Nachbericht DNUG Deep Dive Domino

19. Dezember 2023 Posted by Marketing

Mit viel Vorfreude und bestimmt auch Wunschdenken, wie in der Einladung zum Event schon angekündigt, durfte die Fachgruppe nicht nur die „üblichen Verdächtigen“ begrüßen. Zu unserer großen Freude haben auch neue Gesichter den Weg zur DNUG gefunden.

Auf dem Wunschzettel der Fachgruppe stand vor einigen Wochen noch die Veröffentlichung von Notes/Domino 14 und HCL hat diesen Wunsch bereits am 07.12.2023 mit der offiziellen Launch-Veranstaltung erfüllt. Entsprechend war die Vorfreude groß und im Rahmen der Vorbereitung auf unser Event wurden bereits die Server im DNUG Lab, sowie die DNUG Sametime Server auf die neuen Versionen angehoben.

Nach einer kurzen Begrüßung durch Fachgruppenleiter Marc Thomas (panagenda) überraschte DNUG Vorstand Helmut Sproll im Rahmen seiner Begrüßung mit einigen Folien. Neben den unvermeidlichen Hinweisen zu den nächsten DNUG Events und zur großen Jahreskonferenz vom 17. bis 19. Juni 2024 in Regensburg fing Helmut an, von Notes 1, Notes 2 und seinen persönlichen Erfahrungen damit zu berichten. Nach Version 3 ging es dann in Helmuts Vortrag zur Beruhigung aller Teilnehmer mit Sieben-Meilen-Stiefeln weiter und wir waren ganz schnell bei Domino/Notes 14.

Thematisch bei Domino/Notes 14 angekommen übernahm HCL Produktmanager Thomas Hampel mit einer kurzweiligen Keynote den nächsten Part. In bekannt souveräner Weise führte Thomas durch einige Highlights der neuen Version, deren Feinheiten im Laufe des Tages noch durch die weiteren Referenten herausgearbeitet werden sollten. Kaum kam während des Vortrags der Hinweis auf den jetzt in HCL Nomad enthaltenen Domino Designer, wurde es im Chat lebendig. Da waren Stimmen wie: „Das ist ja völlig an mir vorbeigegangen“ über „Ich habe den mal schnell heruntergeladen“ bis zu „Wow, startet der schnell“. Aber bei all den neuen Features sollte das nicht die einzige Ankündigung sein, mit der Thomas für Gesprächsstoff sorgte. Die Ankündigung, dass mit Domino 14 auch eine, auf fünf Anwendungen, eingeschränkte Domino Leap Lizenz für alle CCB Kunden verfügbar ist, sorgte für Begeisterung.

Diese Begeisterung nahm Marc Thomas dann auch sogleich in seinen Vortrag zu Notes 14 mit. Marc berichtete nicht nur von seinen ersten Erfahrungen mit dem neu veröffentlichten Notes Client, der sich überraschend gut anfühlt, sondern wies ganz selbstverständlich auch auf kleine oder größere Stolperfallen hin, die sich schon dadurch ergeben, dass der neue Client ausschließlich als 64Bit-Version erscheinen ist. NICE ist dann eben nicht NICE64 😉

Im nächsten Vortrag durften die Teilnehmer Neuigkeiten aus dem Bereich Domino Leap erfahren. Andreas Zapke wusste hier ebenfalls von vielen positiven Veränderungen zu berichten. Auch er versäumte nicht, auf die jetzt in Domino 14 enthaltene Leap–Lizenz nochmals hinzuweisen, bevor er dann das Wort an Daniel Nashed übergab.

Daniel begann seinen Vortrag mit dem Hinweis, dass alles, was er heute zeigt, bereits in der DNUG Umgebung produktiv ist und speziell im DNUG Lab für alle verfügbar ist. Dort kann man als registrierter Benutzer nicht nur das ein oder neue Feature begutachten, man kann sich auch die vorliegende Konfiguration ansehen. Weitere Infos zum DNUG Lab gibt es HIER. Soweit der kleine Exkurs ins DNUG Lab.

Nach dem Hinweis gab es dann kein Zurückhalten mehr und Daniel berichtete von Features, die es mit dem neuen Domino 14 gibt. Dabei gab es Informationen zur Verwendung einer neuen Java-Version und Hinweise, warum aktuell als Plattform für den Domino kein SUSE Linux zum Einsatz kommen darf. Oder doch? Schaut Euch Daniels Folien nochmal an 😉

Über zusätzliche Anwendungen (Verse, Nomad, OnTime) und Domino Backup ging es dann weiter. One-Touch Setup (OTS) durfte ebenso wenig fehlen, wie Hinweise zu Verbesserungen im Bereich der Domino Security. Am praktischen Beispiel zeigte Daniel die Authentifizierung via Passkey und natürlich auch die entsprechende Konfiguration. Mehr Features? Gerne! Egal ob Benutzeranlage mittels Admin Central oder Domino 14 Autoupdate. Daniel hat, wie eigentlich immer, seinen Vortrag dicht mit Features und Demos gepackt. Selbst der Hinweis auf MHS, das neue My HCLSoftware Download Portal durfte da nicht fehlen. Zu unserem Leidwesen hat Daniel sich an den, ihm zur Verfügung gestellten, Zeitrahmen gehalten. Manch Teilnehmer hätte ihm noch weitere Stunden zusehen können.

Nach einer kurzen Pause war es dann an Erik Schwalb (HCL) einen kurzen Ausblick auf das neue Sametime Version 12.0.2 zu geben. Auch Erik hatte keine Mühe, die ihm für seinen Vortrag zugesagten 20 Minuten mit Neuigkeiten zu befüllen. Aus Administrationssicht sicher eine der interessantesten, neuen Möglichkeiten ist die grafische Möglichkeit, managed Settings und Policies zu definieren. Im Chat war von „endlich hört die Fummelei in den diversen XML-Dateien auf!“ zu lesen.

Als letzten Tagesordnungspunkt durfte dann nochmal Thomas Hampel auf die Bühne. Thomas durfte noch ein wenig aus dem Nähkästchen plaudern und über Domino Next reden. Ja, wir sind uns bewusst, dass nicht alles, was Thomas im Rahmen dieser letzten Session vorgestellt oder angedeutet hat, dann auch tatsächlich und kurzfristig umgesetzt wird. Aber wir freuen uns bereits auf das ein oder andere avisierte Feature. Mehr wollen wir an dieser Stelle nicht verraten.

Zum Abschluss des Tages waren sich Teilnehmer und Referenten darin einig, dass trotz der vorgetragenen, teilweise tiefen Details noch Luft für weitere, vertiefende Ausführungen im nächsten Jahr bleibt. Wir möchten deshalb alle Teilnehmer, aber auch alle Leser dieses Nachberichtes, um Hinweise dazu bitten, welche Themen wir im kommenden Jahr für Sie/für Euch aufbereiten und vertiefen sollen.

Sehr positiv war aus unserer Sicht die Tatsache, dass der Chat intensiv genutzt wurde, um Meinungen und Links zwischen Teilnehmern und Vortragenden auszutauschen. Nachträglich betrachtet sind da einige interessante Diskussionen entstanden und konnten hoffentlich alle Fragen geklärt werden.

An dieser Stelle möchten wir als Fachgruppe Domino uns nochmals bei den Referenten und bei allen Teilnehmern bedanken. In diesem Sinne war es uns nicht nur ein Fest. Wir beschließen das Jahr mit den allerbesten Wünschen zu den bevorstehenden Feier- und Festtagen. Gesegnete Weihnachtszeit, ein paar hoffentlich erholsame Tage zwischen den Jahren und guten Rutsch in das neue Jahr.

Eure Fachgruppe Domino

Marc Thomas, Daniel Nashed, Daniel Reichelt und Andreas Fritz

How to Continue Working from Anywhere — and Grow Your Business

28. April 2023 Posted by Dan Allen

How to Continue Working from Anywhere — and Grow Your Business

Employees want the ability to work from anywhere — their mobile phone, their kitchen table, or the company’s physical office. Flexibility is now key for hiring and retaining talent.

In a 2022 survey of currently employed people, FlexJobs found that more than half (57%) said they would leave their jobs if they don’t get remote work options. This means, your organization depends on your employees being able to access the apps they require to do their jobs from wherever they like.

Providing this ability, however, may feel challenging. IT departments’ to-do lists are overflowing with tasks and projects. At the same time, many organizations are facing budget cuts and finding the time to research new tools simply doesn’t exist.

There’s an easy answer to this conundrum. Companies are increasingly discovering that there’s a tool that solves many of these challenges — HCL Domino Nomad.

Make everyone an app developer

With the recent upgrade to v12, HCL Domino modernized its ecosystem and created a powerful tool that helps your organization adapt to today’s workforce needs: Your employees need quick access to their apps to manage projects, serve clients, and help your business grow.

In addition to having the ability to access current apps, employees require new apps that digitize previously manual processes, make it possible to work from anywhere, and save time. Domino helps you to make your existing apps web- and mobile-ready with just a few clicks through a desktop, tablet, mobile phone, or web browser. You can quickly deliver the apps to Apple iPhone and iPad, Android tablets, and Chrome OS.

Because the latest Domino version also can help create web apps, employees can access their apps from any web browser. Instead of waiting weeks for the tools they need, your team has the apps they need in minutes.

As employees see the productivity gains and improved flexibility of mobile apps, it’s likely that you will quickly see requests for new apps to streamline your organizational processes and tasks.

Domino makes it easy for even non-developers to create new apps in 70% less time. Because technical skills aren’t needed, employees can take control of their own processes and feel empowered to make improvements in their work.

Gain efficiency with no required client upgrades

Previously, an installation of Domino Notes Client was required to create apps and databases. The newest version of Domino allows you to run Notes applications in a standard browser — or even on a mobile phone.

With the new version, your IT staff can reduce their management responsibilities, as there’s no longer a need to upgrade clients or provide desktop support.

Because the new version runs clientless, IT teams can significantly reduce the time and resources spent managing applications. Fewer help tickets mean your IT team can focus on digital transformation and other customer-facing projects.

Provide flexibility for your workforce

Domino takes the work-from-anywhere concept to a totally new level.

The platform works in the offline mode when there’s no internet or an unreliable connection, so your employees can continue to work even on an oil drilling rig or a cruise ship. Once they get to a location that has a network connection, they can upload their work and synchronize the changes.

Your team can also tailor their experience based on their preferences and needs, such as building apps that access their device’s camera, files, location, and native mobile gestures. You can also restyle older apps to update the interface to make it easier to use or give it a more modern appearance. To save even more time, you can update multiple apps at the same time.

Many organizations mistakenly assume they need multiple solutions — an ERP system, a CRM, and an HR system. With HCL Domino, you can use your existing tool to create situation apps and workflows that help you solve your biggest business challenges. Learn more about Nomad and the business-forward capabilities of the latest version of HCL Domino.

Why Low Code is Key to Digital Transformation

21. April 2023 Posted by Richard Jefts

Why Low Code is Key to Digital Transformation

Low code is revolutionizing the way organizations do business. We all hear, every day, how important speed is or how we need to be moving faster. Low code empowers companies to develop and deploy innovative solutions quickly and efficiently. This translates to faster time-to-market, improved agility, and increased customer satisfaction. Moreover, low-code platforms help bridge the gap between IT and business teams, fostering collaboration and streamlining workflows. This translates to more efficient and effective solutions that align much more closely with business objectives. We see this today with citizen applications being built by anyone at the organization first, after which IT can use what’s been started to build enterprise-grade, low-code applications.

Low-code platforms can be used to develop a wide range of solutions, from simple mobile apps to complex enterprise applications. They offer a range of benefits, including faster development times, reduced costs, improved collaboration, and more efficient workflows. It’s no wonder that they’ve become an increasingly popular choice for businesses looking to accelerate their digital transformation efforts.

According to Gartner, by 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65% of application development activity. In a survey conducted by Forrester, 23% of respondents said they have already implemented low-code platforms, while another 22% said they plan to do so in the next 12 months. The same Forrester survey found that organizations that use low-code platforms report a sixfold increase in speed of application development. This demonstrates the growing importance of low-code platforms in driving digital transformation across industries. I want to emphasize that 2024 is literally right around the corner.

Low-code platforms enable developers to build applications using a visual drag-and-drop interface, reducing the need for coding expertise and speeding up development times. By eliminating these complexities, low-code platforms empower developers and business users alike to create digital solutions without being hindered by technical limitations.

One of the key advantages of low-code platforms is their ability to improve agility and flexibility in software development. With traditional software development methods, updating a project requires significant effort and time: developers must modify the code, test the changes, and then deploy the updated software. In contrast, low-code platforms make it easier to adapt to changing requirements by enabling users to make changes to applications quickly and efficiently.

In addition to their speed and flexibility, low-code platforms can also help reduce costs by reducing the need for specialized developers and IT personnel. Because low-code platforms don’t require the specialized expertise that traditional software development demands, enterprises can draw on a wider pool of talent to create digital solutions. This can lead to significant cost savings, particularly for smaller businesses or organizations with limited IT resources. It also frees up the best of your IT talent to focus on higher-value initiatives.

Low-code platforms are not without challenges. As with any new technology, there may be concerns around security and data protection, particularly for enterprises that routinely handle sensitive data. It’s important for organizations to carefully evaluate the security and compliance capabilities of low-code platforms before adopting them. You need to work with proven vendors that have rock-solid solutions.

At HCLSoftware, we’re committed to empowering businesses by providing the tools they need to thrive in today’s competitive market. Our low-code platform offers a powerful yet user-friendly — and secure — environment enabling businesses to develop and deploy solutions quickly and efficiently, without the need for specialized coding skills. By leveraging our low-code platform, businesses can focus on delivering value to their customers, driving innovation, and achieving their digital transformation goals. All with speed!!

Our application development platforms provide more than 10 million applications to enterprises globally to keep their businesses running.

New Domino REST APIs Are Now Available

8. Dezember 2022 Posted by Adam Gartenberg

We’re pleased to announce that the Domino REST APIs are now generally available for download by Domino Complete Collaboration (CCB) and Domino CEO Communications customers on active support in their Domino v12.0.2 “Danube” environment.

Known during development and beta testing as Project Keep, these contemporary REST APIs increase the number of REST APIs available to Domino deployments from nine to over 100, allowing you to extend your Domino applications with the development tools of your choice. You can broaden the audience for your Domino development without sacrificing Domino’s security or ease of deployment. And with this new REST API access to Domino servers and databases, you can securely make Domino servers available for pro-code development. Developers can expose Domino data in the form of standardized Open-API-based methods while maintaining control of which data will be made available for view or update.

How can it be used?

To give just a few examples of how the REST APIs can be used, you can apply them to:

  • Web applications: Display job openings stored in a Domino database on the company website, validating allowable postings without requiring Java or JavaScript skills.
  • Mobile Applications: Use Volt MX to create a front-end mobile app for the travel approval system run on Domino. Employees can enter their travel requests, and when managers authenticate, they will see and can complete the workflow approval.
  • Application Integration: Integrate contracts and other customer data stored in Domino with SalesForce CRM, giving sales representatives a single view of all necessary information.

What is it? 

The Domino REST APIs allow for pro-code development through secure access to HCL Domino servers and databases, allowing you to use the programming language and framework of your choice — while maintaining the reliability and deployability of your Domino data and applications. They run alongside the server and allow you to expose — securely and easily — your Domino data in the form of standardized Open-API-based methods. Using a browser-based admin UI, application owners can define which data will be made available for view or update on a REST API. The APIs extend the Domino principles of reader/author document access definitions into the world of Internet protocols.

The Domino REST APIs also includes the Swagger UI, an API explorer that allows the visualization and interaction with APIs without having any of the actual implementation logic in place. The APIs are automatically generated from an OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) specification with visual documentation, making it easier to implement the back-end code later.

What’s special about the new Domino REST APIs?

  • Secure by default, with fine granular controls per form, field, and user basis
  • Implements latest open standards
  • HTTP/2-ready, for server-to-server or client-to-server communication
  • API-first design with full interactive documentation
  • Low barrier to entry, as it runs on a Domino server and/or your Notes client
  • Admin UI and Postman samples included
  • State-of-the-art JWT access token integrated with your existing IdP infrastructure

What can be accessed via the Domino REST APIs?

You can access content like views, documents, and fields as well as agents and ACL settings. And, of course, featuring DQL queries to quickly access the data you are looking for.

Built-in declarative security ensures the API will only allow access to fields the caller is authorized to see or update. This can effectively prevent computed fields from being overwritten and limits participants in a workflow to updating their fields only.

Where to find it

The Domino REST APIs are now available as a prepacked, ready-to-use Docker container to Domino Complete Collaboration (CCB) and Domino CEO Communications customers on active support. The download is now available in the “HCL Domino” product line category on our License and Download Portal. Please visit the documentation here to learn more and to set up your test environment. Note: The REST APIs only work with Domino v12.0.2 “Danube” and higher. (Hint: If you haven’t upgraded yet, now’s the time!)

Hey Domino Administrators — Easy for You, Even Easier for Your Customers!

17. Oktober 2022 Posted by Thomas Hampel

An Admin’s Dream
How often does something come along that is a turnkey solution, easy for you to implement, that your customers will love?  Introducing Nomad for web version 1.0.5. No longer do you have to configure a complicated SafeLinx Nomad Proxy server. This release introduces the Nomad Server, a preconfigured Domino Server container running the Nomad Server add-in. It’s Domino running the Nomad add-in just like Traveler.  With this solution, your consumers hit the URL and are automatically running “Notes in a browser,” which is what Nomad enables.

Never Upgrade Another Notes Client Again
Another bonus? No client workstations to manage that require installations and upgrades. Put the client on the Nomad server once, and all the clients are upgraded automatically since it’s just running in a browser window tab. That’s the beauty of Nomad.  Don’t want to run it in a browser? No problem, grab your favorite mobile tablet or phone and hit the app store to download HCL Nomad or push out via your Mobile Device Manager (MDM) application.

Restyle Automatically Makes Your Notes Applications Stylish
Many Notes applications were developed decades ago, and the original designers are sipping champagne in St. Tropez enjoying their retirement. Well move over, there’s a new model on the catwalk, no designer necessary. Find your dusty application, choose Restyle from the Nomad file menu in your browser, and in seconds your application will be sporting the latest in haute couture. A modern and flat look and feel.

Upgrade your Nomad experience now with our latest release and experience all the benefits Nomad has to offer. Want to learn more about Nomad capabilities? Click here for more info.

Business Users Can Supercharge Their Application Development with the Newest Version of HCL Leap

24. Juni 2022 Posted by HCL Digital Solutions

Our latest HCL Leap v9.3 delivers major improvements to help you automate processes faster than ever and unleash innovation with your business users and citizen developers. This release includes new features and tools enabling continuous process improvements in a secure and sustainable way. Here are some of the new benefits:

  • A modern look, with a flatter UI, to increase user productivity eliminating the need to click into dialogs to discover and set item properties. 
  • Updated visual designer and UX to simplify the building of workflow apps. Sketching out new workflow stages, setting user assignments or sending out email notifications are now more intuitive. 
  • Three new features — App Pages, Data Grid and Navigation — let you build apps, not just forms. It’s now easier than ever to build dashboard-style apps which include non-form pages and item lists for viewing and selection. 
  • A code editor to improve productivity by highlighting and properly formatting the JavaScript you write. The new editor will also allow you to pick from a predefined list of code snippets and provide typehead choices to speed up your work. 
  • Enhanced role and stage-based rules to provide more power for customizing the business logic in your app without having to write code. 
  • Added name-picker widget enables a user to easily choose names or groups, from the apps directory, to engage others in the app-building process.
  • A rich-text widget for app building allowing users to enter and format text — complete with links and images. 

 And that’s not all we are delivering….

Visit the HCL Leap Sandbox to try out our latest features and view ready-made app examples which demonstrate our capabilities.  You can also watch this video on how to build apps with HCL Leap. See how quickly you can turn all your great ideas into real innovative solutions!

Transformation Awaits: Upgrade to HCL Domino v12 Now

20. Juni 2022 Posted by HCL Digital Solutions

We are deeply invested in the future of Domino, since it continues to be the underlying platform powering core business processes around the globe — for airlines, banks, health-care organizations, and governments. In the past two years, we have delivered two exciting new Domino releases that include new features aimed at improving our software’s usability, as well as important security updates. Our latest release — v12 — has been well-received and many customers have already upgraded. Given our customer’s positive response, we are announcing the end of marketing and support for two of our older releases.

Get Started with Your Upgrade Planning 

Existing customers will have the option to upgrade to Domino v12.0.1 and all affected customers are encouraged to make this transition. To provide you with more information and additional resources about upgrading Domino, you can browse our Domino Upgrade Webpage.

Upgrading your software allows you to leverage the full value of our extensive new feature set and the latest in mobile and web app development to improve workflow management. Our latest Domino v12 software reduces your security risks, helps protect your data and ensures compatibility with other updated technologies. And, most importantly, it supports innovation to help you stay ahead of the competition.

We know that some customers could want to consider other HCL options to deliver low-code functionality. We recently announced the launch of Volt MX Go, which combines the power of our multiexperience low-code platform, Volt MX, and Domino. Volt MX Go enables you to extend your skills and investments in your Domino apps and transform them into exceptional mobile, web, and even wearable experiences. Volt MX can also be deployed as a stand-alone solution if desired. Contact us to learn more.

Upgrading Domino is direct, fast, and easy. You can also deploy your Domino environment wherever you want – on-prem, hybrid or cloud — with cloud-native capabilities. Let’s do this together! Start your upgrade planning today.
