Domino 8.5 for i: Unsupported features
 Technote (FAQ)
 
 
Question
What features are not supported with Domino 8.5 for i?
 
Answer
The following features are not available with Domino 8.5 for i:
  • DB2 datastore and related Query View and Domino Access View capabilities
  • Integration with and forwarding events to the Tivoli Enterprise console
  • Activities server. To use Activities with Notes 8 and later releases, the Activities server must be deployed to a supported platform. Refer to the Lotus Connections documentation for more information on Activities server configuration options and deployment.
  • The feature Fault Recovery restart in less than 30 seconds with Full NSD
  • The OS400/INTLENG/BATCH directory and files were removed from the physical media when the Domino product grew beyond 1 physical CD. As a consequence, Domino for i no longer supports the BATCH INSTALL feature of LODRUN as described in Installing and Managing Domino 6 (i400help) Appendix B.

    The LODRUN command may still be used to install the Domino product interactively using physical media. Place the media in the IBM i system's optical drive and issue the command:
      lodrun dev(<optical-device-name>) dir('/os400/')
  • The IBM i "cluster-enabled" Domino capability provided with the CFGDOMCRG and related DOMCRG commands is removed beginning with Domino release 7.0. For more information on IBM i High Availability (HA), see http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/availability/i/index.html?

    Domino clustering is fully supported and is the preferred failover solution.
  • xSP hosting has been removed. If the CFGDOMSVR or CHGDOMSVR commands specify XSP(*YES), the setting is ignored.
  • SNMP Agent
  • IPv6 support on IBM i varies depending on the release, as indicated in the table below:
    Featurei 5.4 i 6.1
    Domino server configuration (*)IPv4 / IPV6 IPv4 & IPv6
    i Navigator and i Navigator Tasks on the WebIPv4 onlyIPv4 & IPv6
    HTTP (Apache) PluginIPv4 onlyIPv4 & IPv6
    FTPIPv4 onlyIPv4 & IPv6
    Java console IPv4 onlyIPv4 & IPv6

    (*) You can configure a Domino server to communicate using IPv6 using the CFGDOMSVR CL command or configuration wizard (domwzd).
  • RMEVal is not supported with the "classic" Java option 10; it is supported with Java SE 32 bit (J9), option 11 only.
Domino 8.5.1 Update (October 2009):
  • IBM is no longer distributing Domino for i5/OS Single Logon. Support for existing installations of NNSLINST.NSF will be discontinued on November 30, 2009.
  • Domino configuration setup wizard will not launch from System i Navigator.
    System i Navigator 5.4 does not support launching the Domino 8.5.1 server setup configuration wizard (Domino - New - New Domino Server) due to Java version incompatibility. An addition, there is an issue with System i Navigator 6.1 (with any System i Navigator service packs applied) described in technote 1404371 that also impacts launching the wizard from System i Navigator.

    The alternative methods for configuring a Domino server are:
      1. Launch the standalone Domino configuration setup wizard (domwzd.exe) from the physical media DVD or Web kit.
      2. Use the Configure Domino Server (CFGDOMSVR) command.
  • JavaUseClassicJVM notes.ini setting is not supported with Domino 8.5.1 for i. If specified in the notes.ini file, the following message will display on the server console during startup.
      Notes .INI setting JavaUseClassicJVM in use. The Classic JVM is not tested or supported in this release of Domino and is not available in the release following IBM i 6.1. Removing this .INI setting now to use J9, the default JVM, is strongly recommended.

    Remove the setting from the server's Notes.ini file and re-start the server to use J9, the default and supported JVM. See the Software Requirements technote for information about using IBM Developer Kit for Java V6 J9.

    Refer to the IBM Upgrade Planning statement for more information about support of the Java Developer Kit.

  • Several new Directory SDK API interfaces are added in Domino 8.5.1. The interfaces are included in the QNOTES/LIBNOTES wrapper *SRVPGM that supports Domino multi-versioning, but the new Directory API functions are not supported on IBM i at this time.
