IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes

There are a couple of other methods for changing configuration values that should assure retrieval of the latest values:

1.Make the configuration changes.

2Stop the server.

3.Delete the file 'SametimeCommunity2.xml' from the data directory.

4.Restart the server.

Or method:

1.Make the configuration changes.

2.In the Domino console, restart the HTTP server with the command 'tell http restart'.

3.Wait a few moments for Domino to respond that the HTTP server has restarted.

4.Restart the entire server.

Either of these methods should cause sytem components to retrieve the latest configuration values.

Notifying a user when a messaging partner closes the chat window

When two people are chatting in an instant messaging window and one person closes the window, the second person's window remains open. You can configure a message to inform the second person when their messaging partner is no longer online:

1.Navigate to the lotus/domino folder (the same folder where the sametime.ini file is stored).

2.Create a file called stGateway.ini.

3.In the new file, insert the following key with a message similar to the example shown below: VP_IM_FAILED_MESSAGE=Your Messaging partner is no longer online.

4.Save the new file.

Sametime Connect client file transfer overview

The Sametime Connect client can transfer files by either one of two methods: via the server (RTC), or via peer to peer (P2P). The method is chosen programmatically at runtime and depends on server settings, as well as client settings.

Server file transfer (RTC)

When this method is used, the Sametime Connect client will call upon the Real-Time Collaboration (RTC) API to transfer the file. The RTC layer then communicates directly with the Sametime server, and passes the file through the server to the receiving user. RTC file transfers honor the existing Sametime user policies for allow/disallow file transfer, maximum size of file allowed, and file types disallowed from transfer.

Peer-to-peer file transfer (P2P)

When this method is used, the Sametime Connect client will attempt to connect directly to the chat partner's machine, and transfer the file if a successful connection is established. P2P file transfers bypass all Sametime file transfer user policy checks, i.e. file sizes and file types. In order to be able to use this transfer method, the user's sametime.properties file must contain the p2p flag (
