zSametime Gateway Toolkit (new for 7.5.1)

The Sametime toolkits for 7.5 and beyond are only available in the Sametime SDK, not individually. You can download the Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 SDK, and previous Sametime SDK and toolkit releases, by using the "Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 SDK" link on the Sametime server home page, or by going to the following IBM developerWorks site:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/downloads/toolkits.html

The Sametime SDK is packaged in a .zip archive file. To install the SDK, simply extract the contents of this file to any location on your local drive. After extracting the files, see the file readme.txt in the st751sdk directory for important information about the SDK. To uninstall the SDK, simply delete the st751sdk directory.

Note: The Sametime C++ Toolkit and COM Toolkit were not updated for the Sametime 7.5 or 7.5.1 releases, and are not included in the Sametime SDK. The previous releases of these toolkits are still available on the developerWorks site, and should work with the Sametime 7.5.x releases, but there are no plans to further enhance these toolkits.

Pre-installation steps for Linux Sametime Server 7.5.1

Following are the steps to take before installing a Linux Sametime 7.5.1 server:

1.Configure the default number of open file descriptors so Domino and Sametime can run without warnings. Add the following to the end of /etc/security/limit.conf:

*

hard

nofile

65535

*

soft

nofile

65535

2.Disable the firewall. For example, on RedHat, this can be achieved by running the following (it only needs to be run once; configuration is persistent):

chkconfig iptables off service iptables stop

3.Make sure that the host file(/etc/hosts/) has an entry for the local hostname, where the server is installed and running.
