Best Sametime Tip

Category Linux Sametime
Here's a tip that works better than bottled carnival tonic to fix odd problems with Sametime. Recently I was getting authentication errors for the meetingroom servlet, and erratic A/V settings with the calendar integration for on-line meetings.
I enabled VP_TRACE_ALL in the debug section of the Sametime INI and started reading through the entries. Nothing was standing out to identify the source of these problems, and I had already double-checked all the configurations.

In the end, I downed the Domino tasks and ran through the basic set of maintenance utilities against the vpuserinfo database. My servers are RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.4, so I needed to ssh to connect, and then ran the following, familiar commands, from the /opt/ibm/lotus/bin directory:

  • fixup /local/notesdata/vpuserinfo.nsf -f (add -j if you use transactional logging)
  • compact /local/notesdata/vpuserinfo.nsf -C -D -i
  • updall /local/notesdata/vpuserinfo.nsf -c

After removing VP_TRACE_ALL and starting up Domino, the Sametime tasks and servlets ran correctly and all the problems were resolved.
