social
34. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Post migration & Troubleshooting Cnx 6
• Post migration tasks - Read the
KB http://bit.ly/cnx6-postmigrate
• Migrate / rebuild search
• Clear all scheduled tasks
• Migrate community surveys
• Steps or profile / profile policy
types
• + More …
• Troubleshooting
• Start with clear logs & clear
<profile>/temp & wstemp
• Know where the logs are
• WAS, HTTP, Plugin, DB2,
Cognos, CCM, Docs etc.
• Start with Systemout and
work backwards
• Test against WAS (no HTTP) if
HTTP issues
35. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Troubleshooting PINK
• Check the datastores / pvs –
kubectl get pv,pvc
• Check the pods –
kubectl get pods
(use –o wide for more details)
• Check the services –
kubectl get svc
36. Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Troubleshooting PINK
• If you see issues with the pods
you can redeploy them
• Get the pod name from running
kubectl get pods –o wide
• Simply delete it
i.e.
kubectl delete pods orient-
webclient-2180930634-2831s
• Pods recreate themselves
• If you need to delete all pods
• kubectl get pod | cut -d " " -f 1 |
xargs -n1 -P 10 kubectl delete pod
• Pods terminate then recreate
• If in any doubt ask in the
Connections Skype chat – the
PINK devs are listening in
