Learn to take advantage of dozens of critical out-of-the-box Domino server probes. Control noise by filtering events and configuring a monitoring hierarchy that gives designated users a clear focus on the domain's most important issues. Explore the secrets of NOTE S.INI parameters to test probe configurations and get the scoop on displaying stock entries that work efficiently in domains mixing Domino 7 and 8 servers. See how Domino 8's modular documents enable you to customize corrective actions and how the powerful DDM workflow enables you to assign team

This session steers you through the complete process of putting policies to work in your Notes and Domino environment. From registration to security to client configuration, this session will cover it all. Delve into the critical aspects of the design and implementation of policies within Notes and Domino, including how to set up policies across multiple servers. Learn how to centrally define, organize, and manage your current policy settings and avoid costly errors. Uncover the new functionality made available in ND8 as well as get best practices for initial set up and the ongoing management of your policies. Leave this session more in control of your administrative policies.

Eclipse has become the foundation for Lotus Notes and Domino 8, as well as for Rational, Portlet Factory, and Expeditor. If you're new to Eclipse or are just looking to hone your skills, then this jumpstart is for you. Review key concepts of Eclipse from the beginning all the way to how Notes and Domino 8 uses the Eclipse platform. Learn about the Eclipse architecture and capabilities it gives developers to reuse existing assets and build applications and integrate processes more quickly and efficiently. Explore topics such as extension points and plug-ins and gain expert insight into why Eclipse is so essential for Domino developers today. Leave with a solid understanding of Eclipse and how Notes and Domino 8 leverages it to build robust applications.

This session will take a deep dive into the Lotus Notes Calendar and Resource Reservation system to give you the knowledge you need to effectively troubleshoot calendaring and scheduling in your environment. Go under the hood of the calendar and resource reservation processes to understand the inner workings and know where they can break down. Discover hidden troubleshooting tools that exist in the system for finding orphaned meetings or missing responses. Get all the best tips and tricks (both documented and undocumented) for finding, fixing and preventing problems with your users' calendars. Learn how to identify the source of broken entries and take home tools to repair them. Uncover ways to set preferences to make users more productive and less error-prone. You'll get step-by-step troubleshooting advice from an experienced calendar specialist.

Gain exposure to the core concepts of Java, including classes, objects, interfaces, and polymorphism. Explore Eclipse as a development environment rather than an application platform. Uncover several shortcuts using Eclipse that make the process of Java development for the Domino environment easier and faster. Get expert advice on how to think in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) terms and understand the major impact OOP has on the traditional Domino development process. Know which development tasks, projects, and applications lend themselves to Java. Assess your current skill set and determine the best ways to prepare you and your team to develop in Java.

This session delivers expert, real-world advice on moving Domino applications to the Web, and developing browser-based apps for Notes and Domino. You dive into Web development best practices and examine the traps to avoid. See where Notes architecture translates to the browser and where it doesn't, why you don't always need to create views, and where various UI patterns succeed and fail. Find out why some code can be reused and why some functions must be built from scratch. Learn how application security differs with a browser client, and uncover the Domino server functions you'll need to consider. After attending this session, you'll walk away confident in your ability to move your Notes applications to the web and create a compelling new design while doing so.
