IBM Lotus Domino 6.5 for Linux on Zseries Implementation

1.5 What's new in Domino 6.5

The most important new feature in Domino 6.5 for readers of this redbook is the addition of support for Linux on the zSeries platform.

Domino 6.5 also includes these features:

• Performance—Platform statistics for Domino on Linux.

• Performance—Expose D6 Workloads (Domino Web Access, Mail, IMAP) in Server.Load.

• z/OS specific—Exploit hardware cryptography for SSL.

• Database unread marks can now replicate between databases on clustered servers or on all servers where the database resides.

• A unified interface for Fault Recovery and Cleanup Scripts. Now administrators can enable and disable NSD to collect diagnostic data, enable/disable server restarts, and specific cleanup scripts, all from within the Domino Server document.

• Storing 10 last (# controlled by notes.ini) versions of server documents in XML format, in the IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory, so that administrators can track changes.

• The Automatic Diagnostic Collection tool (ADC) collects diagnostic data (if the server or client crashes) and sends the collected data to a mail-in database when the server or client restarts. You can then use the collected data to determine the cause of the crash.

• Memcheck is now enhanced by locking memory pools when executed, so there are no extraneous errors reported when it does its memory validation.

• Semaphore management now adds time stamps in SEMDEBUG.TXT, to better correlate the time-outs to what is occurring in the server log.
